Does that case take 140mm fans? I have a couple of new ones if you need them. I was going to use them for the Dimastech build but went with 120mm gentle typhoons instead.

What monitor?

oh yeah, PICS!!!

The case brings 3 120mm fans. Not sure if it fits the 140mm. Monitor wise looks like im going with the Asus ROG Swift pg278q or the new pg27aq. Cant seem to be able to load pics of the case.

I find myself running out of space on my os drive pretty quick with the size of each game I have loaded up on the drive. 500gb big enough for the games you have plus growth?

Thats plenty of machine for gaming and I don't see needing SLI anytime soon with the 980ti. Windows 10 + DX12 should be a boon to performance as well.

(fixed yer post for yah)

Thanx for the image help. Not sure bout drive space. Never been a pc gamer. Currently game on my ps4. Recently got a itch to build a pc so here i am. 500gb should last me a bit. Could always buy another sad if i need room to grow. How are you liking the Rog swift?

Its a whole new experience with the swift. Can't say if its the 144mhz or the g-sync but its liquid smooth gaming.

Now if they had it in a 2560x1600 resolution.....Nerdvana

Not being a gamer, I won't have much to add.

But I really like that clean looking Corsair case. Wonder if they make a version with a windowless side panel? Front USB/etc. ports up high are nice for us rebels who keep our cases on the floor amidst all the dust.

Solid looking build.

The new pg27aq is supposed to be 4k at 60hz. Asus also unveiled a new 34" ultrawide curved monitor 3440x1440 resolution. not sure when either of these are supposed to release
