which one do you think will be louder

#

and do you think results are comparable

rich sedge Jul 29, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

maybe the arctic is louder?

crimson scroll Jul 29, 2020, 9:53 PM

and like i said, i don't know anything about the mars fans

you're missing the point

Anybody know what "XC" and "KO" mean in terms of graphics card
PING ME TOO

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

XC is just EVGA's way of branding stuff. KO means that that specific series of 2060 uses a pared down 2080 chip, the TU104 instead of TU106 @noble oak

noble oak Jul 30, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

k

#

then why in the hell does "KC" cost more money than "KO"

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

XC means triple slot i believe

#

a larger heatsink

#

XC and KO aren't necessarily exclusive, EVGA just didn't make a 2060 XC KO model

#

there's the 2070 XC Black Gaming and the 2070 Black Gaming

#

it's just an additional modifier if you will

#

Anyways how my final part list look?

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

i would get a more airflow focused case

#

also the sn550 is the same price as the wd blue right now

#

i'd get that

#

do you care about rgb @noble oak

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cjY8Dx i would go for something like this, turn off the rgb if you don't like it, and maybe add a 120mm exhaust fan

noble oak Jul 30, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

Oh dude don’t worry about the case it has 2 modes I can remove the top panel and side one to a mesh one for air flow

#

but RHB isn’t a worry)

#

*RGB

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

it's just kinda expensive

#

170 bucks for that

noble oak Jul 30, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

Oh thanks dude! For sure will check it out

#

Yea, I’ll switch out my SSD too. It said it has fast boot up times, and really I picked the SSD the fastest

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

yeah

#

you won't notice a difference between the wd blue and sn550 in most consumer tasks

#

but hopefully games start making use of those faster speeds, and at the same price, why not get the better drive, right?

noble oak Jul 30, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

Yea, and the case looks pretty good. Matches my desk color, but I’ll check it out

#

Thanks again!

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 8:39 AM

np

noble oak Jul 30, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

Saucy, planning on getting the non RGB since the RGB fans really aren’t gonna look good when it’s the only things RGB

#

Is there any downsides to that?

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

you'll have to buy two extra fans instead of one

#

but no downsides really

static pecan Jul 30, 2020, 11:19 PM

#

@gusty torrent don't get an i3 lol. At the very least get an AMD Ryzen 3 3300 with a B450 ATX motherboard. If you go with an R3 3300 there's no need for a third party CPU cooler as the one boxed with the 3300 will be more than adequate. You only need 16GB of RAM, not 32, and you need at least one small SSD for storage even if you keep an HDD for mass storage of files, games, etc.

gusty torrent Jul 30, 2020, 11:19 PM

wow the link is only one character different

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

one, get a cheaper ssd. A p1, sn550, sn750, etc. will be cheaper and pretty much equivalent, especially for gaming

#

two, a 1660 super will be only like twenty bucks more than the 1660. use the money saved from the SSD for that

gusty torrent Jul 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

sorry wrong thing again i dont know why its not working properley

crimson scroll Jul 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

3, the lian li lancool non mesh is meh for thermals. if you like the looks and can't give it up, whatever, but i recommend the lancool II mesh version or another airflowf ocused case

#

oh and 4, don't get the 3600x

devout wolf Jul 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

also, don't get a 3600x

oof

ok good then this will be my build for the future

crimson scroll Jul 31, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

if you wanted productivity, it's medium-high

#

really good gpu for encoding and stuff, but you can do better on the cpu

#

and for gaming it's top tier, you'd see improvements going to intel but i wouldn't, too expensive

#

also, i would strongly recommend 1440p 144hz, 4k 60hz, or 4k 120hz monitors for this setup

crimson scroll Jul 31, 2020, 6:10 AM

nah

It's not very hard at all imo. The hardest part is planning where you're going to connect each fan to what header so that you can cable manage easier

crimson scroll Jul 31, 2020, 6:11 AM

yeah, that

there's a certain order you follow for most parts

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

well, it's an important life skill

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

Yes

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

so we know it can support 3x120mm fans in the front

#

now, the picture you linked has 3 fans in the front

#

therefore, they must be what size

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

2 140mm

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

no

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

And 1 120mm

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

the fans in your picture are all the same size

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

Oh

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

so what size are they in the picture

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

120

#

Mm

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

correct

#

and as you just pointed out, the included fans listed are 2x140 and 1x120

#

so can that picture be the fans included by default?

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

Probably

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

use your brain

#

think about it

#

the picture has 3x120mm fans

#

the included fans are 2x140mm and 1x120mm

#

this is basic logic

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

Yes

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

so you're saying 140mm and 120mm fans are the same size

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

No I’m not

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

then how can the 2x140mm and 1x120mm fans included with the case, become 3x120mm fans in the picture

#

they're all the same size in the picture you linked

#

the ones that come with the case, are not all the same size

#

so think about it

noble oak Aug 1, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

Yeah

crimson scroll Aug 1, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

can that configuration in the picture you linked be created from the stock fans provided?

Yes maybe

Stupid question. Can I plug an Ethernet cable directly into my router? Just making sure I don’t need a switch. It’s only for 1 device (my PC).

#

Wireless is getting to be pretty inconvenient

noble oak Aug 2, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

yes you can

storm umbra Aug 2, 2020, 4:27 AM

#

Ok thanks @noble oak lol

static pecan Aug 2, 2020, 4:28 AM

Yep. Most routers have at least 4 ethernet ports for connecting multiple devices so you shouldn't have any problems plugging in just your PC

crimson scroll Aug 2, 2020, 4:50 AM

it's interesting that we're at the point where people know wireless more than wired

static pecan Aug 2, 2020, 5:36 AM

Yeah. When WiFi 6 goes mainstream that will probably be enough for the vast majority of people, even hardcore gamers. Of course then there's people like me who will take a wired connection over wireless any day lol

i just use wireless because its more convenient for my family

h510i = h510 with an LED strip
h510 elite = h510i with a glass front and rgb fans

the h510 is...fine, but requires brute airflow

i5 9600k

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 5:55 AM

noble oak Aug 3, 2020, 6:03 AM

Ryzen 5 6 core thread 12 something

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 6:03 AM

you likely mean the r5 3600, correct?

noble oak Aug 3, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

Yes

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

the 3600 would be a better choice

#

you should be comparing the 10400 or 10600k, those are the most recent gen i5

#

and even then i would still probably pick the 3600, it'll most likely be cheaper, and better for several types of productivity work

#

while being close enough for gaming

noble oak Aug 3, 2020, 6:08 AM

Mainly gaming

#

and some browsing the web

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

and if you're gonna upgrade, then why get something now

#

i will point out that a 10600k will OC to stock 10900k performance

#

no point in getting an i7

noble oak Aug 3, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

hm

#

I guess.

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

there really isn't apart from name value

#

if your focus was more on productivity, then you'd choose a 3700x or 3900x instead

#

if you want to save money, then you pick the 3600, which is usually 10-20fps fewer than the 10600k, but also is cheaper in terms of both the cpu and the cooling solution

noble oak Aug 3, 2020, 6:11 AM

#

150 frames is enough for me so the FPS drop isn’t really a problem, anyways thanks for the advice

The only thing I saw bad about this card is the drivers

@crimson scroll you are spending wayyy to much for that build

#

people have run 2080ti and i9-9900k on a 450w system before

#

obviously not ideal, but

#

your parts will have much lower power consumption

#

and the money you save by being more efficient at 50% load won't be more than the straight up money you save by buying a lower wattage psu

so a 550w or 650w psu will serve you just fine while being cheaper

I recommend the sceptre c24 144rn

You can get 1080p 75hz monitors for like 100 on sale

Also is duel monitoring worth it?

No. I would not recommend making your monitors fight to the death

Sauce boss can you please tell saucy raichu to unmute me

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 11:48 PM

Joking aside, if it's worth it depends on what you're doing

#

For productivity, maybe

#

And it's nice to have discord/spotify/twitch/etc on a second monitor

#

But just for gaming, nah

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

@noble oak I would still switch out the case but I know you've mentioned you'll convert the panels and you like the look anyways

#

Any particular reason you're going ultra high refresh rate

last fossil Aug 3, 2020, 11:51 PM

The programs I use

#

Ah talking to steel

#

But refresh rate is nice too

noble oak Aug 3, 2020, 11:53 PM

Yea, I heard "higher the refresh rate the better" but yes no particular reason for it.

naive dagger Aug 3, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

That’s really really high

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

You can get 1440p 144hz for that price which is a better balance imo

#

You'll notice 144 to 240+ but not as much as 60 to 144

naive dagger Aug 3, 2020, 11:54 PM

I agree with saucy

1440p? Fine with me, I’ll look into it some more. Thanks again

last fossil Aug 3, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

If you don’t balence out the parts that handle your refresh rate I feel like it puts more strain on your cpu load which I hate

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

No prob

#

@last fossil that depends but generally yes, resolution is more gpu bound and refresh rate is more cpu bound, when you try to increase either

last fossil Aug 3, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

That’s why I balance out my stuff and just kinda go the way I went

#

Or at least try too

#

Emphases on tried

#

But is there any place @crimson scroll that you would grab a monitor from

crimson scroll Aug 3, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

Not Newegg

#

Their dead pixel policy is garbage

#

Newegg eBay is okay since eBay makes them actually have cs

Pretty much anywhere is fine, just check their warranty and policy

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Ebay is very customer focused

#

I mean the actual ebay stores

#

Not the auctions

#

And they 99% of the time side with customers, that's why so many eBay scams happen to people who try to sell on ebay

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:01 AM

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

HDR?

crimson scroll Aug 4, 2020, 12:03 AM

1080p 144hz

Hdr is a scam on cheap monitors

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Well yea

crimson scroll Aug 4, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Alternatively go 1440p 144hz and upgrade gpu later

#

And keep the monitor

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

My pc is perfectly fine for rn imma upgrade my pc down the line

crimson scroll Aug 4, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

I know

#

I'm saying your monitor will likely outlive your pc

#

In terms of when it's obsolete

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

Oh

#

I see

crimson scroll Aug 4, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

So you spend more on the monitor now

#

And it'll still be relevant when we consider the 5500xt a trash tier gpu

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

True that

#

Lemme go and check some monitors I’ll be right back and I’ll message you some monitors

crimson scroll Aug 4, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

if you want image quality, go IPS/VA. if you want speed for esports, go TN

#

VA will have better contrast, worse ghosting. IPS will have the best colors overall, but IPS glow/bleed. TN has the worst colors, best panel speed

#

with modern high quality panels, most of the negatives are mitigated though

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 12:42 AM

What do you think?

crimson scroll Aug 4, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

second two have meh stands

#

first one is overpriced

#

last one seems alright if you like ultrawide, but make sure you check the specs on that

#

"up to 200hz" may mean you need to turn down the res to get 200hz

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

I mean I don’t care about the stands

#

What am I looking for in terms of specs

crimson scroll Aug 4, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

you should unless you're planning to replace the stand with a vesa mount

#

but refresh rate, brightness (nits), screen size, resolution, color accuracy, and response time (gtg, input lag) are what you should be looking at

last fossil Aug 4, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

5 milliseconds is the response time (gtg). 200hz refresh rate, brightness is 270 cd/m2, color gamut is 90%, resolution 2560x1080, screen size 30”, couldn’t find the input lag @crimson scroll

#

Or brightness

#

But I think I got everything

#

250 bits

Nits

And the input lag is just below 5ms

@little igloo you can use pcpartpicker.com to create your list of parts and it will tell you if everything is compatible or if you need to change something

#

@autumn cairn do you mean you put the components together outside of a case? If your mobo doesn't have an onboard switch to turn it on you'll need to jump start the power switch using something small and metal. There's tutorials online that will have better explanations

what res and refresh rate is your monitor klexos

#

a 2060 super should be able to handle 1080p 144fps for most titles, a 2070 super can do 4k 60fps

alternatively, a 5700xt is slightly worse than a 2070 super, and will cost about $400ish

before i was using the base prism cooler that came with it and at less loads was hitting 85c+

#

20% load and hover at 50-55c, but you see the biggest improvements in the upper extremes

pulsar fossil Aug 6, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

I'm at about 70c with an i9-9900k at full load with a Noctua air cooler

#

Drawing in 210W of power ish

#

At 4,7 GHz

#

I could prob OC a bit

In my dreams I have that

balmy grail Aug 6, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

naive dagger Aug 6, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

But is that a Razer mouse 😡

hybrid wolf Aug 6, 2020, 9:52 PM

Yes I’ve just ordered the new steelseries keyboard and mouse

#

Chairs being replaced I’ve had it nine months

#

Secret labs Titan

pulsar fossil Aug 6, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

A decent chair

hybrid wolf Aug 6, 2020, 10:00 PM

Seen so many streamers using them so I had to ... cannot wait for the steel series to arrive though 💯💯

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

more questions for you guys, whats the best/your go to 144+ hz monitor preferably below $250 but up to $300

balmy grail Aug 6, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

i got this one for 80 usd on black friday https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HBRzK8/aoc-c24g1-240-1920x1080-144-hz-monitor-c24g1

AOC C24G1 24.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

yeah a lot of those got sold at microcenter when i worked there

balmy grail Aug 6, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

might not be a good monitor, but at entry level, i couldnt argue with the price

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

fair enough

balmy grail Aug 6, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

the only thing i hate about it is when the screen is dark, theres these white "ghosts" on the screen

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

thats kind of why ive given so much of my budget for the monitor, i already have 2 60hz that im going to use on the side so i want a really high quality monitor for my main one

#

This is what I'm doing for my PC, if anyone has any suggestions https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gWBYvW

System Builder

#

already have a 500gb SSD & a 2 tb hard drive, which is why I'm only buying the one extra NVME SSD

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Klex maybe see what it’s like with Corsair vengeance tam

#

Ram*

#

Also

#

Screw the fans and get bean cooled pc

balmy grail Aug 6, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

LOL

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

its about the same price with corsair ram because i want 32 gb

#

as long as everything is below 2k im fine, it can go a little over but ill be sad about it

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

Hmmm

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

You want to stream with that right?

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

Maybe 2080 super instead of 2060? Would be pushing it but definitely worth it

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

streaming would be on my current pc, games only on the new one

#

need to eventually have a monitor in the price of the pc parts too otherwise i would lol

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

Ahh ok

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

Maybe little bit weaker CPU and better GPU then?

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

i want to do a dual pc set up but i want the new one to not need to be upgraded for a while

#

would it be worth it to go for the 2070 super?

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

Just get an asus 240hz monitor then get the 2070 super

#

Lol

#

Ya it would be tbh.

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

i know stuff about like mid tier parts but this stuff is over my head LMAO

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

xD

#

2060 2070 2080 are all good

#

What do you have in your current pc

#

For graphics card

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

my gpu? i have a 1050ti

#

not amazing but it does the job

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

Hmmmmm

#

Maybe lower the quality of the gpu and cpu on the one you wanna build. Get a 2070 and a good 240hz monitor

#

Would be pushing It though

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

the only reason i want to stay under 2k is because i want to use the remaining $400 of my budget to buy a secretlabs lmao

#

but i have like a month or so before im going to buy anything so ill have more savings

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

Actually

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

ill probably just get a 240 hz & the 2070 super and cry about not having any money

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Maybe just wait for prices to drop?

#

Everything expensive af atm cuz of the pandemic

#

Just wait for everything to calm down

#

And then everything will be cheaper

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

maybe yeah but ive already waited an unbelievable amount of time to upgrade so my pc is uh 😅

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Also, maybe wait for 30xx series

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Aight just go for it then I guess.

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Oh wait no nvm, they only show high-end stuff on beginning

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

i have the money to so ive just kind of accepted paying higher prices

#

plus itll be a nice birthday present to myself

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

PC upgrade is always nice present

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

Then go fir it.

#

Get a 2070 maybe a 2080 if your willing

#

And get a capture card unless you already have one

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

aaaa i forgot about capture card LOL

#

gg

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

From what I've read 2070 is not a good deal and 2070S is WAAAAY better

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

yeah id get a 2070s

#

its only $100 more than 2060s

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Just ask for a fee headset from steelseries then sell it. Free money

#

Jk

#

Lol..... unless?

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

i already have 2 free headsets

#

but i use them :]

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Maybe get 1 for me

#

Lol

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Why do you need 2 headsets :o

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

One for each pc

#

Duh

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

ones for my ps4 & switch & the other is for my pc

#

i dont want to set up my arctis pro wireless each time i want to go from pc to ps4

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

And you don’t wanna be that person that uses tv sound

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

I didn't get free one but it was aaaalmost free. 200$ for arctis pro with gamedac is almost free

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

i mean i do sometimes

#

i have a 65" samsung qled

#

its a nice tv

#

lol

#

i need to get a soundbar for it tho

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

That always confuses me why pc players want speakers? They use headsets to listen so what are the speakers for? Astheitic?

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Well depends

#

Before I got arctis pro I had to plug my headphones via jack trough speakers

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

You play on pc?

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

Yes

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

So your pc case didn’t have an audio jack?

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

It had, but cable was too short

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

Ahh ok

mellow ferry Aug 6, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

also if you are watching a movie or something with someone

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

But on a. Monitor?

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Also sometimes I had a vibe where I just took off headphones and listened to music lol

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Just get a tv if your willing to spend a grand on speakers

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

i never ever use my monitors speakers

#

my old roommate would only use his headset if he was gaming & would play his youtube videos so loud that you could hear it across the entire apartment

#

dont understand them

mellow ferry Aug 6, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

i got cheap monitors so they dont even have speakers lmao

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

ok so real talk monitor brands which should i be looking at are there any that are actually bad

mellow ferry Aug 6, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

they were lioke £60 each

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

are LG monitors ok?

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

Kinda off topic but, is there a steelseries cable for gamedac that is longer than one we get in box?

#

Yes LG monitors are okay

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

Klex LG are good ASU’s are good.

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

about $200 over budget thats fine

#

ez

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

200 dollar

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

yeah

#

lol

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

You could get

#

400 small haribo packets with that

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

i could also pay for half of my chair with it

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

Ya

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

if i really wanted to slim down the cost i could switch my AIO & get a cheaper case but

#

i want the fractal design define 7 :(

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

Are there any good 120$ mechanical keyboards worth getting? Would love to go with steelseries but apex 5 is not fully mechanical and apex 7 is little bit too expensive.

hearty ravine Aug 6, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

are you using the 12% off codes when youre determining price?

frigid phoenix Aug 6, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

O.o

#

W-what code

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

noble oak Aug 6, 2020, 10:48 PM
