Here are the parts that I picked out so far. I have already purchased the GPU (because it was on sale for $450), I have a 500 GB SSD, and two monitors listed below. PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CMRcD8 Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CMRcD8/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($308.87 @ Amazon) CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($289.99 @ SuperBiiz) CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock 3 67.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler ($59.90 @ Newegg Marketplace) Motherboard: MSI - Z270-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($109.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: ASRock - AB350M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($74.49 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($139.99 @ Best Buy) Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased For $0.00) Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB WINDFORCE OC 8G Video Card (Purchased For $0.00) Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case ($99.99 @ Amazon) Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Case ($79.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.89 @ OutletPC) Monitor: Lenovo - LI2221s 21.5" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor (Purchased For $0.00) Monitor: Dell - S2716DG 27.0" 2560x1440 144Hz Monitor (Purchased For $0.00) Total: $868.62 Total: $794.24 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available --- Here's what I had in mind for my build: Gaming at 1440p with a 144hz monitor for any and all games Minor Video Editing, 16 GB is fine for now, but would like the ability to upgrade to 32 GB in the future by adding 2 more sticks. Would like a sleek, dark, subtle look with white/bright accents mostly on the inside. Subtle RGB lighting would be a plus, nothing overstated. White or bright colors would be preferred. --- And here are some additional notes about my preferences: General Preferences: Black/White or bright colors, but the case may be fully black/dark. Again, RGB would be nice if it matches color schemes. Motherboard: 4 RAM slots, USB Type-C would be nice, support for DDR4-3000 + RAM. Not sure if SLI/Crossfire would be needed. RAM: DDR4-3000 or better. CPU: Another component I'm not sure about. Put down the 7700k just to be safe, but I don't know if AMD Ryzen would be the better choice considering what I want to do. GPU: I got my GPU for $450. It was a great price, but I'm wondering if I should sell it and get a Ti. I don't think I would mind gaming at Medium settings for higher FPS, so I don't know if the extra $200+ would be worth it. Another benefit would be having a Ti that would better match my build look. Case: Couldn't find an amazing case, but the case I chose is the closest to what I would like my build to look like. Subtle RGB would be a plus, and I wouldn't mind paying a bit of premium for it. Cooling: Would love to try out water cooling, but I've never done it, and I have no idea how much a good looking water cooling system would cost. --- Would you guys be able to suggest some (perhaps RGB) parts for me to use? Maybe a better looking case as well? Thanks so much for your help in advance

I just joined up today and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for a good sleeper case. A case that looks nice, simple, and greatly understates that power of the hardware inside. I like these types of cases because they easily blend into a room (I don't want my PC being the main attraction), and they don't scream out "look at me I'm a gamer" to everyone that comes over.

Hey, I'm looking for a pair of warm sounding over ear headphones in the $300-400 price range. I'd like them to have some kind of a warm sound and reasonable bass ( It really hurts me when the sound is completely flat ), without sacrificing too much of clarity in Adele's songs etc. I hope that I described my type of headphones well, but just to be sure I'd probably listen mostly to music like these songs: The last but not least important criterium is the appearance. I'd love the headphones to look as sleek as possible, because apart from using it with laptop I'd listen to music while walking around the city. My two entry candidates are: Bang & Olufsen H6 -- These are IMO beautiful and I'm especially interested in but I haven't had any possibility to test them, so I'd like to know if they have rich and not flat sound Bose QC35 ( eventually 25) These headphones are quite on the expensive side so I'd like to know if they should be fine for me and if you have any other propositions. Thank you in advance for reading my "essay"!

I’m currently working on building a workstation which is a whole other matter ? but I’m looking for a small laptop roughly £300ish that just needs to run word, download files and surf the web for when I’m in class. Any recommendations? I seem to see a lot about the surface go but this laptop needs only basic features as it’s almost exclusively for notes. I would prefer it to be slim and stylish with small bezels.

Hey so, over the next few months I want to setup a build that's like mine, fit for exactly what I want to do and works well syncing between devices. To start off I have a quite powerful MSI laptop, specs are in my bio thing underneath this post. I love this computer but am starting to be more inclined to the sleek modern look of products like the surface book 2 and the whole surface line of products. Best get this out of the way first, not going to use a Mac so don't even recommend it. My two main goals come down to: 1. Designing a desktop workplace in terms of computer, peripherals, and general aesthetics. 2. Purchasing a laptop that syncs well with the desktop in terms of photos, music, and some other documents. Thinking a lot of this could be achieved with Windows 10 now as it seems Microsoft is trying to give more of a connected feeling between devices like how you can connect your phone and send texts. For the laptop I am thinking potentially the surface book 2. I want a laptop that has the flexibility that a lot of laptops have now with their screen including touch and the ability to draw. Also a high quality clear screen at least 1440p or above. It doesn't need to be overly powerful, definitely an SSD, at least 4 cores, and a dedicated card would be nice but not a must and it doesn't need to play top of the line games. The battery life I would also like to be long when doing general tasks like watching youtube, writing essays, etc. I definitely don't want a bulky laptop by any means, I definitely like the more sleek modern thing designs with white, silver, platinum, etc. Also a pen for the screen which is another reason I was thinking the surface book 2, this will allow me to easily write notes down. The desktop and this entire area is where I'm quite stumped, on the one hand I very much enjoy the look of the Surface Studio 2, but it's not really what I need and getting the more powerful versions of it aren't what you'd consider cheap. Like I don't really want a tower but get the feeling I'm going to need one unless I want it to be insanely expensive. I would be playing recent titles with this computer which also raises a problem with the Studio. And the peripherals I really have no clue about at all, except that I also like the Arc Mouse. After all the parts I've said I like you can probably get the sense of the style I'm looking for. All the peripherals I'd be looking for are: Headset & Stand, Mouse, Mouse Pad, and potentially some speakers and a monitor (depending on whether or not the computer is an all in one.) Thanks, know I haven't been too specific on what I want, cause I'm not entirely sure myself which is why I'm asking for help. :)

hELLO PEoPLe !!! I am looking for a laptop and I kinda have reached hypersaturation of unsatisfaction (forgive my english). There is so many to choose from but they miss out something very important every time. Then there comes custom building __ but I need help lot of things to take care off... And I am Beginning my Req..( doubts will be added in subsequent requirements) 1. The Screen - Preffered UHD/1440p monitor satisfied with 1080p also..... musts - a 144hz rr or 120min and low latency... color accuracy of min 97% and anti glare panel (must,i hate reflections).... keep in mind (least important.) - touchscreen ( yes or no - taking suggestion. coz i am planning to use it for productivity too), sleek design .A GOOD SWIVEL ANGEL.... 2. MIND(processor) - yours too chose. Must - Productivity (video editing) wise smooth scrubbing at 720p and real time smooth playback at UHD/1440p. ( export time not much imp.) (not planning 4k ever) 3. SOUL (GPU) - yours again.. Must - a min of 60fps on very high or high end gaming never planning on ultra. Keep my productivity requirement in mind. VR...... let's see. 4. RAM as per required for very goood performance ( the level behind ultra ) 5. Temperature management - fine with using a cooling pad-- but a good in and out air flow design required. 6. Storage. doubts...... does gaming on Nvme drives make difference ? does video editing nvme drives make difference ? ( from SSD) however.. I want a Nvme m.2 drive for boot capacity will be decide on the answering of below questions.. - coz i dont wanna eat up alot space for my drives. i am fine with using external drives. - again Using a external SSD using e sata port for gaming make difference ? (from usb 3.0 or greater.) ( this will decide my I/O port requirements) - the same for video editing. - suggestion on thunderbolt supported drives Fill me with more Information or links regarding storage, their performance level, and using it via different input ports. 7. MUST min. of 4 USB 3.0 or better. thunderbolt both 2 and 3 . a usb-c type AUDIO IN AND OUT (5.1 OUT MAYBEEE ?) ETHERNET, HDMI (X2 MAYBEEEE DEPENDS ON GPU) AND ESATAAAA PORTT like 1 MINIMUM ?? (2 PREF.) Sd card SLOT. BTW USB 3.0 AND HIGHER are they backward supported ? 8.RGB lightingg. lets does it put a hole in my pocket yet. 9. Battery Life.. A Min of 2 hr of peformance at High end. (6-8 at average work load like word proccesing...) i am planning to carry extra battery. keyboard and touchpad.. choose a good one with backlit/ RGB. Wireless _ WIFI and Bluetooth MUST. I prefeer a Good Built in speaker but ready to ditch it for space. <3 I FEEL like i am asking for a custom MotherBoard bleh.. but help me out.. and I Totally LoVe your YoutuBe cHannel Thats All I Watch all DaY EVERy day. just a lil jealous of all the stuff you get

Hi guys, Im looking for a decent gaming build that will be future proof for some while. I've looked online and thought here is the best place to ask. I want a build with a gtx 1080 or gtx 1080ti and 500ssd. Also I need Wifi in it. What would you recommend?

So at first, I wanted to go with an S340Elite from NZXT, but a guy told me it wouldn't handle the Heat from the 1080ti and a Coffe Lake CPU, so I decided to go with an H700i. But because of that smart device that makes the case 200$, and doesn't (apparently) even support Aer Fans AND RGB Strips together, that was not good too. So now I don't know what I should use. I want something minimalistic, maybe some RGB, but can't find any cases. Any recommendations, or should I just buy another NZXT Hue+? H700i: (something like that maybe)

Are there better alternatives o this keyboard? I like the LEDs on it and it has the switches I need.

Hey guys, I've recently been in the hunt for a new PC case. I want to show off my build as well as possible. I've been interested in the Lian-li PC-O8 and the PC-O7s but I haven't really been so interested in the price tags (like $500-$600 AU). I'm looking for something very sleek and premium looking (most preferably with glass or similar). Though I do want to keep it under the $400 AU mark. My system isn't absolutely insane but I really do just kinda like to look at it. The colours of the components I've got now aren't really coordinated in any way, so I'm thinking of doing some quick little paint jobs to fix that. Want to go blue and red, so I will get a new set of red hyperx ram to match the these instead of the lower speed set in there now. So yeah. Any suggestions would be awesome. My system specs are all listed in the link below on PCPartPicker. Excuse the case as that's what I want to upgrade. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/PJpnYJ It should be noted though. I was hoping to upgrade later on to a second 390, but I am waiting to see the new gen of the 980ti teir before purchasing as I may sell my 390 in favour of the new card. Current 390 is 300mm long.

" C Y v 2 " A Black & 'Corsair Blue' Build Cy is the name of my "gaming laptop" that I got back in 2011 from CyberPower. (I'm just so clever at naming, huh? My old Lenovo laptop's name was Lenny!) She's been a great trooper and all, but she's reached the point where overheating, BSODs, and random glitching from the media controller is unavoidable. (I'm pretty sure the motherboard is slowly dying.) Confined to smaller games like Terrarria and 100% Orange Juice for months, I've finally decided that enough is enough! So, with the help of my generous boyfriend and our amazing tax refund this year, I'm getting to finally work on my dream PC, which I can upgrade every few years rather than having to buy a whole new system! Computers are a passion of mine, so being able to finally have this computer to work on is a huge deal to me, and I couldn't be happier! Most parts are out for delivery today (February 6th), but the rest are scheduled to be delivered on Monday (Februrary 8th). I have a friend loaning me their super awesome camera, so I'll be able to provide pics as I go! NOTE: Yes, I know a few parts in here are overkill, such as the PSU. In most cases, I'm doing this with two things in mind: aesthetics and upgrades. For example, I know that a 750W Platinum PSU is definitely overkill, but between that pretty matching label and the fact that in a year or two when I get a second card for SLI, it will be a much better match. The parts are already bought, so there is no changing a single thing! PART LIST >> PC Part Picker << CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K The CPU was a pretty easy choice since I picked out my motherboard first. I simply went with the best i5 for that generation, since an i7 would be a bit too overkill for my needs. Also, looking into benchmarks between Haswell and Skylake, there really wasn't too much of a difference asides from RAM, and Haswell-E was just too pricey for comparable specs. So, I decided to go with good ol' Z97 for now! COOLING: Corsair H110i GT Again, overkill. I'm only planning to do some minimal overclocking, but with how hot it gets in the summer where I live, I figure that the more cooling, the better. I'm not the biggest fan of this AIO's design (I honestly preferred the H100i's look), but I'm a huge fan of Corsair's coolers in general, and I think with some minor modding (aka vinyl wrapping the silver accents), it will look a lot nicer in my build! It's a shame that Corsair has continually delayed the colored face-plates for the cooler, otherwise I would have considered buying some! As for mounting, I'm going with putting it in the front of the case, simply because I have a cat, and Fractal Design did kind of derp with the top of the case in terms of dust prevention with the moduvents open! MOTHERBOARD: ASRock Z97 Extreme4 I'm kind of crossing my fingers on this board. There's several reports of the board not wanting to turn back on if there's a power outage or something, but I plan to test this right out of the box. If it doesn't work, I'll RMA it immediately and upgrade to the Extreme6, which doesn't seem to have the issues. Hopefully, all will be good, though. This motherboard honestly has all the specs I could possibly need, with nothing too crazy to jack up the price. The blue is gorgeous, and it's SLI compatible for when I decide in a year or two to get a second GPU. MEMORY: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB 1866MHz (2 x 4GB) I'll likely end up updating to 16GB down the line, but for now, 8GB should be enough, and I doubt I'll need more than 16GB for a few years, assuming games even get up to that point. By then, I'll probably have moved on to a new system which uses DDR4, so I see no reason for going any higher than that. Other than that, my only reason in choosing these in particular was aesthetics. It was a tossup between the Vengeance Low Profile and Pro modules, but after lots of ogling other builds, I decided that the Vengeance Pro have that perfect sleek look to them. STORAGE: Samsung 850 EVO (250GB) + Western Digital Black 2.5" (750GB) The SSD is an obvious choice. 250GB is plenty for my OS, base programs, and my current addictions when it comes to games. As for the HDD? Yes, you read that right. I'm going with a 2.5" HDD, which may seem weird since I'm going with a rather large case with plenty of HDD cages. Well, with the radiator mounted in the front, I have limited options, and have decided to go with completely removing the drive cages, rather than moving one back and having the corner of it peaking out the window. I'm so used to having only 500GB on my laptop that I feel completely comfortable with having 1TB of storage combined, but if I do happen to fill it all up, I'll just use some trusty 3M double-sided tape to mount my SSD somewhere else, and put a second HDD in the mounting point behind the motherboard. VIDEO CARD: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+ At first, I planned to go with the GTX 960. I figured it would be more than enough for me, but so many people criticized me for not going ahead and getting the GTX 970 instead. So, I decided to go ahead and splurge. When I was looking around at the various models, I found that the FTW+ not only has a backplate, but it also has a better potential than the FTW edition, mostly due to better cooling and a higher thermal ceiling. Plus, since buying the FTW edition and backplate vs. the FTW+ edition ends up around the same price, I figured why not? I'm essentially paying for the backplate and getting some better clock speeds and cooling for free! CASE: Fractal Design Define R5 I looooove this case. At first, I disliked the new moduvents compared to the R4's, but they quickly grew on me, as well as all the other improvements FD made with it. The only case I like more than this is the Lian Li PC-O8, but I simply couldn't justify the price. Maybe one day I'll go ahead and snag one, but for now I'm more than happy with my second favorite case on the market! It's just so sleek and simple, making the perfect frame for the main attraction inside. I plan to do some incredibly simple mods to the case, but they're nothing noteworthy. I just want to replace the PCI slot covers with black ones and then vinyl-wrap the front of the case with some brushed metal vinyl in blue, so that it matches my theme. (Inspired by this R5 from CES 2014.) POWER SUPPLY: Corsair HX750i + CableMod Sleeved Cables Okay... This is definitely one of those overkill parts I mentioned. I could easily get away with a 500-600W Gold PSU, but with the Define R5's lack of basement (the only thing I think it's missing), I figured I'd splurge and get the only PSU on the market that matches my blue theme so well! I really do love Corsair's consistency when it comes to colors, and I wish more brands would stop being so back and forth with what colors they use. (I miss ASUS's old blue motherboards so much!) Oh well. It's a great PSU and I'm okay with splurging a slight bit on it simply because it matches! Also, in a few months I plan to get the new "Corsair Blue" sleeved cables which CableMod has confirmed to me on Facebook are coming "by March." I really can't wait for these, and I feel special that they're going out of the way to make them as per my request (borderline begging)! OPTICAL DRIVE: ASUS 24X CD/DVD Drive Does this even need an explanation? I'm one of those weirdos who still uses optical drives, but have no reason to go for Blu-Ray. This is one of the most used and highest rated CD/DVD drives on the market, so it seemed to be the best choice. Plus it was only like $16 after a coupon. Thank goodness for the R5's wonderful front panel, though. Optical drives are ugly! FANS: Corsair AF140 Quiet Edition & SP140Ls For the fans, I'm keeping things relatively simple. I'm ditching the included case fans due to them not matching my build, and plan to use the included SP140L fans from the Corsair H110i GT in the front of the case since they won't be seen. For the rear fan, I'm splurging for the Corsair AF140, simply because of that pretty blue ring it comes with! Well, that and the fact that they are great fans. I might upgrade the front fans to Noctuas (Linus Edition, maybe!?), but I'll see how my temps end up before deciding. $50-60 is a lot for just two fans. OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10 Pro I'm not really sure what to say about the OS. I'll miss Windows 7, but I was given Windows 10 Pro by a family member who works in IT, so why not? They saved me some big bucks, and I'm really digging the OS on my laptop and tablet so far. It really is great, especially with Classic Shell! MONITOR & PERIPHERALS: SCEPTRE 1080p 40" HDTV & Anker CB310 Wireless Mouse & Keyboard Set Oh boy... This is where my computer gets a bit wonky. After all of this sexiness, I really had to settle when it came to my monitor and peripherals. Why? Well, long story short, my boyfriend and I share a tiny room as if it were an apartment. We have no room for desks, so he uses his dresser while I'll be using my keyboard and mouse on a laptop tray from the edge of the bed and using our TV as a monitor. I don't really mind this too much, since the TV is amazingly good quality to be a cheapo TV we got during the post-Christmas sales. The keyboard and nice are surprisingly great quality for their price, too! OTHER STUFF: DeepCool RGB LED Kit & COSMOS Bay Drawer With a pretty blue build like this, I'd be silly not to add some lighting to show it off, even if it will be rare for anyone but my boyfriend and I to see it! So, I went with the DeepCool RGB lighting kit since it seems to be the best RGB option in terms of price vs. performance, and I bought some magnetic tape to stick on the backs so that I can move them around however I want. As for the drawer, well... I wanted something in the second bay is all, and I like the idea of having a little drawer for things like my flash drives and other adapters and such. Have an idea for a better name? Let me know! CYv2 is just what I've been calling this build, but I may change it!

Not sure if this is the right place to post. This is a little attempt at trying to revise the Linus Tech Tips intro.

Ok, I may be posting in the wrong area, if I am just tell me. I'm looking for a gaming laptop. For the details of the laptop, I am looking for it to be thin, 13"to 14" (can be larger) 1600x900 to 1920x1080. For it to run games on med to high graphics. I don't want the most powerful, just something small compact and to run new games while I'm out and about. Thanks for the help.

Hi guys. If you want to skip the boring bit, go down to where my future rig components list is A little introduction to me: I've been into computer for a good few years, and now being 18, I have a job (Actually 2!) and so I'm earning more then just pocket money and allowance! As of recent (Summer 2013), I've been buying various things towards my end accomplishment of having a whole set-up to be proud of. Now, by no means am I loaded enough to buy all the parts outright. That would be awesome, but totally impossible as I don't have the funds, and my girlfriend isn't helping on that front! So like previously stated, I've been buying my part by part. In fact, the origins of my current computer come from my first ever build! I'm currently at College studying Maths and Physics in my third year, I have a part-time job as a Shelf stacker, and another part-time job as an IT technician at a private school. Original Build list (Summer 2012): - AMD FX-6100 3.3Ghz - Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro - Asus M5A97 AM3+ - Corsair Vengeance LP 2x4GB @ 1333Mhz - Sapphire 5450 1GB - WD Blue 500GB - 650W Unbranded PSU - Inwin Maelstrom Full Tower Case - Windows 7 64 Bit AMD FX6100 CPU M5A97 Mobo Sapphire HD5450 1GB Corsair Vengeance LP 2x4GB Inwin Maelstrom Case So I started with this, and in my defence, this is when I wasn't earning alot of money. This was capable of playing the infamous RuneScape, and the more famous Minecraft. Since then I've wanted more and more power to play better games, like the BF series, Grid etc etc. Due to this, I bought better components after putting this rig together, even from as short of a time as 1 month after the rig was assembled. Additions to the build a few months after it was assembled: - Sapphire 7850 2GB (Overclocked to 925Mhz/1270Mhz) - TherMax Spire II w/ 2 Stock fans - Powercool 800W dual rail PSU HD7850 TherMax CPU cooler The GPU and CPU cooler are both still currently in my rig. However the PSU only lasted a week or so. It had received bad reviews, but it was very cheap for the Wattage. I was still pretty naive at this age, and preferred price over branding. I'm quiet opposite now! I ended up returning the Powercool PSU and returning back to the Gold PSU. The CPU cooler did mean however, that I could use the inbuilt overclocking to push my CPU to 3.6Ghz After a trip to my home country of Scotland, I was able to get a Corsair CX750M PSU discounted due to a friend working at an electronics store. This finally meant that after months of running on a risky unbranded Gold PSU, I could finally go with a trusted brand. This was quickly installed. About a week later I received my Soundblaster 3D Recon PCI-e card and the 5.1 Logitech sound system. I also got my Roccat Kova[+] with this delivery too It was around this time when I started earning decent enough money to start upgrading components in a quicker fashion then the year before, as all the components listed after this were bought in 2013. First on my list was a monitor, this is because I had been running my computer off of a 19" 1080i TV, so I had been wanting to upgrade this alot! I upgraded to the Acer S240HLbid 24" monitor. Around the same point in time I also ordered my 500Mbps TP-Link Powerline adapters due to really bad wifi reception in my bedroom. A good investment! The Summer of 2013 marked the upgrading of my rig. This is when I started upgrading old components of my rig in the vision of my "new" rig. So I ordered the Fractal Design R4 w/ Window, Samsung 840 120GB SSD and a few bits and bobs so that I could make the case work, such as a PCI-e USB 3 adapter, a 3rd fan and a sleeved molex extension cable. This order was spurred on by the fact I had to move to a significantly smaller room, so wanted to upgrade the computer in the bedroom which had more room. Shortly after moving into the new, small and sauna like room (really small so heats up due to my PC really quickly!); I decided to upgrade from my old turtlebeach x12s after receiving complaints from Skype friends about them being too open. So I decided, after much debate, to go for the Razer Kraken Pro Black. I love the functionality of this headset and so would recommend it to anyone Under recommendation, and hardcore linus stalkers will be laughing now, I also bought a steelseries QCK-mass mouse mat. Good mouse mat. Since I was about 12, I had used multiple computers, but only ever one chair. I've made a mark on the chair. No literally, a mark. It must've been from when I came in with blue jeans after a rainy day and just sat down, as a good amount of the chair was just blue! LOL! Due to this wooden chair, and learning about Health and Safety from College ICT classes, I decided to get an office chair. This was a risk though as there is about 2ft between my desk and my Bed due to size limitations! Regardless, I bought it and I'm now making it work! The last upgrade I have to talk about is the Microsoft sidewinder x4 which I bought to temporarily replace my old, worn out Microsoft wireless 2000. Now with all the story out of the way, my future rig specs. *Insert epic name for a rig here*: - i7 4770k @ 4.5Ghz (Hopefully!) - H100i - Maximus VI Hero - EVGA 780 SC ACX / XXXX R9-290X - Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB @ 1800Mhz~ - Samsung Pro 512GB SSD / 500GB SSD / 2TB HDD - Windows 8 64 Bit The end result of this rig is for future proofing (that's why I've chosen the i7 over the i5), and for some epic gaming! If you have any suggestions or any ideas about what I can do with my rig, I'll add your suggestion to the list below if I like it, and it may be a possible addition to my rig in the future! Member Suggestions: - "i5 CPU with smaller SSD and a cheaper mobo" suggested by JORDANonPC & Nicktrance - 2TB HDD instead of SSD suggested by JORDANonPC Thanks for reading !

Hi guys, I'm looking for a windowed mid-sized ATX tower for my new build. I want it to have decent cable management and be compatible with an H100i, ideally that can be mounted on the front. I want it to be sleek and have a relatively low profile. Black is my preferred color choice and any noise dampening is also a plus but not necessary. I'm looking for something under $150 USD. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hello Linus groupies, I was looking around for a sleek/classy case such as the inwin s-frame, 904 or corsair 760t for a custom build i would like to do. I am thinking ATX midsize but not totally set in stone. custom water cooling capability is important. price isn't set either because a case will last a long time compared to hardware. (preferred $200 or less) The problem with the inwin cases is either bad build quality or limited edition. (if someone could tell me how to get one that would be awesome!) the problem with the corsair 760t is that in my opinion the front of the case is ugly. (personal preference, please don't rage) opinions would be greatly appreciated!
