    Well, whats adviseable depends on how you designed the interior of your case. All I'm seeing is an empty shell. I would love to help but I would need some more details first.

    You could wait but I wouldn't do it. It depends on how badly you need a new phone. The 5T is an amazing phone where the razer phone is more a gimmick in my opinion.

    Mantix got a reaction from scottyseng in Looking for new keyboard and mouse   
    You might want to look into the (i believe it is) k95 with speed switches. It's considered the new king over the old corsair keyboards.
    As for a mouse, keeping it plugged in won't get rid of the latency so I don't see why you would. I highly recommend the MX Master if its for content creation, if you're more a gamer go with one of logitech's mouses. It's better to have extra buttons than to have too little buttons. You can use them for macros to avoid doing tedious tasks.

    Ohh no, I personally don't think a red and black build would look good in this case...
    I am planning on doing a silver/chrome build which I think would look great with the mirror finish on the side panels.
     
    Here's all I know about the tou 2.0:
    It can house up to E-ATX motherboards It's (D)650mm x(W)292mm x(H)580mm It's made of 5mm thick tempered glass and aluminum alloy It can house up to 5x 3.5" or 2.5" drives in the removable bays to the right of the motherboard It can house 3 front mounted 120mm fans and 3 top mounted 120mm fans. It also allows for up to 2x 360mm radiators. It has room for GPU's with a size of 345 mm (if you don't remove the HDD bays) and 440mm if you decide to remove the HDD bays. It comes with SlV 1065W power supply. Custom made for the tou 2.0 (leads me to think there is no room for adding in a PSU of your own) It is 92% efficient at 50% load, which should make it either 80 plus gold or platinum. It has the same connectors as the Slll PSU: https://www.inwin-style.com/en/gaming-power-supply/s3 It also has the same see-through window the SII has. It supports up to 165mm CPU Heatsinks Front I/O has 3x USB 3.0, 1x USB 3.1 Type-C, and one 3.5mm HD audio and mic jack. There is also a 2 LED indicators and a blue power button. It has 8 PCI-E Slots There is also a touch sensor on the front to turn on and off the integrated white LED's (it's also a dimmer). There is 500 being made (according to jayztwocents) I will add more when I find it or when more info gets released.

    Mantix got a reaction from mafioso in Guys come help me with this build   
    I'd recommend getting a low-end GPU like the 1050ti or something and getting an unlocked CPU (not a necessity)
    16-32 gigs of ram are highly recommended (almost crucial with VMS)  and i wouldn't go with an i5 as your VM is gonna take some physical cores (depending on what VM you use)
    For the investment that the Hyper 212 Evo is I'd recommend getting it (it's 20-30 bucks)
     
    Edit: This will run you a bit more but i'd say its a good investment in the long term.
    If you make up your mind on what you want to go with (locked unlocked processor for example) i'd love to help you put together a build!

    Mantix got a reaction from Belbs in Torn between two different loves   
    I always recommend going for the Nvidia side of things. They allow for upgrades while not having to switch eco-system. I familiarised myself with what my nvidia graphics card can do software wise and i could just pop in a new one and it could get it running quicker than i would with an AMD graphics card. 
    This is advice based on preference not on specs. I dont know anything about the specs of the R9 card and you should consult someone else for that.

    G4650 and G4620 can run on H110, H170, B150 and Z170 if the mobo has a newer BIOS from manufacturer, or OP can flash himself

    I'd suggest going with 1080p and a 144hz refresh rate.

    This one is my suggestion. Asus is a really solid brand and offers great customer service.
    Note: it supposedly doesn't come with a HDMI cable

    This is also a really good monitor but it kind of lacks in the looks department. If you don't care about looks this is probably your best bet. If you do mine might be better suited.

    Please specify what your goal is with this build. If you don't plan on gaming there is no need to upgrade the PSU.
    I'd recommend a hyper 212 Evo since they're really cheap and offer great cooling (they're also available everywhere!)
    If you're planning on doing gaming you'll need a graphics card, if you plan on doing content creation you might need one as well as well as more ram (an i7 would also be better in that case)
    Please tell me what you're looking to get out of this PC and ill be more than happy to help
