ok i updated the memory cards to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345
and by cooler master cpu, do you mean the power supply? i dont know the computer language.

and ill get the router later, im going to play mostly singleplayer games for a while, and i want to buy the router when i have the money.

 

[TheBigTroll]

lighting is pointless when it costs you money and doesnt do anything. and the fact that you dont stare at your case for hours on end makes it almost completely useless. if you want lighting, get this

[p_Bassman]

there is already a combo deal with the CPU and hard drive. and before changing the mobo to the d3h, i recommended the ud3h + i5 4670k, but you said it was too expensive

no. get rid of the fan. its useless

and actually i just did change the mobo to a ud3h, and is pcpartspicker a safe place to purchase from?

 

[TheBigTroll]

there isnt a big difference. id rather get the d3h but ok.

you dont buy from pcpartpicker. its a site that people use to complie a list of parts and subsequently press the buy button to send them off to the stores

 

[p_Bassman]

does it have a sound chip with it?

 

[TheBigTroll]

yes

 

[p_Bassman]

id avoid wifi if its possible as it usually has a ton of latency. you could however try a powerline solution

i guess a 40 ft long ethernet chord would do.

 

[p_Bassman]

what about thermal paste?

 

[TheBigTroll]

incluided. aftermarket paste isnt much better and is generally a waste of time

 

[p_Bassman]

there isnt a big difference. id rather get the d3h but ok.

you dont buy from pcpartpicker. its a site that people use to complie a list of parts and subsequently press the buy button to send them off to the stores

Why do you prefer the d3h?

 

[TheBigTroll]

its 30 bucks cheaper for not much lost.

 

[p_Bassman]

so i could get this one with the i7, http://pcpartpicker.com/user/exer/saved/#savedbuild_405126

 

[p_Bassman]

nevermind

 

[p_Bassman]

i personally think that the power button on the mobo would be better than using a screwdriver and possibly screwing it up

 

[p_Bassman]

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/exer/saved/1KCE this is possibly my final config, any other suggestions?

 

[TheBigTroll]

you arent going to use the power button more than once and i have yet to use it. i just throw everything into the case and fire it up

fixed it up

[p_Bassman]

and on another forum, someone brought up an ips monitor, whats that?

 

[TheBigTroll]

a monitor that has much better colour accuracy and better viewing angles at a cost of speed. they also will cost more overall compared to your generic TN
