What’s the worst part of your rig?

MeltyMoon

Everything I bought was the best performance for my budget each time, the only problem I have is that I want to get a case that supports watercooling and then buy something like an H100i or whatever.

I do not hate the c70 I just think that I would have chosen something else now I have it, probably and R4. Just not as big a fan of the ammo box long term.

I've got an Antec Three Hundred Two case and my HDDs are properly mounted but my SSD isn't, it's just sitting on top of a HDD. My PC never moves and it's working just fine though so I cba to buy a proper mount for it.

My rig still does not have SSD.  Every time I'm ready to pull the trigger, I still can't convince myself enough to justify purchasing one just to load the OS onto it (maybe I should hate myself for that).

 

Color of my RAM sticks do not match (Black & Blue).  Ruins my Red & Black theme.

I want to switch to a mini-itx build but i have 2 video cards and an ATX board,

and i dont want to sell all of them just to buy components with the same performance just to fit inside a smaller case.

My lack of a SSD.

 

Getting an SSD is the best thing you can do, to any system :)

 

Anyways, I hate the handles on my Bitfenix Prodigy. No one said they were bad, so I use it for transport, and the small sharp handles dig into your skin, and is an overall very bad system. Flat metal handles would have been much better.

That it is a laptop

same here, i mean I got a nice gaming one that was close to top of the line 3 yrs ago when i got it, but still no future for it because there is next to no ability to upgrade it, which is why I will be building a desktop soon.

I'm not a huge fan of the grey/ titanium trim color, will paint it black, red, or blue. 

 

Also hate the noise of the stock fans, will be getting quiet Noctuas or equivalent all around.

I have a faulty motherboard so I can't use SLI, but I'm too lazy to RMA it.

My GPU doesn't match the color scheme.

The PSU isn't fully modular.

Stock Intel heatsink.

Case has no fan filters.

Keyboard is dying.

Monitor doesn't have any options in terms of ergonomics and on top of that it's TN.

 

I'm trying to address most of the problems this year.

My old GTX 580, hot and noisy but at least it still plays everything I have at high to ultra.

 

I also need to swap out my blue led's to white. I'm so over blue.

Nothing to see here - move along.
