    SaintERosa got a reaction from rnhbs in Should I get a watercooled cpu cooler?   
    It looks like it wouldn't be hard to optimize. Honestly from my experience I have to re route cables at least twice to get it how I like.

    I have a pair of $60 Razors she uses so I figured she'd like it. 
     
    I finished the build today, it has the 1050ti until I get the RX 580 in the mail and confirm it works (used off eBay). Otherwise it's gaming well so far, in fact I'm on it right now, testing it on Overwatch and seeing any issues. So far nothing noteworthy. The build was surprisingly easy in fact it was a lot less hassle than when I made my full ATX tower in my Obsidian 750D. I am going to upload a video of it but my sister wasn't too thrilled after the unboxing of the parts lol

    To be honest this isn't always the case lol I could have looked up the prices but yeah I'd go for the 2600 in this case.

    Try getting a Ryzen 1600, it's cheaper and barely 10% slower than the 2600. If anything even a pretty new Intel i3 won't bottleneck you.

    If your going for a Motherboard that has 4 slots for RAM then I'd go the 2x4 route for better performance over a single 8gb RAM stick at the same speed. For gaming you won't really need more than 16gb which is also good for even graphic design and video encoding at the lesser half of RAM demand, to be fair 4x4 would perform better than 2x8 or 1x16 for when you decide to upgrade (16gb is plenty for gaming and I'd say go one step up in RAM speeds from the default end of speeds say ddr4 at 2400MHz).
    Next I would recommend a $60 1tb HDD if you don't have one already to pull with a 7200rpm (a hybrid drive may be found for similiar prices, like Western Digital which I've never had issues with)
    Also I would say stay with the stock fans and cooler to see your performance perhaps you will like what you got going on.
    Have you considered getting a Zotac GTX 1080 mini? Its practically the same price as a EVGA 1070 and is better than a 1070ti for about $560-600USD, from Amazon.
    Also if you don't care about looks (which I don't aside from my case) you can save in that department with your RAM (I don't mind green sticks).
     
    So all in all my recommendations if they apply in Canada as reasonable:
    1. Two 4gb RAM sticks at 2400MHz
    2. Stock Fans/Cooler (upgrade of necessary)
    3. Zotac GTX 1080 (mini)
    4. 1TB WD 7200RPM HDD (64mb cache or more)
    5. Enermax PSUs
    6. A cheapo small sized SSD as a pagefile (used off eBay)
    7. A used CPU from a highly rated vender on eBay
    My suggestions may save you upfront maybe $200, but I'm going off United States.

    SaintERosa got a reaction from handymanshandle in Whoosh - The Airplane and Airline Thread   
    I have been on a plane 4 times in my life all related to the same trip. Each was a fairly new almost private jet sized plane seating between 60 and 100 people (it was some yellow painted airline company, they offer cheap rates), I admit I thought I'd die from panic but actually enjoyed the take off and landing. I hated descending though it made me feel nauseous like car sickness. Also turbulance is surprisingly relaxing although sometimes it can hit pretty rough.
    My favorite airplane would have to be those ones that drop water over forest fires.
