The arcts series have better microphones I believe,
 
Not sure how much better the Arctis 5 is vs the Arctis "One" and 3 for the money.
 
Or find a used Arctis 7 wired or wireless, I'm never going back to a wired headset.

I've never really liked corsair's headsets, they always felt cheap to me. I recently got a G Pro X from logitech, great headset and it has really good audio. The X version is a little bit more expensive and has a better mic, but the normal G Pro has the same speakers in the headset, it's 888nok on the website you linked

I've got a node 202 and using the PSU it came with.
 
It blew up and killed my GPU within a month of turning it on.
 
However, they replaced it and bought a new GPU for me for free.
 
And it's been working for about 3 years without any problems now.
 
Overall I'd recommend it. - Having one blow was probably just highly unlucky for me.
 
Small sample sizes and all that.

No, Coffee Lake will require a Z370 motherboard.

Yeah not cool to increase your parents bills without permission

generally mining is done 24/7 on a dedicated mining machine. if this is your main PCand will be using it in any other capacity, forget about mining. like the others have said if you dont pay for your own electricity, be prepared to explain the extra $100-$200 a month on their power bill

Why not both?

on this particular case, no.
however you can get adapters to convert the 5.25in drive bays into 3.5in HDD bays, which should give you 2 additional drives.
 
or velcro tape them to the floor of the case

Or you could go with the Ryzen + 1070? If i was you i'd go for 1440p 60Hz though, but hey that's just me. If you're not opt-ing for 1440p you could easily save a couple of hundred bucks for 1080p 60Hz, and probably the more reasonable choice. I don't see why you should have a 1070 + a 1080p 60Hz monitor as @RadiatingLight seems to have suggested though. If you're going with a ryzen + 1070 (1440p) or 580 (1080p) i'd run with his build though, looks great to me ^^

Good stuff. A $50 price cut for the 1700X makes it a really good competitor to the 7700K (price wise) and the 1700 is now $10 cheaper as well. Not much, but still nice. Lowers the barrier to 8-core goodness just a bit more. Now with the top-dog 1800X at $469 AMD has a really solid line-up, though the 1800X could still be cheaper to better fit in with the other two.

check out the new Phanteks Shift!  that thing is awesome (ITX only).

I would go with NZXT S340 Elite, very sleek and good looking case, especially the white one

No need for Z270 Motherboard with locked i5, R5 would also be better to buy. Try to push for an RX 570 also, much better value than the 1050ti. 

Corsair's K65/K70. the non-RGB versions are pretty cheap nowadays!

no, get a ryzen 1400, avoid FX CPUs. 

okay ill look into that
 

Not true.

That said, ^ will prevent you from getting any updates, which is insecure and I highly suggest you don't do it.

Yes, you are right. I realized that the extension kit was unnecessary. The four LED strips that came with the HUE+ were enough for my case. I ran the two AER RGB fans through one channel and the four LED strips through the other channel.
I sold the extension kit on eBay for $18, which is good because I bought it for $20.
Thanks for your reply!

I'll experiment later today and report if anything happens.

But how will a pregnant gamer know if her water broke or if the laptop is leaking? 

*looks at price*  *walks away*

I strongly encourage you to ditch the HDD for now and go with an SSD if you're gonna upgrade later. An SSD for a boot drive is sooo good you will not regret it

Wouldn't it have to be plugged into the motherboards IO for it to even start using integrated graphics?

Why? Unless you're doing something that needs lots of data transfer, a good SATA SSD will work perfectly fine.
