I'm not sure if its possible to do what I am looking for or not. Here is the setup: My office has my home theater/gaming pc, basic specs i5 4690K, 16 GB Ram, 500 GB SSD (Games storage) and an EVGA 1070 8gb video card. Its connected to dual 27" 1080P monitors via displayport cables. The whole...

I finished my build a few weeks ago, but just got back from Disneyland, so I wanted to post the results. Obviously, being my first build, cable management is not my strongest point, but I was able to get everything in place, and in some semblance of order. I briefly tried to OC using the default...

Here is my final build specs, all of the parts should be here on Tuesday. The one thing I'm trying to figure out still is the arrangement/orientation of the cooling fans.

As another cost saving measure, should I skip the dual hard drive raid configuration temporarily and go for a single large storage drive? I am concerned about saving crucial data, but I do have a 100 gb one drive account from Microsoft, so not having dual drives wouldn't be too bad at first....

I found a killer deal on an i7 4790 haswell processor for $239 brand new. That's $10 more than the 4770k i5 processor I was also looking at. My question is whether it would be better to get the unlocked i5, or the locked i7 for a home theater/gaming pc. I don't intend on overclocking immediately...
