  1. Here you go: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/corsair-hoodie-2xl It's on the corsair gear store, they also sell shirts, a hat, a bag, and water bottles. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/gear
  2. Sorry about the late response, hope this is still open to team building. I'm currently level 97, probably going to do some more grinding tonight in attempt to hit 100 and gain some Summer Games loot before that's over. I've played since about a week after it released. I'm usually on at every day for a little while, I don't rage quit, and I am very willing to switch characters to fit the situation to help out the team. I'll send you a request my tag is DoctorDan #1504
  3. Understandible. Sorry about not clarifying btw! Thanks for the info I'm a bit of a first time planner with this and just want to make sure I refine my build as to minimize any regrets. I'm looking for a very reliable board and you know having features like USB C (Not a must), ample SATA drive connectors 6 would be good, a passable on board sound drivers (I have an external interface I use with my laptop currently and will invest in speakers for it once the desktop is build and squared away), and around 3 usb headers so I can do my front IO, Fan controller, and a corsair link device. Perhaps if you believe there may be a good feature I left out go ahead and let me know if you wish. I'll retract the onboard wifi then, do you have any wireless cards you'd personally stand behind? Thank you, I very much appreciate the help.
  4. Hey guys so this one is kinda short, I basically just wanted to get everyones opinions as to what the best Z170 board would be, I was looking at the ASUS Z170 Deluxe but I've been seeing quite a few mixed reviews on Newegg and wanted to get the LTT communities opinion on this. (Side Note: It must have onboard 802.11 wireless as I do not have constant access to ethernet near where the PC will be and would like to keep the PCIE slots free as I plan to use them later on and would hate to waste a slot on a wireless card when I could get it on the motherboard) Thanks guys!
  5. Well, I've put some more thought into it and I'm totally ok with 2k. Is this a monitor you've used or know some one who has used it before?
  6. Hey there guys! I've basically got my rig all planned out, but when it comes down to the monitor I'd like to spend less than $600 on a good 4k monitor that I can both game on and use for my Adobe Projects in Photoshop, Premiere, etc. I've seen many mixed reviews out there on monitors so my first thought was hey the LTT forums are pretty reliable! Anyway, I'd like to get a monitor with an Adjustable hight stand, and it'd be great if it had swivel too, but that really isn't nearly as important. Aside from that I'd like for it to also have speakers because I won't be purchasing desktop speakers for a while. Any other things y'all have to add I'm totally up to hear. Thanks guys!
  7. Yea, one thing I would prefer in a motherboard is the onboard 802.11 as I'm often out of reach of any Ethernet cable tied into a home network. I also am very fond of the plethora of USB on the back as well as the amount of SATA ports, orientation of the front USB 3 header, RGB onboard, as well as RGB header. This Mobo was both a functionality and design choice for me.
  8. Alright hey guys! So I've made a couple of posts in the past with my planned build but a few things always get in my way and make me change it, the most recent one being computex 2016. But hey! Here we go! (Disclaimer the GTX 1080 FE currently in the video card spot is simply a place holder until the ASUS GTX 1080 strix is released) Parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/HhznTH Now here's the thing, this will be a gaming, editing, and music workstation. So if you believe the RAM or any other parts are in need of a change let me know. But one thing I'd also like to keep in mind is I want this to look good as several of the parts I will be getting are RGB lighted, so if you believe anything is in need of color coordination also let me know. If you have a personal hardware preference that you believe in and it is better than what I have also let me know as I rather go with reliability through tested and true than some random reviews. Additional note: If you believe you know of a monitor that is better for my described work or simply one that is better but still not too expensive please let me know.
  9. Thanks guys! The Be Quiet Silent Base 800 is really looking like the case to fit my needs.
  10. So a I am currently in the process of planning a PC build; however, I keep getting tossed from case to case as I look around. Any way, the PC will be used as a gaming PC, Video Editing Rig, and music recording and editing rig (thus the quiet aspect). In this case I will definitely want there to be enough cooling to appropriately handle the thermals of the aforementioned workloads, as well as at least two expansion bays on the front for a multimedia card reader and CD/DVD drive. The hardware I hope to include is as follows, i7 6700k, GTX 1080, 16GB of RAM, and an undetermined amount of mass storage, Also a ssd boot drive of around 100-250-ish GBs. At one point I found the H630, but have heard many bad things about the airflow and thermals. Thanks ahead of time!
  11. What if I were to run something like unraid to assign and assign each GPU to its own OS? Now I hear stories about Xeons not being that great for gaming but in the "7 gamers" project I noticed they used dual Xeons.
  12. 1. I'd say my max budget will be $3k since this is a progressive process, but that would be the very max. 2. I live in the US (Eastern) 3. Depending on the part I wouldn't mind.
  13. Greetings! Most recently I've been looking ahead to building a PC to call my very own. While I have a spreadsheet I've been compiling to build a gaming PC, I came to the realization that as someone who has been using more and more programs for engineering, CAD software, solid works, simulation software, etc. as well as software I use for my hobbies (i.e. Premiere, other CC apps, Ableton live, etc) it would benefit me to have some more workstation grade hardware implemented into my build. I am looking to build a gaming/workstation pc in essence. Of course I expect that I will need a Quadro, in all likelihood not something too expensive or powerful but just enough such as the k2200. I'm very open to getting recommendations for this, and expect this build to take a while to save up for. In the mean time I'll be collecting peripherals on my own. So far I have a corsair k70 keyboard I find to be a very nice balance, and I am looking into getting an MX masters (my current mouse is an old razor tapai and will likely still be my "gaming mouse" since its wired). I'm looking into getting an ASUS MX279H either 25" or 27" to add on to my gaming laptop and eventually this build, but by then I will likely be getting a second display for efficient workflow. HOWEVER; this display doesn't have a display port, so if you all have a better choice of display please do comment! Really what I am looking for here is a great hybrid between Gaming and Workstation as my old gaming laptop is beginning to outgrow the workload I push on it with its old 600 series Gtx and 3000 series i7. honestly I love the thing to death, but I need something more powerful as I continue to grow in the number of powerful programs and games I have adopted and will adopt in future years. Thank you! PS: Case recommendations are also very welcomed!
  14. Great! Thanks guys! I'm planning on upgrading in the future so I'll go with a 650.
