  1. The Keyboard. I NED A NEW KEYBOARD :<
  2. Actually, scratch that. It seems going with the i5 4690k would be better still since there would still be upgradability options, and also that the amd zen would be on a AM4 socket, which is not available right now........... so yeah it seems like going with the i5 would be better.
  3. Btw guys, I have been wondering about amd. I heard that it gives similar performance for a much lower price, so should I switch the cpu and motherboard to amd to make it a lil cheaper?
  4. one question about the cooling by the way, would the temperature of the area I am living in greatly affect the cooling of the pc? I live in a rather hot climate.
  5. what about future compatibility. Im not an expert in this stuff.
  6. But since i am trying to overclock he cpu, wouldn't higher end cooling be needed?
  7. Yeah I was originally planning for the AF to be front intake fans(not rad fans).
  8. @Egad Wouldn't the H80i be a little to bulky for this case? I mean the case is already very compact, so wouldn't having a very big radiator disrupt air-flow?
  9. Nah that was before i switched to the kraken, i would have use the af140 for intake in the front.
  10. Thanks! I replaced my gpu witht he 380 and upgraded the power supply to the evga g2, hope this will make the build alot better!
  11. If I'm going to replace my cooler with the kraken x61, should I use it as intake or exhaust. I'm trying to keep it dust free so positive air pressure is good, but that would require the cooler to be intake, which means hot air would come in. But if its exhaust, it will be a negative air pressure which means more dust will come in so.......... or is this on a different topic already?
  12. I'm planning to use those fans and replace the stock coolers, and change the h90 stock fan as on paper it seems to be quite noisy for me, but should I just not touch the h90 stock fan? . So I went on to research a little more and decided to change the GPU to R9 380.
  13. Hey guys! So I have been planning to build my first gaming pc, and have so far decided on this build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tbbhHx . Now I would like some of your opinions and confirmation on if this build is solid enough to run games like skyrim in high settings. I'm also trying to make this future-proof so I can move on to other games. Yes I am planning to overclock the cpu. Would love to receive some opinion of this, Thanks! Edit: Here is my new build(not really much as changed): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hcn6Hx Edit(2): Changed it again, the water cooler changed to kraken x61, the af140 is for the top case fan as intake, the bled fan is my only exhaust, the rad fans are going to be in pull config as intake, so does this work? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/F2sKrH Edit(3): I realised that I did not need an ssd with 250GB(a little too much) and the motherboard is now MSI PC Mate: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Qpr96h I am planning to order the parts in about a month or 2. At most probably it would be at January next year. Thank you guys so much for you help.
