I was questioning the NVMe, i think ill swap to a standard ssd

for some reason he wants custom liquid cooling, i guess he thinks it looks cool or something
mx master because, wireless
ill check out the monitor in a sec

i think ill make it a 7600k and then get a 1080, might get a 1080ti, but ill decide once pcpp is back up

I'm crying because you mentioned the 7600K

just a question, is there any way you can convince him to switch to AMD?

Leaves a hundred for keyboard. If he wants a second monitor I could probably get some space for that by cutting on the CPU cooler and mobo.

Also, if your friend is willing you could get windows from kinguin.net instead for $30 or just use windows unactivated (you just have a watermark on the background and can't customize a few things). Though if they don't like the sketchiness or would like a full copy then they could pay the full $90.

idk why but ping on CMD works on PCPP

Might be because of cloud flare stuff. Or maybe it got back just as you pinged.

But do you need 750w?

Also I don't think the x62 works in that case.

EDIT: Derp I put the x62, swap that for an x52

Ah, then get that board instead. Maybe you could save a bit on the CPU cooler, maybe get something like the Celsius S24 instead (just lose the rgb).
