Just noticed scan sell the same monitor at the same price. I'll buy from them instead

Let me know if its any good and i will try to lump my Asus off to a friend of mine ;p

I think my 970s has what it takes to power 4k

lol freedomeclipse its been tough living without a pc, i wake up and all i think about is hardware!


really want to beast an x99 build or spend 48 hours gaming straight!

Heres OCuK's stupidity again.... I paid for a i5-4670 non-K and they sent me a 4670K after their previous fuck up of sending me a used CPU. god knows how this company is still in business. Their loss is my gain though. Sadly this CPU is for a friend and its a REAL shame as i wont be overclocking this CPU at all.

My friends never been huge on overclocking so rather then get him parts with OC potential like i used to do back in the old days, ive paired him with a cheap £65 MSI PC Mate motherboard and this here now 4670k

sadly not. I have a 3570k and 8gigs of 1600 ripjaws, but they are destined for a friend of a friends rather late birthday present (and ive already been paid so no bidding warz pls)

I tell you what though - Building a new PC with a Fractal Define R4 makes me want a new case so badly.

the R4 is a GREAT case, Its so spacious inside and theres plenty of room for a 240mm rad or AIO cooler. i got 2 140mm Noctua fans running at probably 800 or 1000rpm at 7v paired with the 2 140mm 1000rpm fans that cam with the case and its honestly so quiet.

I think the R5 would be nicer i think. can take Dual Rads! i would probably get that one when i have some cash to fix up my waterloop and change my case

Its all about the Corsair 760T for me. Ive even contemplated getting a 780T.

Throw in a Corsair H105 with some 120x38mm Nidec Beta V (VA450DC)fans courtesy of Mr Rcoon and just under volt the shit out of them to keep them quiet but still provide enough cooling. Im sure that even at 5v they would probably shift more air then any corsair fan would.

::EDIT::

what i find ridiculous is that the 760T is so overpriced.

(Price inc shipping which is about £10)
760T is £161.69@SCAN
780T is £161.26@SCAN

Though with that said, you can buy from retailers that have free delivery over £100

Call them... they may be able to give you free shipping

And why would they give me free shipping?

 

[Finners]

To get your sale, they basically give it away if your a hexus forum member with something silly like 10 posts.

I'd ring them up and say novatech/Amazon sell it for just under £150 with free delivery. Sure they will price match.

Had to have a look to compare prices here, love the case but it is pricey, $259 here, but the shop is 5 minutes away so no delivery fee.

Dunno about computex but FC4 is more or less FC3 with a few extra missions and possibly mechanics etc etc. I bought the game but never played it even once. Ive seen some youtube playthroughs it and it honestly doesnt inspire me to play it at all tbh.

@RCoon

Not a bad band. But i wish they didnt conform into the 'scenefag' kind of dress style with servings of controversial 'crabcore' style guitar wankings, I find the video almost cringing to watch because of this, but I enjoy this band. Part of me wants to believe that they only dressed this way for the video or that their record label told them to do it because it will drive all the girls crazy.

I sincerely hope they will grow out of that phase.

Did you honestly buy that 2600k? theres almost no difference between an OC'd 2500k and 2600k. Just because it has hyperthreading might add a few fps here and there but thats about it.

::EDIT::

Also got some EK Vardar fans coming. I know the corsair fans that come with the H105 are loud and Vardar's as close to Gentle Typhoons as they come

In that case thats a good deal then. now all you have to do is worry about getting a better motherboard
