I kinda ditched the old Helios plan, and completely restarted it. I actually am final on most of the parts here.

These will be purchased throughout American Thanksgiving and Black Friday (Canadian Thanksgiving is in October), and I has the cash sitting around to purchase it, excluding the RX 580, which I will get later.

 

I have 60 CAD (Canadian rupees, probably worth a us penny) laying around that I don't know what to do with. Mouse? Keyboard? Audio?

Wont reusing old parts technically make it more like a Helios 1.5? What keyboard mouse do you have right now?

Actually, Helios I never existed, it was just like a proposal. This build is derived from a build I named "Cloverdale", which is my existing semi-broken rig.

 

I'll be using a cheap logitech $5 mouse and G710+ MX Brown for now, and get a better mouse with my leftover budget and a RGB Blue switch keyboard during Christmas or something.

Id suggest the Logitech g502, great feel and shape. Big enough for my big hands and has rgb if its the proteus core version

Yeah, I think I'll get one of those, usually C$50-60 during Black Friday/Boxing Day

But will it run the Helios wallpaper?

Perhaps???? IDK what that is.

 

 

NEWS: Just recieved the MX300 and FireCuda, now 2TB. Define C TG is on the way from Newegg Canada. Will post pics later.

Just installed standoffs and drives into Define C TG. Have more homework so I will leave it at that for now.
