  1. Alright I will definitely check them out, any other places you can think of?
  2. Yeah sorry for not mentioning, but I do live in the US.
  3. I have a black and red themed build, and I was looking to buy some cable extensions for it. I would like to find the best cables I can get for a low price. I have heard of places like cablemod, but just wanted to know if you guys have any suggestions for any other places that I could get some cables, and which place would be the best bang for my buck. Thanks in advance.
  4. I have recently built my PC, and I would like to upgrade my current monitor. It is an old samsung that doesn't even run 1080p. I have a GTX 1070 so I would like to get the best possible display for it at or under $120 US. I will use it for gaming so at least 1080p with 60hz and as small of a response time as I can get for the money.
  5. I have an i5 6600k and an asrock fatal1ty z170 k4 motherboard. I have gotten the cpu to oc to a stable 4.4ghz when I use a fixed voltage of 1.275v. I want to run it as a 24/7 oc though, and I don't want to be sending 1.275v to it all the time. There is only the fixed and offset settings in the bios, and everytime I run the offset in any mode the windows crashes when I boot. Whenever I go back to the fixed voltage, it runs just fine. Is there any way to oc the cpu with an offset voltage setting to reduce the amount of volts sent to the cpu when it isn't under load, and if so how would I do this? Thank you in advance.
  6. I have an i5 6600k that I was able to get to a stable 4.4 ghz oc when I used a fixed 1.275 volts in the bios. I don't want to force this voltage to the cpu all the time though, and I can't figure out the offset mode in the bios. Every time I choose offset mode for the voltage, Windows tells me my PC was unable to start, but when I go back to the fixed 1.275 volts it works just fine. Is there any way I can get the voltage to scale with the frequency so that I am not sending the CPU a ton of volts all the time?
  7. Could you not fit in a 1060 instead of the 1050ti.

  9. This will give you probably the most bang for your buck and still stay black and orange. It is also overclockable and the cooler will be plenty enough to handle an OC. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/knP9tJ
  10. I would recommend the 6600k if it will fit into your budget because being able to overclock will always help.
  11. SLI is for Nvidia cards for AMD like your RX 480 you need a board that supports cross fire. So the A Pro board will be all you need.
  12. Or a 6gb of the 1060 or fit a 1070 in because I'm building a rig for about $1000 and I'm putting a 6600k and 1070 in so with more money a 1070 would be very doable.
  13. Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will definitely look into them.
