    PS2 favours Nvidia, just a heads-up.

    Got a new case for my current rig (not the new one I'm building):

    In my new system until I get my first Titan. X79 has no IGP, so I had to use my second 470 in order to do any testing.

    Probably going to sell the second 470 once my new system is up and running anyway. Won't need it since the plan for my current system = semi-mobile headless file server. I'm going to buy 3 x 4TB WD RE drives and put them in a small RAID 5, copy my existing 7.2 TB to it, selling the 5 x 2TB drives I have now, then slowly buying more 4TB drives and expanding the array as I can afford to.

    I feel like I'm one step closer to joining the modern world.



    And I'm still looking over parts for my step-dad's computer. I haven't ordered anything yet, but I'm still open to suggestions. Please prevent me from being stupid, Modacity. thnx <3

    EDIT: I've been using my new drive for fifteen minutes and I don't know how I'm going to use all this space. Pretty much my reaction right now.

    I got commissioned by my friend to put together a desktop with gaming in mind for $600-$700. I haven't kept up to date with hardware for a few years, so any suggestions on parts would be great, otherwise I was just going to pick the top choices on Newegg and Tigerdirect that fit within my price range.

    It will be $600-$700 for the tower only, so I don't have to worry about the display, speakers, peripherals, or anything else like that. I'm thinking it should have at least a current gen i5 quad core, 8 GB RAM at 1333 MHz or even 1600 MHz if I can manage the price, 500-550 Watt PSU, and an nvidia card that can be bought with whatever is left. I would also like to get an ATX full sized case with a raised mounting panel for wire concealment, and a 1TB 7200 rpm HDD from a respectable company. Let me know if you guys know of any good prices out there, or if you guys have had good experiences with specific cases that aren't too pricey.
