  1. Doubt they'll do anything as you have accepted the trade and the guy switched the gun in his inventory from FN to FT without you realising.
  2. Here is an explaination of what is going on guys, it's not just PCMR https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3bxduw/why_was_riama_along_with_a_number_of_other_large/
  3. I defo don't regret switching to Deathadder even though G502 was a great mouse.
  4. It's a good all around mouse for gaming, except I find it to be less than ideal in FPS games. Due to me mainly playing CSGO I switched from it to the Deathadder.
  5. There is massive RAM clearance issues, as my Kingston Beasts have quiet tall heat spreaders, I couldn't mount any of my RAM. Then I decided to take all the fans off and set them up so the fan in the middle pulls the air in from the right and the fan on the left of the cooler pushes it out the case along with the Corsair fan at the back of the case. Don't know if my cooling set up makes sense but it's the only way I could install RAM.
  6. Before, heard the ones with the old controller are decent.
  7. Yea I'm really pleased with the Powercolor card even though it's huge . The SSD is alright for me but yea I heard some bad stuff about it. It boots up my computer fast enough and just using the computer is miles faster than a regular HDD. But yea an upgrade is due for the SSD. Microphone is Samson C01U. It's around 50 quid and it's good quality for teamspeak and that kind of stuff.
  8. Hey guys, I have finally managed to build a PC that I'm happy with. For the past few years I've been running my components in an old case from my first prebuilt pc, and they were suffocating due to lack of proper cooling. So after saving up a bit and using some of my 18th birthday money I decided to put together a proper system with proper cooling. So firstly the parts are: CPU - Intel Core i5 4690k I always wanted to overclock my CPU therefore I went with an unlocked i5. It has all the performance I need for a decent price. I wanted a 4790k but decided I don't really need it so in the end I went with the i5 Motherboard - ASUS Maximus VII Ranger The only explanation I really have for choosing this motherboard over other billion Z97 ones out there is since I was like 12 I always wanted an ROG motherboard with high end features like a diagnostic LED and Start button. I don't really need some of those features but my 12 year old self called out to me and told me to get it. It also has all the features I need. CPU Cooler - be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 It's extremely quiet, looks sexy and fits so why not. I was originally going to get a Corsair H110i GTX but after looking at other peoples builds i realied I really don't like the look of the tubing that comes with AIO watercoolers, it kinda just awkwardly bends over your RAM or just looks like it doesn't belong there. So for now I went with be quiet! until I save up enough for custom watercooling, which again I don't need but I would want to try it. GPU - Powercolor R9 290 PCS+ Got an open boxed deal on it from overclockers.co.uk few months ago for £180 so I had to get it. It's performance is more than sufficient for me for now and I will probably think about getting the GTX 980Ti when I upgrade to a higher resolution. Case - Fractal Design Define R5 I like the simplistic look of this case and I've heard good opinions about it. I've also built a system for a friend in the R4 and found it easy to build in so I went with the windowed R5. PSU - Corsair RM550 I took it from my previous system. I like the zero fan mode and the wattage is sufficient for me. If I need a higher wattage PSU I will probably still stick with the RM series. Storage - Kingston SSDnow 300 128GB, 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 1TB WD Green The SSD is from my previous system and I got it on a sale somewhere for 30 quid. I'm happy with it for now but I probably will try to go with an M.2 SSD when I can afford one. 1TB Barracuda is a 6 year old drive from my prebuilt system. It's still spinning so I keep my movies on it. I bought a new Barracuda for this system to keep my games and other files on it as my WD Green was full as well as it's ridiculously slow... LEDS - NZXT White Sleeved LED Kit 2M When I get paid this time I'm planning to go with a CableMod kit of sleeved Red/Black cables to replace this PSU's stiff and horrible cables. PERIPHERALS Mouse - Razer Deathadder Chroma Keyboard - Corsair K70 RGB (Cherry MX Brown) Bday present from my girlfriend. Prefer the Blue switches from my previous BlackWidow but overall I like the build quality of the K70, as well as the RBG backlight Headphones - audio-technica M50x, Sennheiser IE80 for gaming and outdoor use as I find M50x's are not bassy enough for some games. Microphone - Samson C01U
  9. I don't really see a reason for going with a 980 for 1080p unless you really like your filters maxed out. I don't think it is worth the price difference.
  10. I believe he's refering to system RAM, and if so then no 8GB will not bottleneck it when it comes to gaming cause I've never seen a game use more than 6GB. If you take video rendering into account then yea more RAM would always be better up to a certain point.
  11. Well if you have 3 Titan X's then 5960x will be the bottleneck as jayztwocents stated in one of his videos
  12. Try running GTA V on a Core 2 Duo in Ultra then... CPU's do make a difference, but beyond a modern quad core the difference is usually tiny and not worth the price.
  13. Doesn't matter if they're on the same card. Both ways will work
  14. Nope, you can run your 144hz one at 144hz and the other two at 60hz simultaneously
