Nothing PC related, every Euro I spend on PC parts, is a euro I should not have spent in my parents book... But I got a good book.

That last part, fantastic!

 

Santa got me some money with which I intend to buy one of these famous Corsair K70 keyboards(still deciding between browns or reds) to see what all the love for them is about.

Rest of the money goes into the savings account considering I'm pretty happy with my current setup.

CPU: i7-4770K  Cooler: NZXT X60  GPU: Asus GTX 770 2GB  MB: Asus Maximus VI Hero  RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600MHz  PSU: Be Quiet! 630 Watt  Case: NZXT H440 

       Storage: 120GB Samsung 840 Evo + 1TB Seagate HDD  Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB  Mouse: G502 Proteus Spectrum  Headphone: Sennheiser HD598  Mic: Blue Snowball Ice

Got myself a H240X

You can't be serious.  Hyperthreading is a market joke?

I legit didn't get a single thing except 40 bucks from my grandmother. Not saying I'm not grateful, just saying I was hoping for my triple monitors :'(

Is that a computer or a jet engine? Why not both?

Considering they sell a cable that is the same price as the entire headphones.

That sounds like a weird issue. I don't see why your motherboard wouldn't support the GTX 980.

 

I however understand why it says that it doesn't support it. They probably haven't bothered updating the 'Supported graphics cards'-list.

You checked that the card was fully seated, and power was connected, I assume.

Even if it would have supported the GTX 980 it would have gotten too warm in that tight case configuration and the cables from the psu would have been sticking out from the case, so I would have been unable to close the case.

I keep my GTX 780 in a Antec Sonata III. It gets super toasty in there, so I just keep the side panel off pretty much all the time. Oh, and pretty much all motherboards support all video cards. As long as it has a PCI Express 16x. I could put my GTX 780 in my LGA 775 system if I felt like it :P

 

Been using it for Folding over the last week, keeps my room nice and warm :D

 

Oh, and to be on topic. I didn't get any PC hardware for Christmas. :c

Did buy myself a Ducky YotH and a Ducky mouse pad last month tho! And gave my friend a set of PBT keycaps for his Das as an early Christmas present couple of weeks ago.

I really want to try out those Romer switches. The deal breaker from what I have heard about the G910 is the keycaps.

For this Christmas, Santa (Dad) gave me money to buy an EVGA GeForce GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 with a Corsair RM 550W 80+ Gold PSU.  :)

I woke up at 00.01 the 24th of December (That's when we celebrate christmas here in Sweden) and installed everything.

Booted up, uninstalled old graphics drivers, tried to install new ones, but it failed all the time. Then I Googled my motherboard, it doesn't support the GTX 980.  :angry:

Well, even if it had supported the graphics card it would have gotten way to hot in that bad HP case, and the cables would not fit. So I took out the graphics card and the PSU and installed the old things.

So I'll have to wait  :(  until my birthday (the 8th of August) when I'm getting a new PC. :D

LOL that sucks dude, but you need to do your research.
