 DAMN YOUR RICH

[Jodomcfrodo]

a 1TB SSD is about 480, and that custom loop is 800. -89 for the H100i and we're at 1191. subtract my $241 SSD and we're at $950. considering I got my case for free, you're essentially telling me to up my budget by 25%. That's a lot no matter how you look at it. But, if I had the money, I probably would have done exactly what you said minus the 1TB SSD. I think half a TB is just fine.

I'm not trying to tell you to up your budget. I actually said the SSD was personal in my original post, implying it may not apply to you. What I'm trying to say is, in my opinion, little things here and there could be made cheaper in way of a custom loop. My build, which is a 780 Ti and 4770k will be watercooled in about two weeks. Overall this was cheaper than your non-watercooled build and probably will perform better due to better overclocks and will look better because I'm not throwing a sausage down a hallway with a non watercooled 900d. Now I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just trying to give you an option that I think will suit you better. If you are seriously against watercooling and like every component you picked then I can agree that your build suits you better. It's all personal in the end.

Can you return any of these parts, for 3K you can get a PC that is quite a bit better

Toss me an example build. The mouse, keyboard, case, and OS were free as gifts from a family member. I'm confident I chose wisely with my parts, although a few are a little overkill, an extra $20 here or there didn't add up to much overall.

You're a good guy. That was a great and honest reply. As more money comes in, I might look at watercooling before summer ends. Thanks Jodo

Mhm (= My last PC was a 1400 prebuilt HP that my father bought me in 2003, and then in 2012 I bought an alienware m14 laptop and it performed great for about 2 years. Been having problems with it recently, and it cost way too much for what it was. But at least I learned a lesson from it, and I've experienced both basic and nonbasic prebuilt computers.

Again, the goal was not to save money at the cost of performance. If I'm willing to pay $20 for 1% better ram than the cheaper option, then this is beyond obvious. So, show me a build better than mine for the same price.

the cheap korean 1440ps are hated on more than school lunches btw.

That's more like it. But I wouldn't be happy with my powerbill being $100 more a month at the very least. Also, a korean monitor again. You just don't give up when it comes to having great visual potential and then picking a tamagotchi as your display.

They are decent monitors and most aren't that ugly

I've read that they have poor color depth and often come with manufacturing problems like a dead pixel. Monitor roulette is not my kinda game, ya feel. Lol
