Thank you :)

Decided to get active in the SA community and maybe sell some of the WC stuff.
Yes, changing hardware is a bit of a procedure. I changed the front radiator and did some mods it took me two days but the silence you get while gaming is worth the effort :)

Yeah I've owned 2 Watercooled setups in the past but when I decided I wanted to make my living by building custom pc and ht setups I knew I would have to drop watercooling.

Yea, thank you. The tubing took the most of the time to do.

Yea i figured the tubing would be a pain in the @ss. I'm assuming you don't change parts that often either? I would love to have something like that in my setup but i unfortunately don't have the patience for things like that.

Yea I don't update frequently and even regret updating my cpu from 2500k to 4670k I got a really poor overclocker now

Well considering there is generally a 5% increase each generation, that means your 4670K is at least 10% faster than you 2500k.
I also had a crappy clocking 4670K, had a really nice 4690K which clocked well and now I've got an amazing i7 4790K that clocks like a dream.

Will do a proper pic over this coming weekend, friend of mine who is a photographer (a famous one I should add) is coming to take some pics :D
 
I do not see many Razer Deathadder or Naga mice listed...Why?

Also no Turtle Beach, are they not the best gaming headsets on the market?

My first Deathadder got stolen, the 2nd kinda died and I replaced it (but I've since been able to get it fixed, it is for my laptop if I ever decide to LAN at my place and someone needs a machine to play on)

Best mouse I ever owned.
 
I've decided to return my GTX970 and I have ordered the Galax GTX980 HOF V2 as replacement. The reason I'm doing this is because several new games I have played pushed my 970 up against it's 3.2 - 3.5GB VRAM barrier and seeing it was gnawing at me.
I know it doesn't make the card any worse, it is still a fast card, however I was worried that it would make problems in 2 years (or however long).

Meh, struggling to put into words why I'm replacing it.

On a side note, perhaps there should be a general hardware discussions thread? If you want to ask something but don't want to make a new thread for it specifically? If there is such a thread, I haven't seen it, and I apologize.
 
Another small update, I'll be picking up my Titan X tomorrow during the day, sold the 980 Hof a couple of min ago.
