    DGPC got a reaction from aidebob in Skyrim modding problem   
    Modding Skyrim is an art. If you want to do it with stability, you gotta slowly add more and more mods to your collection instead of dumping them all in at once ex: Installing tweaks on a jailbroken iphone has a similar argument to it.  This makes these things much easier to troubleshoot but with enough effort (and a lot of google), you can probably still find the problem.

    Oh I haven't used the installer before I'm clueless haha the safe bet would be to flash your old ROM and try and do it manually to make sure everything is still working

    Uh, you do realize you have two coolers in there right? And that's WITHOUT a k series CPU? (holy crap I didn't even notice). That's insane! You only need aftermarket cooling if you're overclocking! Also, what's with the case fans? Get the case that has the fans you want stock. It keeps you from wasting your money, same with that thermal paste. Also, there's almost never a reason to get Windows Pro versus the regular version, and why 7? 8 is better in every practical way. Only the UI is different, and different isn't bad, just different. The WD Black drive could easily be swapped for a larger 3TB Seagate Barracuda drive with the same performance specs and yet still costs less. You're paying a SHITLOAD for that motherboard. You really don't need something like that unless you do OC competitions, nitrogen cooling, and the like. You'll never make use of its featureset. You can make do with a $125 Mobo.
     
    I don't know. It really just looks like you're going for flashy parts rather than sticking to price to performance. You could get a better system if you did. Is this strictly for gaming? If so, then an i5-4690k with dual GTX 970s in SLI would be the way to go and cheaper than this. Is this for productivity? You could do an x99 build for this cash and still hit good performance. Really, it just seems like you're spending lots of money on aesthetics and personal preference. If you're fine with that, then that's okay, but really this is more like a $1300 build with $500 in bling, rather than an $1800 build.

    The only ones that looked good that are ips and not waaay over budget. 
     
    I would go over 20 and get the AOC if I were you. IPS is really nice. And that might be a lot over budget because I forgot canadian pricing...100 is nothing there...nothing for a monitor.

    DGPC got a reaction from wng_kingsley7 in Bertha 2.0 (Modded Prodigy with 520MM of radiator)   
    Come on an adventure   This is my first go at watercooling and I don't think I'm ever going back to using air! Here we have Bertha 2.0 (after getting bored with Bertha 1.0 of course). Composed of a modded prodigy with a shroud (obviously not an idea I saw watching SingularityComputers  :P ), 520mm of radiator and some cable sleeving. More below.


    Cable Management in a Prodigy WITH tubes everywhere = worst thing ever. Must say, it wasn't a half bad job. I'm still going to have nightmares about it. Good thing I'm not posting a pic of behind the GPU!
     

    A bit more detail on the parts:
     
    Case parts:
    Bitfenix prodigy (Modded front panel) + shroud (installed by yours truly) + Modded Power button + Hole in the bottom (to fit a radiator) All this done with a trusty dremel.
    2 Corsair SP120 fans for intake and 2 NB fans up top for exhaust (Notice how the rings are nice and green)
    Some Bitfenix presleeved extenders (Hate all you want, that took effort to manage in the back since these things gotta attach to the original cables)
     
    PC parts:
    CPU: 4770K
    Mobo: ASUS Z87I-Deluxe (took a lot of patience to get one of these)
    RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance (Couldn't find the vengeance pro GOLD)
    SSD: 128GB Samsung 840 PRO (wish I could get one of those evos)
    HDD: 750GB WD Caviar black
    GPU: EVGA GTX 780 (bow chicka wow wow)
    PSU: Corsair AX860
     
    Watercooling parts:
    Resevoir: Swiftech micro res
    Pump+CPU Block: Swiftech Apogee drive II (Believe me, you need to save as much space as possible in there)
    GPU waterblock: EK titan something or other
    Radiator(s): 240MM and 280MM black ice stealth (520 in a prodigy WOOT WOOT :D )
    Fittings: Monsoon free center compression fittings (gold to match the mobo of course)
    Tubing: Primochill advanced LRT Atomic UV green (I even used the included Sysprep, I'll keep this spot updated with any plasticizer issues I hope to not have) I also got 2 bitspower 90 degree fittings that I like to ignore
    Coolent: Primochill Ice intensified (UV Brite Green)

    The reason why your asking the question is because the purpose of the PC hasn't been decided. If you're going to build a PC for you or someone else, you better know what its meant for because as you've realized, it can completely alter the build. Figure out what this PC will be used for and you'll answer your own question.

    780Ti wouldn't be a bad buy considering you want this to last 4 years. Remember, whether you upgrade or not, watercooling is an investment of its own which requires care and maintenance (unless you were talking about closed loop ) Larger power supply is probably a good idea.
