Posted February 2, 2016 Hmm...here's what I want. A fairly reasonable system: 1150 with a 4690k and a 970, a nice 500gb ssd for storage. Oh but I want the thing to be integrated into a 150k apartment. Gotta have a proper case and environment for it right? ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
