  1. I would prefer, a mic on the headset, as I game competitively, but I won't let it stop me from getting a solid headset. I have heard some good headsets with detachable mic ports? If so I would prefer those.
  2. If my budget is 200$ what would be the best headset for the money? I'm into rock, hip hop, country, trap ..etc. Also I love to game competitively. I hope this description helps with the suggestions. I'm kind of a noob at audio atm. I also fell into the trap of "if it's a GAMING headset then it's good, and wow it has wireless" I now know about sound quality and other much better sound companies than logitech
  3. The only chassis fan im replacing is the rear fan, which is recommended. I'm keeping the front 3 stock fans. Also if you are keeping the stock corsair fans on a h105....u r doing it wrong.... If there is one place in a computer that you should worry about static pressure, it's the rad fans. So buying after market fans built for great static pressure, you are gonna see a massive difference in cooling temps over the stock corsair fans. Also, I'm not a pc extreme enthusiast, which means I'm gonna OC, but not past what's recommended. My gtx evga 780 in this rig is professionally OC and I'm only going to OC my cpu (i5 4690k) to what would be suggested.
  4. I do agree with the case not being an all star air flow master case.... I realize that, but the noise damping is what I'm really after, as I have a roommate sharing the same room, and limiting noise is a priority. I do disagree though about keeping the nzxt stock fans, I have seen multiple people prove in IRL and Youtube vids (in this specific case aswell) that the noctua fans are quieter, more efficient, and better cooling then the stock nzxt fans. The strong points of this case is too look damn sexy and be quiet. Both of which i am content and only dropping 119$ on this case, I am blown away at the features of this case. Sure I might had too blow some pocket change to get aftermarket fans, to help with the cooling, but now I get a great case with a bunch of real quality features, and with good cooling. **note: I never got into using water cooling (except for rad of course), as this is my second build. So I have no experience in water cooling beyond self regulated rads. Also the whole fact of water running through tubes and into a pump in your comp with all your really expensive equipment that can get destroyed by a leak, kinda scares me to be honest 0:
  5. Hmmm... that Tom guy has a point....so switch the a14 140mm fan on the rear of the case to pull instead of push. That should decrease the temp more.
  6. So I have ordered all my parts and they will becoming very shortly. #thedreamcomp... anyway, I bought 2 noctua nf f12 120mm fans to replace the fans on the corsair h105 rad. Also I went and bought the noctua NF A14 140mm to replace the nzxt fan on the back side. What I was thinking for a well thought out fan setup would be: Have the 3 stock nzxt fans that come on the front of the case run in push. Have the 1 noctua a14 140mm on the back side run in push. Have the 2 noctua nf f12s on the top, with the rad, run on pull. *note: the computer will be sitting on top of my desk, so It will have good air flow from all sides. ____________ The concept is to use the scientific law that we learned in elementary school: hot air rises. By taking the nice cool air from sides and using the "hot air rises" concept + having the top noctua fans pull out the hot air from the case. It should produce a very cool environment for the hardware inside. Also, I know that corsair prefers to have the fans on the bottom of the rad, then on top... but the noctua are just too ugly.... and I never saw any improvement from having the fans on the bottom or top, while watching fan benchmark vids running cooling tests with prime 95. If you guys have any suggestions, comments, or questions.. I will be checking this thread fairly often, to review them. Thanks in-advance! -Ferox PS: also the computer is called hashtag, cause #yolo.
  7. http://www.ncix.com/detail/lg-29um65-p-29in-widescreen-led-e7-94835-1458.htm its the LG29UM65 IPS LED monitor. I have a 400$ budget for a monitor. My questions on this monitor are: is it good for gaming? anyone have any troubles with it? is it worth the ~379$ Is there something better for the 400$ budget?
  8. OK so I think I'm going to stick with the gtx 780 ftw acx for the reason of: 1) I can get the card for 489$ with rebate. 2) it comes with a free watch dog game (a game I was going to get anyway 60$ value) 3) amazing nvidia software and drivers. 4) the r9 290x tri x OC went up 50$
  9. Maybe there is a way to get 10% off of it... any ideas?
  10. Dang the r9 290x tri x oc went up 50$....still worth it?
  11. The PSU that I do have though, is pretty efficient. Might be ok. Gonna look into this more.
  12. Ok so, I went to some benchmarking sites and youtube videos, and the r9 290x tri is obviously better and for the same price? THATS STEALING! but I also found out my 650w PSU might not be enough if I wanted to OC
  13. I do have a couple 1tb external hard drives laying around aswell. And by the time I fill that 1tb up, the price for hdd will be that much lower , ill just pick up 2tb when I need it. I went with a 1tb to keep to my budget better.
  14. I also heard that there is a Black/Green version of the nzxt h440. Anyone can confirm? The reasoning behind it is: All my periphery is razer, so its all green/black, and if my case could match... that would be epic. EDIT: ok so I found it! The green looks like its gonna match well with my backlit razer blackwidow and naga. http://www.microcenter.com/product/430113/H440_ATX_Case_with_window
