    I've seen some very nice cable management in this thread. Any tips for this? Do you need a specific case, psu or do you buy seperate cables?

    1. Plan ahead.
    2. Take your time.
    3. Use cable ties.

    A big help is to have a case that allows for routing of cables behind the motherboard tray.

    Also, click this.

    A case with enough space behind the motherboard tray to route cables, enough holes in the motherboard tray to get the cables out of sight ASAP and a semi-modular or fully-modular power supply helps.

    Grouping cables that run in the same direction can help.

    Haven't got one yet, but I'm thinking about the CM storm enforcer, haf 912 or anything else.

    We're drifting off-topic again, if you have questions about your prospective build or want tips on cable management, please make a separate thread. Thanks! :>

    Moved house and finally upgraded some parts. Still quite a bit I'd like to do but there's no need for it really.

    Here's my old post and old rig.

    Asus P8P67 Motherboard
    Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.3Ghz
    2GB GByte GTX670 OC
    8GB Memory (2x4GB 1600MHz)
    CORSAIR 600W PSU
    Edimax EW-7612PIn Network Card
    1TB SAMSUNG HDD
    120GB Corsair SSD

    Dell U2311 Monitor
    Roccat Kova Mouse
    Razer Megalodon Headset
    Razer Arctosa Keyboard
    Creative T7900 7.1 Speakers

    Coolmaster Silencio 550 case

    What I'd like to do is overclock the CPU, which I think I'll do before GW2 hits. I'd then like to buy a new case, a new sound card, speakers, headset and keyboard. Again most of these are just things I'd 'like' to do but there's no real need because what I have works and it does the job it needs to do.

    Please excuse the terrible photo skills. Using a phone camera as usual and I suck at photography!

    I love how clean your setup looks (DAT Antec 1200 lights/sidepanel :Q___), plus your room seems cool aswell (I guess watching tv while playing isn't really an option )

    The more I see the noctua d14 the more I want to get one only for the look of it, but I have to fight the temptation! :P

    http://www.lg.com/au/it-monitors/lg-D2743P-3d-monitor this one was supposed to be 120Hz as well but I can't find any info if that is how it turned out to be or if it is using some other technique than 120Hz for 3D.

    You are really making me want to get 2 more monitors wow that looks nice :/

    I'm wondering though really, is the performance impact to fps big if the 670 has to drive another schreen just for browsing/youtube and stuff?
    Right now i can play any game but Crysis at 100-120fps with a single 670 (EVGA FTW). And i would like to stay above the 80 at the very least.
