CookiezFort got a reaction from kelvinhall05 in Basic PC for mother
Yea I KNOW, but there is very little I can do. I'll try to get them to buy AMD but it will take some negotiating.

This is the final list we're going for. Ram was changed because turns out its £100 instead of around £70. Changed the SSD aswell and thats about it. Thanks to everyone for helping

CookiezFort got a reaction from havarka in PC Turns on for 1 second and then turns off
One thing I can think of is, take off both gpu's, use 1 stick of ram and plug the video cable to the onboard graphics, see what happens then.

CookiezFort got a reaction from FireFox in Skylake + DDR3
I would just buy DDR4, it is not that expensive, 8gb is at the same price DDR3 was before DDR4 was released.
Also please change text colour to Automatic for us dark theme users

CookiezFort got a reaction from kameshss in SATA cables
My mobo came with only 2 Sata cables which I already use, if molex to sata is fine then I dont really need anything

CookiezFort got a reaction from Enderman in [Q]S340 making the top less ugly
that looks amazing, I may do something similar or invest on some building materials and make something to cover it up, allow for airflow and still make it look good, although it would probably end up being ugly
I can probably survive with only 1 exhaust fan anyways

My changes: 16Gb of slightly faster RAM (we can go even higher if needed) instead of 32gb A pretty powerful CPU so that your videos render at appropriate times with a beefy CPU cooler so that you can OC it. 1 Amazing Gpu instead of 2 'worse' ones Do you really need a deathadder? Also cheaper mobo that can still get the job done and definately wont break on you -

CookiezFort got a reaction from TheSLSAMG in got a £10 Amazon voucher
My brother likes Settlers of Catan and I've shown it to my Mom and she was interested (we found an online thing but we wnat to have oyu know, interaction on a table)
I think Settlers of Catan is the way to go but there is so many things haha, I would also like to get into photograpy but a decent / ok camera is still a bit too expensive, plus I'd like something like a micro lense becuase I like close up things
EDIT: I have no idea what the close up lens is called, my camera of choice would be a 1200D

I do not need a hard drive as I already have one, I may be overclocking in the future aswell so that is the reason for me getting a 4690k now.

CookiezFort got a reaction from KingKeith55 in Games you are enjoying against the odds
Truth be told if it werent for 64 gb and a lot less addons, i would've had xplane urgh i hate CTD, and sub 30 fps because microsoft.
I enjoy playing Just Cause 2 single player (missions) although people say its boring etc etc

CookiezFort got a reaction from HeyKitty in best budget simulator hardware (flight-stick/racing wheel)?
T flight hotas X is your best flight sim stick that is fairly cheap.
For wheel, the best thing for its price is the Logitech Driving Force GT. However Amazon seems to have it overpriced. Here in the UK amazon has it for 124 pound, while in US its like 200 dollars +, where at that point I would go for a G27.
IMHO i would suggest a used Logitech G25 or a used Driving Force GT

CookiezFort got a reaction from Bittenfleax in Fully custom case
What I am thinking of is:
measure the height of pci-e slots first of all so I can know what to cut out. I will always stick with one gpu so I can cut out like all that is needed, and have a 'slab of wood' coming out of the side to screw the gpu in.
for standoffs, I may just go with a on the go approach. For the size of the motherboard part, I will get like a standard ATX size, increase every direction by like 5-10cm and then put the cutouts. I have a basic Idea of the layout, however I am not very sure if it actually any descent.
For aesthetics, I will try and see if I can use my schools laser cutter to get some stuff printed on at the front.
I will soon upload a picture of the internal layout of what I am thinking of it to be, and the parts that will potentially be installed on it
EDIT:
here is the basic internal layout, the final specs will be an I5, any mobo that will be decent at the time of the final upgrade, GTX 980 or bigger gpu's, dual 120 or 140 AIO cooler, or custom water cooler. SSD and 2 HDD's
However, for the start I will have a MSI HD R7770, a g3258 with a 212 evo, one HDD and maybe one ssd, and a pc mate z97 mobo so the I5 that i would get is a 4690k

CookiezFort got a reaction from Bittenfleax in Fully custom case
I will propably go for wood then, I dont think plastic is strong enough...
Anyways I have slowly started to get templates of pc parts to get aproximate sizes.
Red is an ATX motherboard, Green is a GTX 980 sized GPU and the gray is the hard drive that is sized according to the wikipedia 3.5 inch hard drives that have a 1 inch 'depth' or what you want to call it
P.S I will hand draw the pc design after I get all the parts in blender, I wanna be sure I have everything ready

CookiezFort got a reaction from BurgerBum in This better than a 212 EVO?
wow... just wow.
And yes, that cooler is way better than a 212 evo. I think Luke had a hard time installing it, or at least one of the be quiet! coolers.
You will get quieter operation, lower temps and way less noise
