Thank you very much for your reply. My only question is the GPU -- is a 1070 necessary? I was wondering if a rx480 would suffice for the games that I play. Do you have any opinions?
It's been several years since I've built an SFF system, and I'm looking for help from all of you.
1. What will you be doing with this PC? [1] Photography - Lightroom / Photoshop [2] Gaming -- 1440p, games like Starcraft 2, Warhammer with occasional streaming to twitch

This seems like a pretty good deal for an straightforward 1080p IPS. I checked camel^3, and it shows the price usually right at $200, with a very brief stint at a super deal of $120.

Amazon lightning deal good for the next 3 hours. Sennheiser HD 380 headphones for $99. According to camelcamelcamel, this is about $15 below the previous lowest price which makes it seem like a reasonably good deal.

For all of us who were gamer kids in the 90s, this is a pretty great deal.
SEGA 48-Game Mega Arcade Pack
From the comments section, it looks like it's handled via Steam.
This is a worthwhile monitor if you're looking for tons of resolution and aren't interested in gaming. I use it at work every day and love it. There is a limit of 30 hertz refresh due to the HDMI implementation, I think, which is why I recommend against using it for gaming.
Anyway, a nice...
I have a terrible feeling that this is going to be a very simple answer, but I've spent a couple hours reading and troubleshooting without any success.
my setup:
ASROCK Z87 Extreme4 w/ 16gb ram & Intel 4770k

I have 4 Intel 520 240gb SSDs in one 5.25" chassis hooked up to the...
I'm only posting this because this card is obviously in huge demand and wanted to pass along that I see it in stock at Newegg at 9:18am Pacific. The price is terrible.

They have the powercolor 7870 ghz edition for $130 after rebate. Maybe there's something about the sapphire version that I don't know that makes it a better deal?
I bought this in 2009 (I paid $380) and it's one of my most often used lenses. It's super versatile if I have room to move. I find it absolutely fantastic for outdoor portrait-ish stuff like this, for example. It's even more of a steal when considering it's price. For someone who's just...
I'm 6'7, 400+ and I love the embody chair from Herman Miller. (http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/performance-work-chairs/embody-chairs.html) Unfortunately, they're super expensive so I probably won't own one any time in the near future.
I have a pair of Denon AH-D5000 that I absolutely love. (why did Denon discontinue them?) I'm interested in hearing what this planar thing is all about, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if I'd expect much difference compared to what I have now.
according to this blog there is room for a gtx 770 (EVGA GTX770 2GB 02G-P4-2774-KR) in there. According to newegg, that card is 10" x 4.38". Does that help you in determining which card would work?
Would the 770 be fine for FPS, but with slightly lower detailing? I sometimes play TF2 with my friends, and I've been thinking about playing some others with them as well. (payday2, bioshock)
The minimum size is 256gb, but if I can get larger with this budget then I'm certainly OK with that. :)
I don't "really" need it, as I do have a nas that I backup most of my photos/documents to, and the really important stuff goes to amazon glacier. I do, however, much prefer dealing with a...
I haven't built an SFF desktop in about 10 years -- shuttle SB61G2, with a radeon 9600pro purchased from zipzoomfly... 'nuff said -- and I would like to move back to that smaller footprint.
1. What will you be doing with this PC?
gaming and photo editing, in that order.
2. Will you be...
I just bought a second sas controller for one of my servers. (Adaptec RAID 6805E) This card came with two cables that look like the previous breakout cables I'm used to, except there is an 'extra' cable that looks like it could plug straight into the motherboard somewhere. (9 pins, similar to...
If you're looking for strictly an archival type solution where you will very infrequently need to re-download data, Amazon Glacier is very difficult to beat on pricing. ($0.01 per gb) There are some caveats relating to extra fees when deleting data that hasn't been stored for 90 days and...
I'm in the process of building a new workstation/server and I'm trying to decide how the airflow should work and whether or not I need to put the cpu fans on these Cooler Master Hyper 212s.
First, the terrible photos courtesy of my phone.

The CPUs are Intel 2620s...
Perhaps my "about" is a bit looser than other folks' "about" ? Those three together are ~$124, which is still "about" $100 to me. That said, I have seen the yeti does on sale from time to time but not frequently. Also, if you don't need the pop filter, you're down to ~$107 which is close to...
I didn't see it in your list, but it is in the title. Is your SS500 for sale too? I'd be interested in the CM stacker with SS500 considering you've already modded it. I also happen to live in the Seattle area and could pick it up.
