    EVGA GTX 970 SSC or FTW+

    As the solution states you're probably better off building your own PC. I on the other hand got a deal for my Dell XPS 8700 for $600 vs the normal cost of $1200 I believe.

    Asetek 92mm liquid cooling compatible with Dell XPS 8700

    I'm a bit worried that my new Dell XPS 8700 will get a little hot. I was wondering if anyone knew if the Asetek 545LC 92mm liquid cooling would be compatible inside the Dell XPS 8700. I know the dimensions of the case are some what limited. Has anyone tried to install one of these or know if it...
