I wish I had gone to them like I had wanted to in the first place but let somebody talk me out of it. I will warranty the HyperX ones and then use them in another build I guess.

Would you be so kind and sweet to post the specs? My friend Mia wants to build a new rig and she wanted to buy dem Ripjaws. Apparently she’ll get an i7 6700k and she’s also planning to get something like a GTX 1070. But she has no idea which PSU should she get nor should she go with the air cooler or some sick AIO or even motherboard. From the looks of it, your rig looks sexy and packed and I could use some info. FOR DEM RESEARCH PURPOSES!

Katsuo if she plugs it all into pcpartpicker.com it’ll tell her how much power she needs.

ShiftySatchmo She needs a brand. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t go below 750W. \o/

Katsuo I’ve had good luck with both corsair and Thermaltake for PSUs. I know a lot of people like EVGA but I hate them as much as you hate ASUS.

Katsuo by the way, Ryzen is out in March so she should see the price and performance on those before buying an i7.

Sir_diealot Thank youuuu~
I will forward this to her and tell her to put all the things in pcpartpicker so she knows what to buy!

ShiftySatchmo Thermaltake is in Croatia like a forgotten treasure. Nowhere to be found. But she had an eye on a Corsair PSU so I guess she’ll go with that one. Or maybe EVGA because you get goodies with it XD
Also, she’s getting that i7 for free. XD

She was here at one time I thought and then went back there to being an admin or am I thinking of another?

Sir_diealot She was here at the beginning. Created a Music post here on GX and after that she left. She got sick from the time when we were talking about GTribe. Tried a few times to convince her to come here but ehh. Well, it’s her choice \o/
I know she’s still on GT as Centurion.

Yea she and I both were complaining a lot about that, I guess I am a little more thick skinned when it comes to that stuff, though I came close to leaving because of it as well.

Sir_diealot But you are here and that’'s what rocks! She’ll eventually join us when I say to her that I’ll buy her a GTX 1080Ti or something if she joins.
