I either launch games directly through the launchers like Steam and Battlenet or I hit the Windows key and start typing the name of the game. My desktop never shows as I always have many windows open and tiled across my monitors!

I enjoyed the first Serious Sam as a LAN game to play with friends in real life. I haven't been much interested in any of the later releases though.

I am not too interested in one right now but by the time I buy something it should be under MSRP! My 1080ti still does quite well with the older games I'm playing on my current 144hz 2560x1440 LG 27GL850.

Yes, for me going from a single core 2.6-2.8ghz S939 Athlon 64 3000+ with 2gb of DDR400 and an AGP ATI 9600 pro to a Q6600(at 3.6ghz) with 2gb of DDR2 1066 and a BFG 8800gt 512mb gpu was a large boost. I do think that one the largest all around improvements I'll ever appreciate would be when I...

They are still around in other markets. http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapc.php?mid=2&subid=321&lang=en

They said in the post that it is being used to drive their other monitors so the 1080s will properly drop to idle clocks.

Hello, I'm interested in knowing more about that geode and the cool stained glass lamp you have there. May I please have a better picture of the two and perhaps an overall shot of the desk? You can PM me if you don't want to post in here. Thanks for any reply! :)

Are you planning on only using the computer as a source? If you still want to have it with working 5.1 for your media and games you could try to make it work using the analog outputs of your sound card to each amplifier you have dedicated to whatever group of speakers. It's just going to be...

You could always just get a spare back panel for the 540 as it will fit on both sides of the case. I wouldn't mind a spare windowed panel to toss on the backside of my 540, especially if I do go with a custom loop, but that would mean I'd actually have to manage that side of the case!

Don't get the MSI Armor 1080ti, get one with a better cooler.

I also still have my ti4600 vivo card.

Some big Genelecs you have there.

Yeah I'd be wanting to add my 1080ti or whatever other card down the line. I'd rather have my GPU on water than my CPU if I had a choice.

I'm still using my H110, the computer has ran 24/7/365 for the past 4 years or so. One of the fans started making noise so I bought some "quiet" 3000rpm Noctuas as replacements. I've been looking at swapping over to a custom loop but I want to see how my delidding attempt on this 4790k goes...

I use a Philips BDM4065UC that runs 3840x2160 at 60hz via displayport from 2-3 feet away daily. I use it more like having multiple monitors most of the time as I have several applications and even a windowed game or video up at one time on the screen.

I have a 1070 and a 4790k now and at 3840x2160 it's pretty playable at ultra settings with MSAA at 2x while just running around doing world quests. I haven't really raided since I stopped in November, which was before I got the 1070 and 3840x2160 monitor so I haven't even done any real content...

I don't notice any noise that stands out with my 1070 G1 but maybe I have a higher noise floor in my room.

I went from GTX 680 2gb SLI to a single GTX 1070 at 2560x1440 96hz and it was well worth it. I mostly play games like WoW and CSGO that had already ran great on just a single GTX680 as I had SLI disabled for those two games specifically. I play CSGO at low settings and at a resolution of...

I love it.

Yeah, I'm still on a 680 SLI setup and the 980ti is the only card I have considered as an all around upgrade. I have $400 cad total in these gtx680 cards and I bought them while the 770 was still $400+ for a single card so a 980ti is a bit too much money for me at the moment If I played more...

I guess I'll start it off with the setup I'm currently using to break in the new year! On the hardware side of things I would like to pick up a single 980ti to replace my 2gb 680 cards in SLI but they are still around $750-850 used in Canada! Other than building myself a desk out of...

Looking good. You may want to experiment with the spacing and toe-in of the speakers and see if you can find a position that improves the soundstage and stereo imaging a bit more.

I have a 5.1 setup and headphones on this computer. I use the speakers for most stuff and the headphones really only get used for CS:GO.

1. Do you already, or would you consider liquid cooling your GPU using a solution such as Corsair’s Hydro Series Liquid cooling bracket plus the Corsair Hydro Series liquid CPU cooler? I don't currently liquid cool my GPUs but it is something I have been wanting to do for a very long time...

I use headphones for games like Counter Strike Global Offensive where I need the positional cues to know where somebody is located. I use speakers for pretty much every other game, when I play something like WoW I usually have the sound off anyways and I am listening to music or watching some...

I'll go with C as I buy PSUs for the performance first and everything else is just vanilla icing on the cake! Currently my case is the Corsair Air 540 so I wouldn't get much out of the white colour as it's hidden in the back side! I was thinking it would be cool to get another windowed...

Some people don't like to shut down everything in the background just to play a game. In my case when I was playing WoW and leaving stuff like my browser open I was running into issues at 8gb of ram so I moved up to 16gb.

The only experience I've had with Asus motherboards in my own personal builds have been a TUSL2-C with an overclocked Pentium 3 which still ran last time I powered it up. I currently have an Asus P5KPL-VM and E2220 running in my dads computer and it's been flawless too. Hopefully I will be...

I'm quite happy with my 27" 2560x1440 at 96-120hz right now.

Jumped ship? I'm not really a fanboy so that term doesn't apply to me. :p ATI also made AGP cards for a while after I bought my 9600pro but the situation I was in at the time was either buy into pci-e with money I didn't really have or continue with the AGP platform and reuse all the parts in...

Hmm, my HiS 5850 1gb lasted for over 3 years from late 2010 to early 2014 , 8800gt for about 3 years from November 2007 to the 5850 launch. I'm not sure how long I had my AMD 9600 Pro AGP card for but it likely lasted the longest for me, partially because I was locked in on the AGP platform...

No it is +100, you can just check your stats in the character panel...

You should also hook the Energy up!

With the HX750 you would be able to run all of that and a 2nd GTX670. You have more than enough power. :p

The only heatsink I used so far with the 450D was a Thermalright Venomous X which is 160mm tall. The way the rear fan is mounted may also cause problems with larger heatsinks such at the ones with dual heatpipe towers.

Yes, I've heard several complaints about noise from the G500 mouse. The one I have would squeal a bit when it was being moved.

I have one here that was running a secondary system of mine for a month and I quite like it. The capability for a lot of airflow with dust filters on the fan mounts most likely to be intakes and good room for clean cable management. I believe it uses the same hard drive cage as a few of...

I have one and I really like it. The fact that the two 5.25" bays are vertical bugged me a bit as did only having two 3.5" mounts on the motherboard side. I would have preferred the option to move those drives to the psu chamber and have room for another three 120mm/two 140mm fans in...

Yeah the 5850/5870 were selling pretty good for a while, I remember wanting to buy a 2nd 5850 last summer as I was seeing them for $50. I got paid $140 for my 5850 in January as I found a GTX 670 locally for $100 which was such a steal putting money back in my pocket. :cool: I got some good...

I'm glad to hear you got taken care of. I have a pair of GTX 670 and 680s from MSI and I'm hoping not to have to send any back. :P
