ok so after all that I realise that multicore rendering disabled itself. Fucking cs go. Fixed. Cheers anyway. 

good for compatibility if you don't want to think about it, probably also fine if it is a cpu only loop. But yes...

S240 is copper, but don't get it anyway EKslim rads are the worst of the bunch

Thanks for the tips.

I recommend 1 of 3 options:
Get the EK S240. It's aluminium, so you CANNOT mix metals and have to be careful when shopping but it should be fine to expand in the future. The quality is not an issue. If you do want to do your GPU as well (I know you said you didn't but may as well let you know that it's there) theres the S240G and if you really want to pinch pennies there is the S120, although the S240 is much better value. There is also the S360 but if you are just cooling a cpu the 240 will do fine.  Get the EK L240. Pretty much the same as the S240 but with copper blocks so you dont have to fret about mixing metals. This wont really get you much performance increase from the S240 and it does cost more.  Get a monster air cooler like the NHD15. This will do just as good of a job as an AIO or even a small custom loop (more or less) and probably will end up being cheaper and less of a headache. Water cooling is still a good option but I recommend you go for a custom loop in a kit or a air cooler. AIOs are not recommended by me. Some people swear by them but I've has way too many failures and found them to be less than impressive in terms of long term use and maintenance and quality of construction.  EDIT: forgot to mention that both custom water cooling kits I mentioned will be fine for hardline but you'll obviously have to replace the fittings. 
 
ANOTHER EDIT: forgot to give links. Listed below:

if you have a dremel they work well for this. 

It's gonna be fine for a quick run,don't put load on the cpu tho....
 

for a short test run to check if it works, it'll be fine. i wouldn't stress the CPU though.

My system in my signature took 1 litre and a bit (probably something like 1.2) so you may be ok with 1 bottle but I would get 2 just in case, you know, just in case....there's a leak.

Looks good. As for 90 degree fittings, just use them only for tight corners where there is no room for bent tubing.
Maybe where the tubing coming from the top rad that goes into the front rad.

well i wouldn't be able to tell. you can measure the space in the case and compare to the specs of each component fan 25mm + rad 30mm etc and see how much space is left. obviously some bends just can't be made

The Core V21 supports up to 185mm coolers

NHD-15 is 165mm with fans so it should fit fine

RAID 1 is just so old school, you can build a NAS out of spare parts with freeNAS and even just edit directly off of the NAS potentially, all you really need is 16gbs of RAM minimum, about 1GB of RAM per 1TB of storage, but it's better to go overboard on RAM.

Plus if it's meant to be portable you don't have to take all of the hard drives with you.

Should go for a Core 500 instead of a Define Nano, it still supports 240mm AIOs, but is more portable.

If you really want ITX then the 1800X is the clear option, otherwise threadripper is alright if you're ever going to upgrade to more cores or add a lot of NVME drives because of the PCI-e lanes.

Someone just announced an AM4 ITX motherboard today.

Do you really need Blu Ray? Can always get a USB one.

Ryzen doesn't like 4 sticks if you want them to run about 2133mhz, not sure if they worked that out yet.

Wendell reviewed the ITX board, no difference between B350 and X370
 

thx. Ill run it tomorrow and let you know how it goes. 

Do not wanna sound like a jackass, but it appears most people here have no idea what the hell they are talking about. I make a living writing about eSports and CS is one of my main focus, so it irks me a bit to see so much wrong information in this debate. Anyways, it is kennYS and its not even close.

You see in comparison JW has been surrounded by better talent for a much longer time. To really understand who is better, you need to compare their peak and then their average. revealing the true level and potential. Seeing how kennyS was kicked from VG in the early days and had to carry games for CM and then moved to have the best peak of any AWPer in history (yes history) of csgo with Titan and then went on to win majors before AWP changes crippled him, his situation is clearly far harder than JW's yet his individual stats and achievements are superior.

Don't get me wrong Jesper is also a great sniper, but his peak was never anywhere near that of kennyS, nor did he have to go through similar carry phases as KennYS. its a done debate 

The sound leak is pretty large honestly. But I mean that's what you get for open back headphones. 

The virtual 7.1 on the void is pretty good, I can tell the difference between the sound modes, on the steelseries not so much.
 

You could save some cash and grab the AD700X as it's pretty much (maybe even the same) headphone you find on the open Audio Technica headsets. With the money saved you could either buy a cheap microphone like the Sony ECMCS3 and clip it to your headphone cable and pocket the extra cash for something else or you could buy a USB desk microphone for a bit more like an Auna Mic900B or a Audio Technica AT2020USB.
 
feck

My vote definitely goes towards the Audio-Technica. Don't limit yourself to just gaming headsets though, you can always get any quality headphone you want and just add an Antlion Modmic to it! Most "Gamer" branded headsets are all just marketing flair, mostly they're just PoS sold at ridiculously high prices =P

I was talking about the audio quality for the headphone part, not the mic.

a lot of headphones are also boompro mic compatible so you wouldn't need an extra cable : https://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-BoomPro-Gaming-Headset-Headphone/dp/B00BJ17WKK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469781719&sr=8-1&keywords=boompro

Dvor-ja-k is how I pronounce it. Ja as in Jacques.

I rmemeber when I used to make CSGO montages, then did mlg montages and it blew up

I'm pretty sure this is where this is where this should go. I just made a little montage that I'm pretty proud of. Thought I'd share it  
 
 

Please don't do that. If you are looking for legitimate reccomendations don't say "I don't want this because I'm a fanboy". Anyway. If you are on a really tight budget I would look at the 860k. Don't bother with the 6300. Get a Skylake i3 6100 instead. It might be worth waiting for zen on the low end but we really don't know yet. I'd say just buy the best you can now.
