Posted November 27, 2015 Looks pretty good, a 980 Ti might be overkill for 1080p, but at least it'll last you quite some time Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner! One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile. Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

Posted November 27, 2015 do not, do not, do NOT buy corsair fans. Do yourself a MASSIVE favor. DO-NOT-BUY Corsair fans. They are the loudest "premium" fans you can possibly buy, seriously, save some money and your sanity and get some bitfenix, phanteks, cougar, be quiets, or noctua if you can afford the last two.

They're literally all abysmal. And yes, that 8db difference in stats should speak worlds, but those specs on boxes are anything but reliable. In real world tests, the corsair fans are far, far worse than those box stats. The bit fenix will be far better, trust me mate. There's no reason to get shitty fans, when you can get good fans for the same price.

Posted November 27, 2015 i'll look into other fans, what bought me over was the purple leds Looks are very deceiving. There's no point in buying clothes that look good, if they feel absolutely horrid to wear, and make you want to tear your limbs off. Just like theres no point to buying fans that are loud as shit, just because they're purple. - If you want LEDS, get an LED strip, don't get LED fans, because they usually are complete garbage.
