    Happypap55 got a reaction from veimiK in How to manage my SSD?   
    I mean, it's not really good for any drive to use it. SSD's aren't immune to 'wear and tear'. That said, you should be perfectly fine. A test actually just concluded a couple weeks ago on how much an SSD can take before they crap out; you can read it here: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/03/consumer-ssds-benchmarked-to-death-and-last-far-longer-than-rated/
     
    Quote from the article "the drive that survived the longest survived more than 2.4 petabytes worth of sustained writes. That’s probably about 240x as much writing as a typical consumer SSD would need to endure over its lifetime."

    295X2's are a great deal now. Watercooled 290X's on the same board is solid. Though having this PC without an SSD is a little bit insane to me. Could probably do without the full tower but the card is pretty large so I put that in to ensure it would fix.

    Happypap55 got a reaction from conhasshoff in what motherboard do you have?   
    Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H
    No real reason, just bought it because it had a good black friday sale, had great reviews, and had all the features I wanted.
    Definitely. Looks nice (not too gamery) while looking good and the auto overclocking is handy.

    I would go with crossfire 290x's, cheaper and higher performing. Or just get one top end card like a 980. I hope you plan on 1440p or 4k.
     
    I personally love ek, swiftech, and bitspowers water cooling accessories. Any popular brands are pretty reliable, it all just comes down to which you like the look of better

    Why dual 970's instead of dual 290X's or a 295X2? 290X's are better for higher resolution and dual 970's are unnecessary for 1080p gaming.. Just curious, I'm sure you've considered it.
     
    Edit: I think you should just go simple air cooling with an aftermarket CPU cooler unless you're planning on getting into extreme overclocking.

    I work 12 hour shifts from 1800 to 0600.
    I find it helps to have a membership to a 24/7 gym near you if at all possible to keep in shape and avoid the peak hours.
    Also sleeping meds and limiting your caffeine intake so you can get 8 hours of rest every night. I usually don't drink any caffeine about 8 hours prior to when I want to sleep and I pop a couple melatonin about 30 minutes before getting off work. By the time it kicks in, I'm usually home and in bed.

    Also, 150ms latency, no thanks. Only thing that interests me is the streaming from my PC to TV, but it seems like Razer's Forge will do a better job at that for a cheaper price and knowing Nvidia, that will be locked to their GPU's like the handheld shield.
