Nice case! I checked it out on newegg, it looks good. Thanks for the suggestion dasulman, I'll look furthur into it. For a mid tower it's pretty good with organization, looks, and airflow. Awesome amount of fan mounts! Might be the case I'll go for. Again, thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, so I've done a significant amount of research and I've come up with three case, but try as I might, I can't definitively say that one is the best of the three. They are as follows: Corsair 760t Arctic White Antec 1200 V3 Thermaltake Core V71 Other case suggestions are welcome, but they...

If you're planning on adding more RAM in the future don't go for two 4gb sticks! Waste of money!!! And also, k processors are better cuz you can squeeze a higher clock speed out of them. Your GPU is good enough for the rest of the build, BUT SERIOUSLY CONSIDER GETTING A BETTER ONE IF YOUR BUDGET...

And I was told my many sources that single sticks were better because they leave more space for upgrades. Which I intend to do in the future

A range of games really. Battle field 4 most likely, Far Cry 4, and definetly AC Unity. Oh and BioShock infinite. Maybe others. These ones would be the most taxing. Would my system run them well?

Hello everyone! This is my first PC build and I am looking for some advise. I have been researching for about half a year now and I think I have finalized most aspects of the build. Here it is: CPU: AMD FX-8370 CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U12S Thermal compound: Arctic silver high density...

Hey badboyrog2. Ok, how about clock speeds? AMD has speeds on average 0.5 GHz higher than Intel (even with overclocking). And how much 3D rendering/video editing/general multitasking would I have to do to make buying an AMD CPU worth it? Also, I'm not sure how in depth you went with my build...

Ok, thanks to all of you for your answers. I have one big question. Why Intel?? I am aware that Intel has better performance per core, but the issue is that it is so expensive, and I get fewer cores, and a slows clock speed. I am not going to be doing serious gaming, plus many people say that...

I agree with everyone else, scrap the PSU. Go for a good manufacturer like Corsair. If you're on a very low budget, then you can go for the best a-10 APU AMD has, and then you can get rid of the GPU if you want the best performance for a very low budget. I would recommend going for a CPU and a...

Hello everyone, This is my first PC build and I am just looking for some advise as to whether my components will go together well, whether there is something I overlooked, or if there is a better component I should be using that has a similar price point. Here is a link to my build...

What about the NZTX Phantom 410? It has more fan mounts than the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2, supports similar water cooling options, and overall I don't see a difference, even in price. In the looks department, this is just my personal opinion, the phantom 410 is more aesthetically appealing. Is...

Who needs to buy a product? DIY ALL THE WAY!! (Jks)

There are many SSDs which are "good", but personally I would go with the Samsung 850 EVO series because they have high read write speeds, and they back their drives up with a 5 year warranty. You will pay a bit more though. Also, what will you be using this for? If you're not doing something...

Corsair cases are very reliable and you will pay more for it. Are aesthetics at all a factor? The issue is that there are many reliable cases, but some are meant to travel and thus are built tougher. What do you plan on doing with it? And where will the computer be? (I'm trying to find out how...

Hey M0j0jojo. Thanks for your opinion, I was wondering if I'd be able to mount a 120mm or 140mm and still have one drive available since there are 5 available slots (5.25"). Also, since there are no fan mounts pre-installed, how would I go about the mounting process?
