My CX600 to any fanless PSU.

And my 350D to Define R4.

I have an R4, definitely recommend getting one, I've had no issues so far and airflow is great

Just my GPU. Purpousely been holding back on upgrading because Star Citizen will eat all GPUs on the market alive in intensive combat, except maybe the 780Ti, so I'm going to wait for either a voltage unlocked 780Ti or something better that may come soon (like a new dual gpu card)

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I'm holding back for much the same reason. I really want to see what comes out next year with Maxwell/Pirate Islands. Also Star Citizen will have Mantle support (who knows how much it will help, that game is a beast).

Yeah, I have the windowed version so if you got no window it might be even quieter

I have mine fitted with all Fractal 140mm's my whale of a CPU cooler is running at bare minimum RPM, PSU fan shuts off when not gaming.

 

Thing sounds dead, loudest thing is the hard drives, if there weren't lights you'd have a hard time telling if it was on or not.

I would add an ssd to my system. The only part i would upgrade for now would be my cooling. A H100 would cool much better than my cooler and some nice fans would be good also

I would (will) add more RAM to make it a nice round 16GB. I would also change my CPU to a 4770 but then I would have this 3570 laying around....I could always make another computer, I'm slowly accumulating enough stuff to make another one.
