Right now mine is like 71 with a 212 EVO, but I have really shit thermal paste and a super quiet and fairly slow NZXT fan.

Id say very good :D

I have a GPU from 2013 (2 years old already!) and it plays anything I throw at it on High settings on 1080p, though its time for upgrade may come soon as I can trade it in to Microcenter for what I paid for it, that may go towards a GTX 980 ^_^

Excellent

 

My 780ti, 4770k seem to play every game at 1440p just fine, most of them on Ultra with AA, and some of the latest AAA titles on High still

 

it handles my adobe CC work loads beautifully too

 

(my M18x is still ticking along well, handling most games at 1080p high/ultra just fine too, and my clevo is still a tiny powerhouse I can take with me anywhere)

How is it better than the SG13 then?

Still smaller, the only reason Silverstone made the SG13 was to make the mod we do to make ATX PSUs fit come standard and make it fit a little bit longer of a GPU by also doing the same mod we do to our SG05s to, well fit longer GPUs. Except they made the entire case actually longer and taller, we just cut a part out in the front.

Can't complain at all. It's simply Excellent. If I did complain it would be that the process of building is actually on equal grounds of enjoyment as actually gaming on the system I built.

I could honestly sit in a room all day building PCs and taking breaks for gaming, rather than the other way around (like it is now).

Compared to consoles, it's leaps and bounds ahead. Compared to what I could do, however, it's potential is bottlenecked by my monitors.

Currently I live with AMD mobile integrated graphics which isn't bad (even Intel's mobile integrated graphics isn't bad either)...

Though I should clarify for World of Warcraft on or close to Good settings and with an i5 2430M, A8 4500M, and A8 6410.

 

I do however plan to truly ascend to the Glorious PC Master Race come next year, as I was actually never a peasant because I never saw consoles as superior I just sort of didn't mind them because I wasn't really informed and figured that it was just easier and cheaper to stick to consoles (Xbox 360) and I wasn't as interested in gaming.

       (Still not sure if I'm that interested in gaming.) I mean there are quite a few games that sound really interesting to me besides World of Warcraft. (I have about 23 games in my Steam wishlist.)

 

As for my hopes to get into gaming (and content creation), I want to build something that has a sleek and refined aesthetic like Apple products, however I want something that won't be held back either because it's an All in One with mediocre cooling or a workstation/server grade cylinder.

 

So I figured that I can have my cake and eat most of it. (There are some trade offs, such as OS X since I prefer the look and feel of OS X as a daily driver over Windows though I can easily get a similar feel with Ubuntu/Elementary/Fedora and some tweaks. I know I could make a hackintosh however I don't want to risk the chance of Apple randomly deciding to start a witch hunt on hackintosh users and suing them for six figure sums.).

 

Essentially this is what I want to build come mid 2016

I'm considering putting the two SSDs into a RAID 0 or maybe just making them a spanned volume and maybe either throwing in a smaller SSD for one of the Linux distros I mentioned earlier or partitioning a little off one of the two SSDs for one of the linux distros I mentioned earlier. I do plan on making an 8TB Ubuntu file and back up server.

 

 

As for how I voted, all 3 CPUs/APUs I listed earlier couldn't handle much more than WoW at Fair to Good settings (High on the A8 6410 laptop is sometimes possible in WoW however it can become less than pleasurable).

I would say excellent, ever since I replaced my 610 for a 970; pretty much max out every game I have, except for my heavily modded skyrim. Only thing I would change is my keyboard because it takes up too much space on my desk.

I5 4670k and evga ssc 970 run every game at 1080p maxed out and enjoyable. It is a shame that of gaming is so expensive though. 350 for a gpu is just silly.

Currently I'm not playing demanding AAA games because of my crappy laptop GPU. Most of the time i play online games that i can max out without any problems at all such as CS:GO, LoL, etc

This is why I'm planning to build a new PC
