With the Z2 I will be able to get thrown into a lake and it would still work! Also the wrap has the guys on the back, gg dbrand!!

Probably showing people my "Xbox Hacks" folder...

Thanks for all that advice Unclescar... Since this post I have changed a few specs, I'm going for as you mentioned the 4930K as if I drop 32 Gigs of RAM which many people have recommended to me I will have enough to save up for it. And also I am thinking of running SLI, most likely now the 780ti's and if my budget can stretch probably the 6GB versions. Thanks again for the RAID advice and I will set it up like that when my parts arrive! Cheers!

That is what I thought, however this guy I was watching on YouTube said not to wall so I was a little confused?

The Corsair 2100 being wireless uses a USB to what I think is a Mini USB. I was just wondering if anyone that owns the product or knows anything about it could help me with the charging situation. Obviously it can be plugged into the front USB ports on my PC... However can I plug it into my wall socket (As I live in the UK the standard Voltage is 230 [if that matters]) using a standard mains plug to USB adapter like the one I use for my iPad or S4. Just want to find out if I would over-volt or even kill the non swappable battery inside the headset... Cheers!

Sorry just another quick addition, I've been reading up on the 4930k and with it being a Hex Core, many people are referring to it as an "effectively" a 12 Core? Again, CPU's aren't my strongest subject so if anyone could enlighten me on this, that would be great!

Agreed, however with some brands, Corsair just as my first hand example you can get additional cables pre-sleeved and flat that come in all different colours, I also think these cables are cross compatible with all the different modular PSU's.

I haven't seen the prices of many Non-modular PSU's personally because I don't have any interest what so ever! Personally I would recommend a Fully Modular PSU for these reasons; 1) Like a semi modular you only have to plug in the cables you need to. 2) It can make for very nice and tidy cable management as most newer PSU's (Such as the Corsair RM series) are coming with flat cables including the 24 pin motherboard cable which for a perfectionist like myself looks much nicer and is much much easier to cable manage with 3) (This is more of a personal comment) They are overall better quality. I have seen many better quality PSU's with 80+ Gold Ratings, Platinum ratings along with the new Titanium Rating found on the Corsair AX1500i Overall I would recommend fully modular for best performance, reliability and looks (if you want the look of your rig to be nice).

Okay, think I will do, cheers!

I'm going to be using my machine for gaming because I mean like every sane person ever the best platform to game on is the PC, however I also am going to be doing heavy video rendering, such as small drama series with each video being about 10 - 15 minuets long, in some cases probably longer. I am literally just at my budget limit and I don't think I have enough to spend the extra £200 it would cost me unfortunately.

So, I'm not going to lie, I don't know a hell of a lot about CPU's. My question is simply the thread title, Is the i7 4820K good for a gaming rig. I want to have 64GB's of 1866Ghz RAM (I'm not stupid I have reasons!) with eventually two EVGA SC Geforce GTX 780ti's. Is this a good processor for that? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, cheers!

Hi, I'm going to be building a rather high-ish spec PC shortly, I'm going all out on the price (well... To what I can afford anyway) and currently not including peripherals it is totalling about £2400. My dilema is what way I should set up my HDD's. I am going to be getting 2, possible SSD's at 480GB for games and my OS. But I am unsure on which what way I should set up my 4 standard 2TB HDD's. Currently I do a lot of Visual Media Production as well as the odd bit of graphic design, so video files especially are important to me but speed is also as important. I know a little about the way Raid 0 and Raid 10 work, however I am just wondering if anyone knows any better arrays and how easy it is to set up as on the set up front I am absolutely clueless! Any advice will be greatly appreciated, cheers!

From personal preference I would favour a Razer Kraken Pro, it has heavy bass, good sound quality and with Razer Synapse; great surround. However I have just spent £100 (approx $150) on the Corsair 2100 Wireless headset so I will keep you up to date with how that performs. But for good bass, great sound quality and response, you may want to 'release the Kraken'. Sorry that pun was woeful. I am really sorry.
