  1. what type of "casual games" do you plan to play? honestly if you aren't going to be doing a lot of gaming I wouldn't bother, but that is just me. I have it since I am a heavy gamer with a 34" 4k curved display so I want the best, BUT that being said if I wasn't going to be playing the crap out of games I wouldn't have gotten the g-sync model.
  2. I honestly half expected it to say "just kidding" at the end of the video...but no...it actually exists
  3. Unless you plan on daisy chaining a bunch of ups or spending a fortune on a enterprise grade ups you are better off with a reasonable ups and a tiny generator. 5hrs is A LOT of time for a battery to run a desktop!!!!
  4. Just be aware that your plan might have to change as you build. I had full schematics for my build and all but when it came time to install, there were slight clearance issues that I just could not have known about until actually doing the build. Clearance issues as in 1mm-2mm changing the entire setup! But that being said, so long as you take a step back you can always find a solution. As far as your design, yes in theory it will work perfectly fine, don't discount doing a combination reservoir and pump combo, saves a lot of work and would cut out that entire bottom half of the build reducing the work.
  5. Only reason to use external is if you plan on carrying huge file sizes around frequently. Otherwise a large usb stick and internal hdd is the way to go.
  6. I have the Asus 34" Curved Gsync ROG monitor and you don't notice it, but that is the point. I can definitely tell the difference compared to a 34" flat screen in front of me. I am not a huge advocate for curved screens, but for large monitors it actually is really nice. Just be aware that it is something you won't conscientiously notice while using it, but will easily see the difference side by side. It absolutely makes gaming more immersive!

    The Time

    sooooo yeah....holy shit!
  8. ummm, for the love of god yes upgrade that bad boy! lol Although if you can get a good enough deal on a 1070, don't discount them as a bad deal. Or a 480 for that matter, have been seeing those REALLY cheap a lot of places on flash sales and such.
  9. My brother is a full time builder and he has said they are...not his favorite lol But even when I was a noob I could figure out ASUS bios, and the big thing is that with a budget rig you really won't be messing with bios much anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about it. To be clear, the gigabyte ones did work well from what he said, he just hated using it.
  10. He is talking about upgrade potential, so the AM4 socket is a good bet. yes it costs more, but he can either spend a little more for the r5 1400 or wait and save to maintain that upgrade potential. That was my point.
  11. adendum, IF you are deadset on intel for some reason, still try to find a board with built in wifi to save that money and put it toward a octane drive to speed up your hdd. but i would still say go ryzen to save the money and still have amazing performance.
  12. Honestly no reason at all to go with intel for that price. the r7 1700 is a pretty good deal and you save on the mobo too. you can also save about $70 getting your windows off www.kinguin.net and also if you get a decent ryzen board you night not even have to buy the wireless adapter because a lot of them come built in now. Also look around some more on the ssd, have 2 of those exact ones and i only paid $150 each
  13. Honestly with how intel needs to put on a strong front for AMD for the next gen, MIGHT get another gen out of 1151 but they could scrap it for a new platform to try and stomp amd. Honestly, would go amd with how cheap the r5 lineup is. Not a amd fanboy btw, my rig is 1151 but I have no plan to upgrade.
