Hi guys,
 
Just finished building my desk PC. The shape of the desk is inspired by the one Linus built.
 
I am not a professional carpenter or anything, just wanted to do this for me
 
The computer parts themselves are not new, but in time the GPU will be upgraded and water cooling will be added.
 
- i5-4670
- Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
- 2x4GB HyperX Genesis 1600mhz DDR3 Ram
- Sapphire Dual X HD7970 3gb OC
- Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB
- 2x AD Link 120GB SSD's, got the pretty cheap, just have a few games installed on them
- Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo with SP120 Quiet edition
- EVGA 750 P2 Platinum (originally a Be Quiet Straight Power 700w Gold, but failed 3 times, yes i'm that unlucky)
- 2x AF120 and 1x SP120 Quiet edition

I'm open to constructive criticism
 
Hope you enjoy

Well, last night I was on the PC for 4 hours, the Led's didn't annoy me. They are not as bright as they look on the photos though. I'll take photos with my actual camera and not my phone, it will look better. 
Also, there are 2 more intake fans in the front, where my legs are, air circulation is pretty good. Temps are excellent. Thanks for your comments! ?

you've been through psu hell and yet I'm complaining because my PSU doesn't have two 8pins so I can get 1070 FTW haha
nice job though. 
 
 

It looks great.
But desk like that, deservs build with water cooling in it

Awesome looking build man.  
3 times? how is literally everything in there not dead
 
 

Hey guys,
 
Sorry for not replying to the thread, I was not getting any notifications.
I found a new favorite, the Gamerock 1070 as Pohernori suggested!
I will wait until the end of the month and if I am skeptical I will come back to you guys!  

Palit Gamerock. Support will probably just be subpar though.

At full price, 1070. The 980Ti should be substantially cheaper now, especially used. For comparison, I recently got a new 1070 for £390 and a new 980Ti for £300 as they were being cleared. The 1070 is slightly faster than 980Ti overall, but does gain you the new tech and lower power consumption.

Hi guys,
I'm looking to upgrade my Sapphire 7970 Dual x. I'm still rocking 1080p, the 7970 is doing quite fine, but it's starting to show its age. 
FYI, I have an i5-4670k on a Z87-D3HP.
Now, I've narrowed it down to the 980ti, 1070 and FuryX, All 3 of them are around the 450 euro mark(including shipping).
As games are becomig more demanding, I think that none of the above cards are "overkill" for 1080p, and I like a bit of future-proofing.
Now, do you think that thr 4GB vram of the fury be a bottleneck? Since HBM is more efficient on higher resolutions(correct me if i am wrong).
The 6GB/8GB of the 980ti/1070 is enough i believe, but what are your thoughts between the 2?

Help me decide between the 3 please, unless there's another card that you believe it suits me better!
Thanks,
AJ.
 
PS: Not really related to the above, but I'm also moving my pc into a computer desk, similar to the one Linus is currently building, let me know what you think of it(see attached photo)

1070~980ti most of the time with the 980ti sometimes pulling away if the game favors cores over clock but it is a back and forth fight
 
Fury x is generally just weaker minus a couple scenarios
 
If it where me I'd pick the 1070 if pricing is reasonable or the 980ti if you can find a steal on its price (300ish dollars has been seen)
 

The only reason to get a Fury X is if you're also gonna get a 1440p 144Hz IPS Freesync monitor and then you'll be saving $200 in comparison (so that you end up paying less for the wonders of adaptive Sync).
 
Also consider an R9 Fury for the price of a GTX 1060 6G

Furies perform closer to 1070s than 1060s so the price is really good on this one.

I suspect they're all of a piece. The main concern should be the price, and possibly the manufacturer's warranty.
 
Don't discount the reference 1070, by the way. It's pretty good.

Avoid single fan card, choose a brand and color you like,

They all perform the same. I guess like Morgan said better check the warranty.

How about something like this(intel cpu, amd gpu):

I know you said no AMD, but just think about it. 8320/50 AMD are very good cpu's
You can even go with this GPU: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-112210140g
Or if you wanna stick with nvidia: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx770dc2oc2gd5

Thank you all for your replies. Sorry i did not respond earlier, we had a power outage last night(hope my pc is ok ). I think i will go with the FiiO E10. It just seems like the best solution to me. 
 
Thank you all again.
 
PS: I don't know who to choose for best answer. 3 of you guys suggested this...

Everything seems good, but you might want to look at some corsair psus

It all looks good! Na to xairesai :D

And welcome to the forums!

Looks solid. Enjoy your build.
