    Pc build

    Howdy!

    Just wondering what people think of this build, will be adding 6600k or 6700k and gtx 1070~ to it
    Already have the main drive for system - how are m.2's for Windows? I've heard they're super slow to boot etc vs reg SSD?

    How's the case when it comes to sound? Wanting super quiet build, compared to my current noise monster :|

    Thanks!

    Mobo name makes me cringe, if I was building new PC I would go with AIO cooler instead of air one, with custom fans.

    Did you know Corsair released Magnetic Levitation fans recently?

    Not a fan of the case, if you never had one before, dust mesh is a must :3
    PM me weird stuff :3

    All looks good to me

    That CPU cooler is a beast, matches performance with Corsari H100's, quieter under idle too.

    The case comes with front/bottom cleanable filters.

    Mesh and filters, technically, while do the same, don't clean in the same way.

    if you can spend $500 on the motherboard and $400 on a ssd, why are you only getting a 1070 and not a 1080 or even titan?

    Sorry I'll rephrase.

    The case comes with cleanable mesh filters in the front/bottom.

    Got similar config (even same case) with 6700K and 1080 FE. That SSD is great, but I did not find noticeable difference from 840 Pro (office setup) when it comes to standard PC usage.

    You should looose that expensive mobo, I have 50% cheaper Hero from Asus and it seems like wasted money. Most noticeable diffrence for any game will be your video card, so I suggest putting that money into 1080 from Nvidia or Titan if you like.

    If you are willing to spend 500 on a motherboard then why not just go x99?

    Where I am, I can't get an Ethernet connection, so wifi is a must - though I've been looking at some nice pci adapters, but apparently they don't support Windows 10 :|


    Edit:
    Anyone here use http://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/8...k-card-pceac68 ?
    I like that it has an...antenna stand? So they can be moved around, and not just stuck with the antenna on the back

    You're still buying an OEM key and have a guarantee for it to be replaced (if you select that option and you should) if it's not working.

    Definetely pick a separate wireless card. This one will work.
