This is mine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025009 Its an excellent monitor and 144hrz game play is a game changer (pun intended). Seriously though any gaming below about 90fps sucks now, I will probably never buy a monitor that is stuck at 60hrz now that i have been spoiled.

have an x61 as well, your temps look good... I let my ASUS mobo OC the cpu for me, I think it set the voltage around 1.4v and im still getting great temps, never above 50c... Good luck, Fractal Designs Venturi Fans will cut the noise in half BTW, one of the best upgrades i've done yet

Fractal Design S Phanteks P400S (non windowed) Corsair 760T (this is windowed though)

huh well thats interesting...

Battlefield 5 Dark Souls 3

310$ MSI Z97 PC Mate ATX LGA1150 MoBo i5 4690K Skylake CPU's are DDR4 so no go there... Do you have an aftermarket cooler? If not, Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo is a very good cheap cooler (usually 20-30$) you can do some overclocking on. If you go cheap on MoBo's you usually start losing out on features like built in sound cards, built in wifi, slightly less quality components. That MSI mobo I picked should do you good though.

For me- Price to a point, I'm not going to spend some obscene amount, the 980ti prices right now is very do-able. No feature in particular, it will come down to more performance/power consumption/heat output. I'm a bit of an Nvidia fan boy but I'm very happy with my R9 390. With that said I hope AMD does a bit of ass kicking when it comes time, to get Nvidia back on their toes. That kind of competition makes the best products for us. I hope this is true, especially the Tweet at the end of the article... http://overclock3d.net/articles/gpu_displays/amd_polaris_10_engineering_sample_pictured/1

Corsair fans are probably your best bet then if you want LED ones, idk how quiet they are going to be though... Yea that's why i was confused on the temp. Don't know what temp AMD does it at but my i7 6700k thermal throttles at 100-105c, I'm guessing AMD does the same.

hybrid is going to run cooler and quieter...

For 200$ I'd go with a Phanteks P400S case ( the S series is sound dampened), paired with the proper Fractal Designs Venturi fans, and it should be wicked quiet at that point. Noctua makes great fans as well, I'm just super happy with the Fractal Design's fans that I'm running.

Fractal Design Venturi series fans, have two and they are wicked awesome... Isn't your CPU fried after hitting 200c???

Your making this hard lol. There are a ton of great choices, I went with my Asus because I've had a great experience with their products. MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte, all good too though. Make a list of features you definitely need on the MoBo, then a second one with want, need a price range too...

Newegg Inside budget, comes with World of Tanks game as of 3/24/16, 4/5 egg review score...

RAT5 from MadCatz (Newegg), little over budget, but mine has lasted through some pretty angry scenarios due to CSGO and other maddening games. Great mouse, very adjustable to your preference.
