"The freedom to choose"

 

So many political jokes that can be made....

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

17 inch monitor is the biggest anybody will ever want.  no point going bigger than that, you cant even look at the whole thing at once!  17 inch is perfect.

17? Nah too huge. The human peripheral vision is blurry. Only our immediate line of sight is actually visible. I would say 12 inch CRT screens are perfect.

Good point.  Also, 540 mb of hard drive space is way more than anybody will ever need.  Also, if you plan on playing video games, buy a nintendo.  computers are not for gaming.
