Nahhhh, "Everyday I'm Rustling"

This is tempting.

"JIMMIES RUSTLER".

And every time I log in, a batch script plays "Hi James, time to rustle some jimmies".

In other news, ordered an i5 4690K Devil's Canyon today. Just need RAM and she'll be alive (and running on onboard GPU until I get my card in a few weeks).

Nice. Was there much of a price difference between I5 & I7 cpu's?

Also what card have you found/going with? Bear in mind that 980ti is rumoured to be making an appearance in the coming months so should drop prices on the existing 970's & 980's.

Well I've been gaming online for bloody near 20 years, so to make all of you buggers who've been doing the same feel old, I am here to inform you that I am now a grandfather.

Time for my nap.....

I played my first online games in 1992. Fuck me I feel old lol.

I would have accomplished my first year of shitting my pants in 1992........ Inb4 "not much has changed"

16GB of 1600mhz or 1866mhz if you can afford (few extra frames come through with the 1866 but fuck all more with anything higher). Personally I have 1600mhz but should have gone slightly higher.

New edition GFX card coming out from asus http://www.tweaktown.com/news/44435/asus-announces-red-white-geforce-gtx-970-turbo-video-card/index.html External exhausting card with a shortened PCB. Nice to see someone's been paying attention to the SFF/Mini Itx case band wagon

I think ram speed above 1600 is the shiznet these days but not much higher.... 1866speedz? Also go for the 16gb (pricey in nz though or could still be mark up after floods)

I would go for the asus version of Z97 Board If the GA-Z97N does not have full voltage and multiplier control to allow mild overclocking. Consult google i know it was an issue with the GA-Z77n

OCZ Arc100 240GB SSD seems to be the best bang for buck. Truth?
Ehhh, it's cheaper. It's burst performance isn't quite up to the rest of them, but you probably won't notice much difference.

My recommendation goes out to the Crucial M series, or anything Samsung.

Silent fans, Noctua...?

Samsung or Crucial SSD's always been my go to. +1 I have also used the noctuas (pricey) or the newish corsair fans (brand whore). Fractal has some nice fans also with white blades if your fussed about colouring

I had a Gigabyte Z77n-wifi good bang for buck. Nice option http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=21830

For whatever reason none of the Z97 boards have mSATA (on CL). Just something to be aware of.

The B85N version does though.

Only an issue if Rii wants mSATA.


Ahh good spot, this one has m.2 for speedy ssd (mSATA's replacement) http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=21820

I've not settled on anything, but I only want a middle of the road mobo. One with wifi at the very least. Not interested in MEGA TURBO FSB, 47 CHANGING LED LIGHTS AND A ROBOTIC ARM TO WIPE YOUR ARSE ONCE YOU SHIT YOURSELF FROM SEEING THE PRICE TAG.

Also, case landed in Auckland this morning. Hopefully it doesn't hang around in customs too long.

You found special flavour mobo to use yet? And would highly recommend going with a m.2 SSD during the build phase be near imposibro to fit one after.

why not just make your own w/c loop with a double thick 120mm rad and run it with a higher flow rate and fan.

Because effort/maintenance/weight/casesize/money/bored/notneeded.

A sound proposal.

Mayhem - after a bit of advice dude.

Because I'm not buying everything in one massive hit, I can afford to splurge on components here and there where I think the money spent will be beneficial. With this in mind, I've taken into account your comment that the H100i would be overkill if I'm not going to be an OC enthusiast.

In theory, would it be a good idea to grab an H50 for the CPU and another closed loop liquid cooler for my GPU? I say in theory because having 2 individual 120mm rads may not fit into the dual 120mm rad area in the Ncase - also having 2 sets of tubing running in the Ncase might be impossible.

I have seen photos of people running a 120mm single fan rad on the outside of the M1 by screwing it on to the exhaust fan slot, but I'd like to keep everything on the inside of possible.


Hmmmm, Definitely recommend the H60SE over the H50 for your CPU. for that extra $$ you get a better fan, tubing, heatsick/pump (the 50 is old 60).

Now if you wanted to run an additional AIO cooler for the GPU you run into clearance issues with the radiators (see image) as they are slightly longer then a 120mm fan slot to fit pump tubing and this will clash with each other. Been there done that with external mounted fans for radiators, would ruin the looks of such a small case also the V3 has a 92mm exhaust?

In all honesty an AIO GPU cooler set-up is not required now that you will be going with Nvidia, providing you get your hands on an external exhausting card. The 9 series cards run cooler and quieter then AMD counterparts while drawing less watts and if you want to run a less aggressive fan profile you can due to a much higher thermal overhead.

Here I found one for you :) http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=24422

Hah, it has a supplier number attached to it which identifies it as goods ordered from base.

Next purchase will either be a Silverstone SFX PSU or a slot loading DVD drive.

Go for the SFX PSU next and mount it in case, then you can debate al your cable management terrors :)

What's the diff about the GPU you are talking about, does the rear type cost more, why not just get a closed loop cooler for ya GPU, would it not open the door for gpu selection to every brand then?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7719/nzxt-kraken-g10-review-liquid-cooling-for-your-gpu



He would need gpu like this https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=616527 due to Itx/SFF case size you want to limit the amount of heat dump, using an external exhausting card or reference spits it all out the arse. The AIO cooler you linked would work also but his CPU AIO cooler will be taking that available spot.

For some reason the current fad is to have as many fans possible on a gpu which is fine for large cases, not so much for SFF which is  the latest case fad

Sweet i5k + a H60SE cooler? Thoughts yet on gfx card? 970GTX maybe

I'm thinking an H100i and at this stage a 970 yeah. Will see what nvidia is offering when I'm ready to grab the GPU.

H100i is most likely overkill for an i5, although you will be able to run it super silent with an oc :). Build the system and use onboard gfx until you get a dedicated card might be an option.

-1 to amd they pulled the pin on mantle, run hot or require 5fans & power hungry.

You may need to get CL or PBtech to order external exhausting card for your build? Can't find any currently listed

Doing an ITX Build for the olds.


Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI
Core i3 4160 3.60Ghz
Corsair 2x4GB DDR3-1600 CL9
Antec ISK600
SanDisk 128GB Ultra SSD + 120GB OCZ Agility SSD

Should be a pretty solid PC.

Just waiting for the case to arrive then. I'll poast up some pictures.

Details on case?

With Rii's downsizing, how long before we see him rocking one of these ?




Still have more grunt compared to his consoles?
