    NZXT Kraken G10 with corsair hydro cooling on a R9 290

    I am going to buy 2 r9 290 soon and so far as water cooling goes best solution i have found so far is to use g10 + h55, anything above h55 in my opinion is just an overkill, installing heat sink under the fan of g10 ia good option and combining that with h55 will certainly keep thing cool, of...

    Photo/video editing, gaming, rendering PC

    Thanks both of you, as far as RAM goes, maximus and gigabyte support up to 3200/3300 OC mhz, so after overclocking it should be fine, am still thinking between amd and nvidia, opengl vs cuda cores, firepro and quadro are expensive and i wouldn"t buy the less expensive versions over 290/x and 295...

    i5 4670k or i7 4770k

    i5 will do more than a good job for gaming and light rendering, just make sure you get the k version to use all of the potential, as far as RAM goes, for extrem gaming these days 8gb is more than enough, for photoshop 50+ layers, video encoding, rendering etc.... 16gb is the way to go, 32gb is...

    i7 920 to 4770k worth the upgrade?

    The difference will be huge, about 50% most likely, there is an entire 1 Ghz difference between the two, but it is not only the clock speed that makes this a good upgrade, new architecture is employed, not only does it make it faster but also spends a lot less electricity also, 50% less, in a...
