Background:
I'm an IT manager at a private company which produces audio\video solutions world wide. the company's owners son asked me to build him a PC for private use, which of course will be fully payed by the company. he of course did not neglect to mention there are (almost) no financial boundaries, though he did cheap out a bit on some components for some reason (cpu cooler).
 
Components:
 
Processor: i7 6700K
Mobo: Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x8GB DDR4 3000 CL15
GPU: EVGA GTX980 Ti ACX 2.0 SC 6GB
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO Series 500GB
HDD: Western Digital Black 4TB
PSU:  Seasonic Gold X-750 Fully modular
CPU cooler: Corsair H60
Case: Fracal Design Define R5
BR player: LG WH16NS40
 
 
so, in short, pic time.
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
After working to perfect this masterpiece for over 3 hours, the dude comes in, looks at the art piece I just constructed, says "nice. does it have office installed?".
Anyways.. I had fun building the thing.

I highly doubt the CPU block came pre-applied with thermal paste ON THE STICKER..

Thanks buddy, good answer.
Actually I have a pair of 950's at my disposal, so that's what triggered the idea, obviously buying 2 low end cards to replace my 660ti isn't a smart move, and I'm more likely to replace it in the near future with a 970\980. 

It is never worth running two low end cards in sli. There is never a guarantee of sli profiles being available for games, and even if a game supports it, there's no guarantee of how well it will scale. Not to mention the extra heat and power consumption.
That said, I'm pretty sure it would out perform a 660 ti in a game with good enough scaling. Again though, you'd be better off saving up for a better card rather than running two low end cards.
Hell, even gtx 960s have a hard time beating a single 970 in a lot of games. Sli doesn't make sense until you get to the 970

Actually mine is Common Sense 2015...

It says "Win 8 RTM Professional Retail"

Now only if they'd release an RGB version.

I bought this keyboard for a friend and man I really dislike MX Reds,there so light that by just lightly touching a key it would actuate(then again I find MX Blues to be too light ! )but man when I played a game with it,it felted really nice !
 
Overhaul I too recommend this keyboard for gaming but not really for typing unless you're really precise about your key strokes ^^ (i'm not )
 
And great review by the way !!  

Just showing off here guys..
 

 

LOL you guys cracked me up  :lol:

Wanted to give a shout-out to WASD keyboards for their amazing customer service.
I wanted to order a set of red WASD keys with arrows printed on them instead of letters, but there was no option on their site to add arrows. I sent them a message about it, and to my amazement got a reply no more than 30 minutes later saying they've added the option to choose "add arrows" to the WASD set. they actually added a check-box under the item options.. amazing..
Then, I wanted to ask them to make the arrows on my keys only triangles, without the line, sent a message, was replied in like 5 minutes "no problem". 
This my friends, is textbook customer service. 
 
(I am in no way connected to WASD-keyboards, this is just me being nice )

You mean the K65 Compact? The K65 is a full size keyboard.
 
EDIT: I don't know what I was thinking. Also, this.

I just got me a corsair K65 keyboard and wanted to write a mini review on it, sort of a "what to expect when buying the Corsair K65".
So, here it goes..
 
The corsair K65 is a 10-keyless fully mechanical keyboard, which features all cherry mx red switches. you can search for the tech specs of it obviously but I want to describe it coming from a first experience with a mechanical keyboard.
 
 
The keys\switches:
Cherry mx red switches are the "lightest" ones of the bunch, they require very little pressure in order to actuate, and they do feel very light and fluffy.
The keycaps are raised and the board is missing that generic key-plate meaning the keys seem "naked"' which is a very refreshing and nice to look at feature. also, as a plus, this means cleaning the keyboard is now very easy.
It will take some time to get used to these switches though, I often find myself thinking I didn't press a certain key, then pressing it again in order to correct myself, only to realize I did press it in the first place, this is all due to the high actuation point, you don't need to press the keys all the way down in order to get the output.
 

                                                                                                                        
The noise:
Coming from a very silent Microsoft BT keyboard, this keyboard seems very noisy to me, but it also is supposed to be the quietest of the bunch. ordering sound dampening o-rings from WASD-keyboards or ebay is supposed to make it quieter, I'll update as soon as I receive them.
 
 
                                                                                                                        
The size: The Corsair K65 is a 10-keyless board, which means it's missing the numpad. this can be a pro and a con, I mostly see it as a positive attribute. if you lack space on your desk, or just want a very nice and minimalist board, this one is definitely for you.
I did seem to miss the numpad's enter key, but that is quite negligible.
Other than the lack of a numpad, the K65 is fully sized, not featuring any funny awkward down sized random keys.
 

                                                                                                                        
The built quality: Well I really don't think I can say this enough: Corsair is, in my opinion, one of the best peripherals manufacturer quality wise. this board is beautifully constructed, gunmetal grey anodized aluminum chassis, very rugged and relatively heavy, it's built like a tank and looks like it should receive some sort of "best looking keyboard" award.
 

                                                                                                                        
the cord: The K65 incorporates a detachable braided cord, which is routed to the keyboard via a cable management route, and connects to the board via mini-usb. very useful if traveling, or if you're like me, for sometimes putting it in the drawer when needing the extra desk space.
It could have been a little longer to enable better cable routing through the desk though.
 

                                                                                                                        
   Final thoughts:
 
After years of switching between peripherals, mostly mice but also keyboards, I came to a conclusion that if it takes a little time to get used to, it mostly means it's special rather than bad. yes, if you buy a generic microsoft\any other brand keyboard, you'll get to typing\gaming in no time. but this thing, is a little more than that. it requires you to get to know it, to put your hands on it and navigate it, feel it, look at it. it's indeed special.
In my honest opinion, if you're looking for a 10-keyless mechanical keyboard, you simply can't go wrong with an aluminum chassis, cherry mx-red fully mechanical, detachable cord, premium quality board as the K65.
 
Full disclosure:
I am a serious Corsair fan.
 

K65 is the more recent version, right? I'd get that, almost for that reason alone but I also hate wrist rests and it doesn't hurt to save 30 bucks.

With everything said in this thread so far, I see no reason to go for the K60 over the K65.

I'll throw in another vote for K65. Way better board.

freaking amazing :)

M65 user here. After the update, no problems whatsoever. Great mouse, buttons click well and perfect for fps games (if you like a heavy mouse). I've had none of the problems you've stated above with input lag and floaty pointer, and would recommend it whole-heartedly.
 
Use it on a MM200 compact mouse mat and have never had any problems accuracy wise.
 
It also feels like it'd survive a bomb.

That's what I'm trying to find out, the logic behind the hate. 
You are fairly on the exact same wave length as me, wish there were more like you   .

From the good old days :)

Actually crying right now. Thanks for your support guys. 
 
I've missed my baby.

Made it a while ago and had to share :) it's from the good old days when the livestream took place at Linus's kitchen at night
