And i want a one where i can fit these parts in. And also some keyboard advice. (pls don't de-rail and talk about the parts that i have / want to buy. i just need advice on the case and keyboard) Don't care about the money Edited May 6, 2014 by Buk Lau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingletron Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hopefully all the sand wont kill this epic build, gg buk lau also where do you get this money lol (its the oil isnt it jk) also get a mechanical one, since you're going for razer take the Razer Blackwidow 2014 (stealth/default) still no gta5 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranHorse Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Can you link the case and tell me the size of the radiator, which pump and how its mounted currently. Edited May 5, 2014 by BranHorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bp~ Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) holy shit, go buk +1 In regards to your keyboard, I hope you find it appropriate to go mechanical because.... clicky noises rule! If thats the case, do a little research on what color switches you want. (Cherry mx switches) Blues are the super clicky ones, browns are blues without the clicky but still feel nice. Reds are linear without the nice tactile bump, and blacks are stiffer. http://www.keyboardc...nical-switches/ I'm using blues and they are great, I wish I could try browns or reds. I also bought 4 pink keycaps for my wasd keys cause im a lil fruityboy.

BranHorse Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Is the cpu going to be water cooled as well (only gpu stated above) and have you done any research/have any experience? Heres my case vote or the current primo by phanteks. Do not think its released yet but as you can see in the review it puts cases that cost 3 times as much to shame. Can list more but want to see your water cooling plans first. Can link some helpful links if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) "water cooled" lel. Nice build. You should look into the Zalman Series cases. I've got a Zalman z11 and its going great. The parts you're buying just makes me think why tbh. I spent $1,500 on a build, but that amount dayum.

BranHorse Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) I have no experience in the past. This is the first build (and last one) I don't have any CPU cooling. So some advises would be greatly appreciated You wanna cool that cpu wayyyyyy before you think about setting up a gpu. Here's a link you should read up on. http://www.overclock...-water-cooling/ If you have no experience with wc then you gotta do the research or risk your build. Not to hard but easy to make a mistake. Also everything needs to be accounted for before buying your parts. For example most gpu blocks are made for only reference cards etc, while only a hand full of non reference cards actually have blocks that will work for them. There are universal blocks but they aren't very appealing. A good cpu loop will cost you around 200 bucks with a kit such as http://www.frozencpu...ter.html?tl=g30 Or http://www.frozencpu...ter.html?tl=g30 which has the same rad you listed above. Without the kit be prepared to spend some cash. Adding a gpu is also a good amount of money. TL;DR Read that link come back to me with questions. I love configuring loops and making rigs look sexy but functional. Like a hot chick that cooks and cleans.
