It's done, Ilike was right. But the instructions were fricking awful, so thanks Stout for linking that video.

I installed the H70 on my CPU last week and without Youtube it never would have happened. It had shite instructions with it too.

New Watch Help

---I have 2 Tags, 3 Luminoxs(field and sport) and do not want a rolex unless it is old school 80s silver with center gold band, but those run about 15k.

I trust you nerds so what do you guys suggest?

My company is based out of Geneva, so since coming on board and being around these Swiss.. I noticed how much style their watches hold. So that has prompted my recent obsession on finding a new watch.

Ask Broke next time he is on. He collects watches and I bet he has 10 times the money tied up in watches that you do in computers.

I also am planning on dedicating the 2nd Post of this thread to OUR community's buildes, rigs, setups.

Please post the latest picture of your current project/rig with the basic tech specs, only the following are needed.

CPU
GPU
MOBO
RAM
PSU
CASE
COOLING

Think it would be pretty cool and should bring interest to the thread for any new commers visiting this section for the first time. lol

I bet, watches are expensive. I only have roughly 20-22K in hardware.

I know what you mean about others making you want a nice watch. I used to wear my Tag and look at nice watches all the time too back when I actually dressed everyday as a Realtor. Now since I just do contracting and manage my rental properties I don't like to wear anything too nice I might mess up. I quit wearing watches all together and my Tag is sitting in my dresser with a few old Seiko watches I have.

I've never been into watches that much. I burned through a couple of Fossil watches in high school, and shortly after that I bought a $250-300 range Citizen Ecodrive, and stopped wearing watches about 4 years ago.

lol, computers is by far my most expensive hobby and I probably only have about $4k (a generous guess) worth of PC stuff laying around, if you include the potential prices of all the fans and cables that aren't worth selling.

I have about $20k "invested" in having a 2-year-old daughter, though.

I really don't want to be an a-hole and block a sale, but I'll just say you should definitely buy if you can get a fair deal, knowing that every day the seller holds on to some of that hardware, the farther into "discontinued land" it ventures.

I told you what I wouldn't go above for it and that's $900 at the top end. It has nice components but they are all used now and also that is an 1155 socket MOBO. 1155 is now dead and you won't be able to upgrade your CPU without getting a new MOBO in the future.


That MOBO used is $150 on Ebay and you can also find brand new 660 GPUs for $150. They had one on Newegg today for $160 actually.

If it were me I would offer $700 and see what his counter offer is. You can tell from there if you two can get a price both will feel comfortable with.

Then again I am a cheap a-hole who negotiates prices and costs for a living so I may be way off but even it you don't get that PC it's not the end of the world.

We can help you pick new components of a comparable build for the same price and there are plenty of guys that post here who are in BR and would be more than glad to help you IRL if needed to get it put together.

If you decide to buy parts, I'm putting them together for free these days, and I basically live in BR (Central).

Over a year ago I built my first gaming PC since I had this bad boy back in my Sophmore year of high school in 1996.

I spent $600 initially last year on my first build because I just wanted to play DayZ and wasn't sure if I would game much else on it.

Carson looking into buying Poncho's set up made me curious so I put mine together on PCPartpicker just now and it shows $1700 worth of components. I only have some ram and my original HDD left from last June when I built my initial build.

Of course I didn't pay that much for it. Getting a free $180 case and a $450 GPU for $190 helped a lot

Download LoL and lets start playing. I just downloaded it about to piss some guys off with my noobishness

So I'm looking to build me a new PC again (been playing games on a laptop )... I'm looking to go back to an ITX build. Going to try and get a 2500k and 7870 based build for under $500. Those 2500k can be had for cheap and has very little difference between IB and haswell while gaming
