the 2-way 980's or the 3 1080p BenQ gaming monitors. The 2 980's are too overkill, and I regret not buying a SWIFT immediately(pun intended)  :lol:

I've fixed most of my regrets with the case ect but I'm just about to fix my last issue which is the CPU Cooler, looks out of place in my build at the moment.

 

Also the FX-6300 ... isn't a regret as its an amazing budget CPU for performance.

My 550W €140 PSU... Waste of money and there is not a lot of room for upgrades.

idk i like my pc alot

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4

In all honestly..I really wish i did a

 

Asus H97 Pro Gamer

i5- 4460

PSU as well, my idea was to later upgrade to SLI 970's.. and just can't see myself doing that. The PC already runs everything on ultra. Why through more money at it. 

 

just felt I went a bit over board and also went with matching brands for the system. Could of everything a lot cheaper and have the same performance I'm getting right now (Haven't overclocked anything) 

Redstone:
i7-4770 / Z97 / GTX 980 / Corsair 16GB  / H90 / 400C / Antec EDGE / Neutron GTX240 / Intel 240Gb / WD 2TB / BenQ XL24

Obsidian:

MSI GE60 2PE i7-4700HQ / 860M / 12GB / WE 1TB / m.Sata 256gb/Elagto USB HD Capture Card

Razer Deathadder Chroma / Razer Blackwidow TE Chroma / Kingston Cloud2's / Sennheiser 429 / Logitech Z333

NO RAGRETS!

 

But I did buy a DVD reader/burner, which I don't use and makes a boatload of noise when I do.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

investing in a FX 8350 build, should have just spent an extra few months saving, but I'm impatient dammit!

 

I saw the light eventually though :)

Anyway, mine is the Corsair HX1000 I put in there.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

I wish I had an ATX motherboard, I would have crossfired 2 R9 290s in that case. Instead I've decided to stick to one because of pcie bottlenecking (and because after all one is working pretty well anyway).

 

-edit-

 

And maybe getting an RM 850 as opposed to an evga g2. It works great, but maybe I should not have spent as much money on it (although I get most of my stuff on a pretty large discount, I paid about 120 bucks for the psu- still, would have probably paid as much or less for a g2).

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Also I regret getting an AIO. It looks damn nice, but a nice tower heatsink would be way more effective.

That's why I love my motherboard!

 

Micro ATX and it support SLI 16x and 8x :D

 

And it was only £50-60
