Oh, hey.

HAF X is a great case, it's never wrong to go overkill with a case. Airflow is everything
Oh it's amazing, but all of my stuff could have fit in a mid tower, but I dished out the extra cash so I could make my computer a beast.  :P

The corsair 900D is godly

Oh, hey.
Come at me, tower elitists
With 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'm building a tower and it's ganna weigh like 50 pounds and I'm moving haha

Oh, hey.
CPU: Haswell Core i7 4770K
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 Ripjaws series
Storage: 1 TB HDD w/ 250 GB SSD
Motherboard: Asus Z87-A
PSU: 600W
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X
Keyboard:  Corsair Vengeance K70 Cherry MX Brown
Mouse: Corsair Vengeance M65 laser mouse
Monitor: Acer H6 series H236HL
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Pretty solid, how's the 270X been?

It has it's limitations but it's pretty good.

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.

That's pretty good, nice. Any over clocks?

Haven't had the time and money to build my own. I wish though, I want to run Starcraft 2 on Ultra settings. I can run it on Medium with this PC.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are

It was around $2500 when I built it, and I was going for overkill at the time.  This was it (before I bought the 5:1 speakers):

I have the same tower as you! : ).
