My custom built PC

[FrostyHunta]

Hi everyone, I finished making a custom built PC. Now before I order it, I wanted to ask you guys if i went overkill on the H80i. now I think I would say what I am going to do with my PC. I obviously play video games but I also record, stream, edit Etc. So please tell me if there's something I need to get, or change. Thanks!

The MSI GTX 980 is fine. There is always a manufacture defect which slips out. it can happen to any other GTX 980.
As mentioned, go for Z97.
I doubt you need an enterprise 3TB hard drive. Just get a standard 7200rpm with 64MB 3TB HDD.
I would say 120GB is small for now, you probably want at least 250GB with a SSD especially if you going to put a game such as GTA V on a SSD with your OS and other applications.

The problem with the poster's 970 was linked to lack of product testing.
Two firms use the buyer as production testing/ control,and frankly I would be tearing my hair out. Time is money. If it happened to me I think I would actually file for damages.
This is not a very honest approach and if you want to really see which firms are using this method take a look on amazon at the companies who offer crawling assistance to complainers on amazon reviews. If they offered an extra graphics card (or even a big upgrade) as recompense it would be acceptable but they do not.
Avoid.

That would be your own opinion and experience. Why would they offer an extra graphic card or an upgrade when you only paid for one. The problem is that the owner left it for two months before reporting it. If he/she reported to the seller within the week of receiving it, you would probably get another card or a refund.

Alright, I will make changes and post it in this tread.

Stick with the H80i. The MSI GTX 970 was already fine really but the gigabyte GTX 970 is also good. Most GTX 970 are decent.

Alright, I wanted to stick with the red theme anyways, thanks for the help.
