Avoid the g1 gaming from gigabyte at all costs.

that model in particular is horrid, absolutely horrid.

 

I bought two of them, against recommendations because they were on flash sale at the store near me, regret it so much. Both of them have had fans that failed within the first two months of regular gaming use. One even tore itself off of the mounting bracket. I've had to replace all 4 fans, two on each, with replacement 87mm fans. Worse yet, I can't even liquid cool them, or get an aftermarket cooler for them because of gigabytes retarded non-reference design that NO ONE supports.
