Why is it great? Why is the cooler great? Why is the warranty great? C'mon people, give reasons. "I recommend X because it's great" is not very helpful to anyone.

Ok, thanks. Please say why you would go with the EVGA please.

Hi, Which AIO water cooled 980Ti should I go with? From my brief research there is: EVGA Hybrid (probably the one I will buy) Gigabyte XTREME GAMING MSI Sea Hawk Inno3D iCHILL Any other options? (When you answer please justify your recommendation with a reason) Would anyone recommend buying the AIO GPU cooler separate and putting it on another card? I am interested in an AIO cooled GPU because I am putting it in a small ITX build and don't want a air cooled card heating up the case too much. Thanks,

ITX case with room for Hybrid 980ti and 240mm AIO Cooler

Thanks for the video link. I thought he was going to compare top exhaust vs front intake. The GPU rad will cool less efficiently if the air that is used to transfer the heat from the radiator is warmer. By how much, I don't know. It might be negligible. It's like using a fan in summer to cool your face. What will cool your face more, a normal fan pushing room temp air or a fan pushing room temp air + a few degress above room temp? You probably won't notice 1 or 2 °C difference but there will be a point where you start to notice it. It's physics. In the end, those few °C might make the difference between a stable OC or not. Remember we are using water cooling in the first place to improve cooling efficiency so we can OC. Might as well make cooling as efficient as posible. I used to run a triple rad on the outside of my case when I was running custom water cooling. I tweaked it for years just for fun. Every small improvement helps. -

Ok. After some research it seems the x61 280mm AIO would be my best option. What do you think? The 280mm only fits in the front though. -
How do I figure out which mods to use? Is there a guide? Should I play through it mod-free first and then mod it?
-
Thanks. I will look into this.
-
Thanks. I really really enjoyed the first Call of Juarez. Looking forward to other ones. And Portal 2.
-
I will probably buy and play a couple games at a time and sell them once complete to help finance the next couple. Should I play Witcher 2 before 3? Skyrim and Witcher 3 are high on my list after Tomb Raiders and maybe Crysis 2 & 3. Thanks for the epic list.

I have a similar system without the GPU. You are gonna love the 6700K and SSD. I went with the Asrock mobo as I couldn't find the ASUS for sale in October 2015.
-
I have never played Assassin's Creed so will probably play through them all. How long is GTA V? The missions/story. I worry it will be too time consuming.
-
Thanks! I played Mirror's Edge some on the PS3 and was not a huge fan. I also played Portal 1 and Crisis 1 and looking forward to the secuels.

Hi, I am going to pair my 6700K with either a 970 or 980Ti so I can play some games again. I am on a 2560*1080 LG 29 inch ultrawide. I haven't played anything since 2009 and am looking for recomendations for what I should play first. I really enjoy the Tomb Raider series so I am going to start with them. What should I play after the Tomb Raiders? I enjoy RTS, Adventure and maybe FPS (I feel like I've played too much FPS). I am not interested in online games as I do not have the time. I am looking forward to enjoying the graphics and stories of the games I have missed in the past ~6 years. Maybe a little online RTS! The last games I played were Left 4 Dead, Red Alert 3, Tomb Raider Legend & Anniversary, Grid, Rainbow Six Vegas, CoD 4, Dawn of War II, Call of Juarez, FEAR 2. Thanks.

Thanks. Where can I buy it in Europe? Amazon does not sell it. -

Ok. Are you certain that the Hybrid rad will fit in the 120mm rear exhaust slot?
