Corsair Carbide Air 540, really nice case - has a whole separate compartment to stuff cables and your PSU.

Haven't seen the separate PSU part before, such a good idea.

What's with the disk drives though?

how do you have time to play games at 29?

sometimes i wont be able to play as much as i would like. Especially since i ll be starting a new job in a couple weeks. will play when i have time to de-stress.

Cant help but think that monitor is a waste.. as long as its 120+ hertz.. you could have bought atleast 2 monitors.
Just having 1 monitor is boring.

i have my old monitor which i ll keep off to the side for more screen realestate, wont use it for gaming though.

my old montior is 24inch 1920 x 1200 mva panel 60hz. it will be nice to have up for more screen room.

you were smart to get big drives for the air case. i think that was the case with limited hard drive cages. Other then that though that build looks 100% clean. great job. what r ur specs? fav games?

Makes sense, if there isn't a reliable seller for parts. Here, we're lucky with Newegg and (for others) Amazon, which are pretty solid with their customer service in my experience.

The companies themselves can be terrible for warranty though. Kingston is awesome to deal with. Intel is a nightmare. Western Digital will only send you refurb drives, even if yours fails 10 minutes into use. Corsair was okay, but slow.

FYI, if anyone is ever curious about durability of specific brand components, ask me. I've killed motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, and even RAM back in my competitive overclocking days.

heard alot of qc has gone to **** these days. asus and gigabyte mb reviews are ramped up with people saying this. I still know that i got an old nforce 4 asus motherboard (must be over 10 years old now) still running fine at my mothers house. Wonder if these new asus boards will last as long.

Didnt you quit your job a few weeks ago...strong money decisions

[vietcong666]

The 780t case is big. And by big i mean its massive. Here is how big it actually is:



Thats a tripple fan 13 inch video card.

too bad so many kids buy cheats for games these days though

[AWillis]

That build is even worse. No ssd. No over clock able processor. ****ty power supply. No one need a DVD burner. The motherboard is probably garbage.


You are a dumbass. Add the price of his monitor and it's barely less money for a way **** tier pc on every aspect except the gpu.

[freeburn]

Didn't watch, on mobile


Edit: LOL that's about all a cd drive is good for these days

[FSUbound]

You only use the ssd for ur os?

[MoeCrusader07]

Always enjoy these threads.

I had two pretty nice rigs 4-5 years ago. I miss them quite a bit but am planning a build here n the next two months or so. Have some money saved up. Need to catch up a lot on all the new technology. When I built the previous ones Sandybridges had just come out so it's been a while.

Congrats on the new rig.

[Livestock]

Going to give my opinion.

Make of it what you want ;-)

I think you are over doing it on the CPU and Monitor.

You can have a monitor closer to you, it's the same ****ing thing as having a gigantic screen...and 144hz only...

I would go down to a 300$ CPU and a 300-400$ monitor and put the savings into a monster GPU - this way, you would optimize the use of your HZ on your monitor...you will never reach 165 FPS on that monitor and if you do, it's way too much. IMO

Other than this, it's a beats of a PC, congrats mate.

Monster GPU > Crazy monitor + crazy CPU

I just built this set up.

Intel i5-4460 3.2GHz
8gb ram
240gb Samsung SSD
GTX970
Blu Ray player

I have this monitor

I want to run dual monitors and thinking of getting this one. Do you think the GTX970 could handle it?

You bought a laptop for 2300 with a gtx 970m...you dun goofed hard. They have 980m laptops for 1300 and gtx 980 laptops for 2300. Seriously return that laptop and get a better deal.
