Come at me, tower elitistsWith how much I was jumping between houses three years ago, and at a rather good discounted price I scored the thing at, it made a lot more sense than buying a rig that I'd only see half of the time.Still runs shit well enough (I keep Metro Last Light looking better than on any console), and I don't foresee the need to really upgrade for another two years at least. Definitely gonna build a tower then, since my home is more stable.

I heard the cooler is pretty awful, unless you have a custom cooler (I don't know if the model you have has Gigabyte's custom fan array)Yeah my cooler is fine as the GPU never goes above 30 degrees Celsius. I also have a Noctua cooler and a Fractal case so that helps improve air flow.
