When you run a firestrike test and its like 75fps and your like "This seems a bit low". Goes into Nvidia Settings, enables SLI, restarts the test. *150fps* Well I guess that worked

I personally really like my 8320, I use this computer for gaming and a little bit of creative work now and again (Photoshop, video editing) and a lot of multitasking the, downsides i see right now is 1. it puts out a fair bit of heat (I don't have/need a heater in my room) 2. it draws a lot of power. im starting to become more energy conscious recently (call me a tree huger, whatever) but idle my rig draws 100W-150W (probably also have my 270x to blame). 3. I do most of my creative stuff on my laptop with a I7 3632QM and that will beat my FX any day in video editing or anything more CPU intensive.

wow i derp

thanks man! ill look into it. i might end up just doing a half height card workstation card like the W4100 but thats probably overkill

ya not really a tech related question, oh well.
i'm an industrial mechanic in BC, acklands grainger is where we are told to get our stuff. ive herd good things about Snap-on but its very expensive. i've never herd of simignton automotive or MAC tools but they don't look bad. tools are not like computer parts they don't go out of date if you buy a good set, it'll last you a lifetime 

the motherboard wont affect performance in anyway, the only thing buying a more expensive motherboard will give you is features. also HD quality??? do you mean 1080P and max settings??

lots of pre-drilling and drilling, perferably with a drillpress

Connect up 1 million volts and swing it around like that guy in iron man

thanks for correcting me

Seems like you've got you're SSD situation figured out. On the GPU side I personally have an ASUS R9 270x and love it, I've herd good things and almost bought MSI. At this point in time 290s are cheaper then 970s and "have a full 4gb" not that, that matters unless your playing games at 4K. But nvidia cards do draw less power and are generally more efficient and have some cool fetures dynamic super resalution CSAA etc. So its really up to what you want.

personally I would go 1 256 vs 2 128 SSDs (less points of failure). XFX cards are sexy but not very overclockable if I remember correctly. other than that it looks like a solid build!

cortona is really buggy ATM. nice background by the way, Squamish chief right?
