no, not much at least, it's more a thing for MMO players or photo/video/3d editing

they are for extra commands, example : you are gaming and you want one button for a combo attack or you do 3d models and want a specific button to a specific tool, they can be very handy but too many is just overkill

see if the programs you are going to use supports the graphics-card

i would go with the RM ( i have it ) it's very silent PSU and the cables are great ( the look awesome ) then i don't think it will fail in a good period of time

down, then it will suck up cold air rather then sucking down hot air

it's sounds more like you got something in your eye, are you allergic or was it dust or any other particles in the air? ( it's probable not the TV and it's nothing wrong with your eyes )

lucky you don't have a yottabyte cause that ALOT it's 1024 which is a trillion terabytes!

thats not huge... THATS A INSANELY GIGANTIC FILE OF DATA!

Nope and i don't planning to but i have big, BIG, more like HUGE games

i have a 180GB SSD and a 500GB HHD and i haven't used the HHD at all and i have about 100GB free on the SSD!

Wouldn't a NAS be better for backups? ( a PC with 32 Tera byte of memory will be SUPER HEAVY and you might need a crane...

i'm really sorry if you think i am a terrible person for recommend SLI cards but if you didn't know SLI cards can make more performance per money then some a single card can... and once again you can't just take latency or just clock if your clock is faster then the max latency is lower and cause it's ram then the latency is VERY low so extra clock speed is better mabe not in games cause the game would bottleneck the ram cause extra clock speed is extra bandwidth, but in other applications, i mention RAM-disk that turns the RAM-memory to a ultra fast SSD which you CAN have as a ultra fast game cache where your whole game could be in and imagine the loading screens go away, and there for it could be useful for gaming and there comes the extra ram in too, but of course i'll get your argument about the latency is more important cause without good latency you won't get good performance but have in mind that i've never heard someone be sad about having too much RAM latency when buying memory from a big and trusted memory-company. i'm sorry if i pissed you or any other off, hope this is a explanation.

i thing about windows 8... if you do decide to buy windows 8 and then upgrade to windows 8.1 the just a thing consider is that many, many have been having problems on upgrading and even my dad have ( on normal desktops too ) and the problem to me seems that it just refuse to download ( i haven't tried yet downloading but as i said my dad did on his desktop ) so you might want to consider just buying windows 8.1 right of the shelf if it just cost a buck or two more.

well he did want to play star citizen then 16 GB is to prefer AND also that kingston is pretty cheap and there isn't much extra cost between 1600MHz and 2133MHz, right? flat cables make him able to choose a nice-looking but cheap-crapy chassi and still have nice cable management,AND the fan is SUPER QUIET! he never said i don't want SLI cards, if he is one of those ( like my self ) that want a nice-looking build and not only performance then SLI cards is the best thing ever AND I said OR 780 so please don't say that i don't know hardware stuff when you haven't thought why i said what i said.

well if he don't uses all the 16 GB of RAM then he could make it to a RAM disk, a SSD on the RAM-memory. It's faster then a PCI-E SSD and if he does want a RAM-Disk then the extra speed does make a big change
