Anyone have any thoughts on the Fidelio X1? (Possibly the X2 that just came out)

Anyone want to help me out here?

What does the 990 have that im looking for that the hd650 doesnt? And what 990 version are we talking about?

Don't put everyone in your basket. Mine is silent.

Would it really make a difference vs the $40 alternative?

Entry level at $170? No thank you. Thanks for the suggestion though. I was actually suggested to buy http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Stereo-Headphone-Amplifier-SD-DAC63057/dp/B009WN7QT4 And it seems general consensus is HD650. So is this combo what I am looking for? And when do black...

Trying to choose between HD650's, HE400, and Philips X1. I listen to music similar to Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, Lindsey Taylor, Fallout Boy, The Fray, ColdPlay, etc. I also play ALOT of video games ranging from CSGO to skyrim to MMO's. Looking for something that can get me headbanging...

Non-refererence cards should be out a week or two after reference. You should just wait for it. Gigabyte has already announced there card will be out by end of September.

If it is at or above the 780ti at $450, then there are going to be soe ridiculous price drops. I don't see that happening.

http://videocardz.com/51117/exclusive-nvidia-geforce-gtx-880-released-september $450ish dollars? There is no way it will be that cheap and be at or above the 780ti performance. If it is...nope. No point getting my hopes up. Not even sure if videocardz is a reliable source.

I highly doubt this will be any better than a 780 ti by more than 5-10%. More about power efficiency and temperatures blah blah.

What hurts the most is that I'll be waiting for this to release to build my first pc, and the 20nm (or less) Nvidia cards are speculated to come first half 2015. Should be a massive performance gain, yet to soon to upgrade. Not like I'll need to, but the itch...

So it's actually a bad thing huh. Sucks, board I was looking at had it and I was curious. On another note, what are some of the better boards to buy at the ~150 price point. I feel like boards like the hero are just overkill for me. All I want is something reliable, that has a lot of options...

I know Intel is tried and true, but is the Killer just as good? Think it's version E2201.

I'm not too fluent in motherboard specs; what exactly does the gaming 5 bring to the table that the Sniper doesn't? (in layman's terms)
