I'd say the case itself, even though the Arc Midi R2 only is a temporary case I just hate it. I can't wait til i can get my ass in gear to finnish my 800D :P

Other than that the CPU and GPU could need a upgrade.

Picture in spoiler and 800D buildlog down below.

XFX has truely EXCELLENT service, don't they? I would be pissed at those warranties. That's why I didn't get an XFX R7/R9 version of my 7790, even for better power consumption and such.

Yes, definitely "excellent". Well if you compare it to the warranty of the fraud company who sells only the boxes for the GPU...

Ughhhh the noise in my build. IDK what it is, I'm using some decent fans with rubber screws, and one HDD that really isn't all that loud (I tried it by unplugging it). It sucks cause the fans aren't variable controlled so there're always at full power. Sucks :(

 

Could be vibrating dust filters.

My 560ti.  Not the worst card to be honest, but it's easy to push it to it's max.  I also didn't take the worlds best care of the case when I first built it, so it's a little dinged up.

My current one is my first computer... I over locked with stock heat sink about a year and a half ago. About half a year ago I learned it was a stupid idea...

A busted mass storage drive.  I can't replace it at the moment so no games for a while.

Lack of cable management ability, seriously, all those wires all over the place is driving me nuts.

Oh and water cooling as well, I really need to chill my PC.

Main Gaming Rig: the fact that I have no SSD, front USB is just above my stealthed optical drive so every time I close it, it takes any USB cables with it. Also have way way to much hardware in a $25 NZXT Source 210, like 2 ASUS 7970 DCU2's and an 8350 with a closed loop liquid cooler that is such a tight fit that it will stay installed even if you remove the screws. My eyefinity setup has 3 identical ASUS IPS monitors but the middle one was purchased a month before the others and as a result uses a totally different panel so coloring id difficult to get right.

 

Gaming Notebook: the indicator leds (which there are 9 of) are ridiculously bright. Also the "onkyo speakers" logo that cannot be removed because its painted on. The black rubber painting is almost black, more like dark grey. The built in microphone is on the keyboard so it sounds like an eathquake to anyone on the other end of chat when I am typing if I don't have a headset.

My friend fell onto my PC a while ago, and the front bezel won't re-attach. In addition to that, the side panels don't close properly anymore. (it's especially annoying because it's the efine R4, and the bezel now makes a vibrating noise. Changing fan speed is now annoying aswel) :angry:
