Those cards are quite recent... How long did you keep the EVGA cards from before.

If it works for you... Great.
I Just never got much service out of mine... Whereas I have a Sapphire HD5670 and a HD4770 which is in its 7th year and 8th year of operation respectively.

I was a PlayStation gamer before, So pc gaming for me has only been in recent years, I had before my gtx 1060 sc 3gb gddr5 which I have about 3 months now a gt 610 2gb gddr3 for 2 years use no problems, before that was GeForce 7025a 512mb on board shared memory for about 3 years which was within the time of my platform crossover, when I say GeForce cards are better its a statement based upon benchmarks which speaks lengths, but to each his own.

Not sure how much people on here into fighting games... Evo 2017 is going on this weekend

[trinidude868]

Which ISP should I go with for the best online gaming experience? Digicel? Massy?

Beware of fake Ryzen cpus

Anyone building a new PC based on Ryzen just be wary.

That is a backwards step
All the best with the setup

Why'd you mount the rad fans to the inside of the case? seems like you wasted some space there....that way you could've mounted the reservoir to the pump top as a single unit cause of the extra clearance and add a rear fan as intake for some addtl airflow across the mb.

How the chassis designed it very restrictive in the front as far as air intake goes, unless you not concerned about the mb having some cooling also. Just some constructive criticism.

Tried that but was getting real thunder, so I lined it up like this and found it looked cool and just went with it.

As for the reservoir with the width of the radiator It wasn't fitting there even with the fan in the outside position and I didn't have a rad bracket for it hence the position.

The next phase will be to cool the GPU, so I will try a different layout then, I wish i could have done a push pull config but then I would have to find a place for the pump

Although is a monsta 240 you have keep in mind it may not be enough to cool both cpu & gpu eh. I mean you would get better temps than on air ofc but you should look at trying to fit an addtl 120 rad in the loop for optimal cooling.

That so true

[1800GSRLANCER]

just missing a psu, and my build is complete.

Anyone know where I can get a c19 power cable locally asap?

Thanks. Was hoping to get one today

Gonna build a gaming PC for the first time.
Trying to do it all in a Mini iTX case.
Here's what I have in my Amazon Cart after 2days of researching.

Case - Thermaltake Core V1 Black Edition
CPU - Intel Boxed Core i5-6600
CPU Cooler - Cryorig C7 (if it fits)
Mobo - ASUS ROG Strix h270i
Memory - Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4
Storage - Seagate 2Tb Barracuda and Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
Video Card - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 3GB or maybe a Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti Windforce OC 4GB
Power - EVGA SuperNOVA 550

Contemplating ordering from Amazon but wondering if anywhere locally has any of these. Any help would be appreciated.

Do this build need to upgrade when newer games release or i good for some time still

I would like to suggest upgrading the cpu from the i5-6600 to the i5-7600 as it is cheaper on amazon currently (if you do decide to purchase on amazon).

[snypaz]

Thanks. I'd swap it out.

Could ask why you not considering a Ryzen 5 1600? It offers much better price/performance and future proofing over the intel counterpart.

[snypaz]

I'm not convinced on their processors yet. Also there seem to be fake ones on the market and Amazon. Just playing it safe for now.

And if anyone knows anywhere locally that had the parts I mentioned or anything close, Let me know before my shipping company screws me.

What the latest Nvidia video card out, currently have a 570 which is on lifetime warranty from EVGA so i thinking about sending it back so trying to determine which is more cost effective

ok thanks

has anyone one bring in a video card lately i heard custom now charging duty on computer parts (trying to work out if it worth doing RMA or just buy new one and i also making the assumption no one locally sells the 1080)

There's a 1080Ti in Wizz south for $7,400

[ismithx]

waste of money lol

also if you can wait I don't believe that they charge extra if you use ocean freight
