Very very nice! Congrats,

Should you wish to have the "Verified Customer" tag on the forums, just make sure the email addresses for the forum and the order are exactly the same (case sensitive).

Welcome to the DS family!!   

Congratulations, i don't know what stage you are in but may i recommend dropping the ram to 32gb which 4 times more than what you need for gaming and instead go 1000gb 960 pro.

Ask for a drain valve to make it easier to flush and be ready to work on that lc system.

Nice system but I wish you had talked to us first, either congratulations

Originally posted by Tidgxor Congrats on a beast of a system. Did you have a specific reason for that much RAM? Just curious - don't see it that often.

All the other systems I have purchase over the years I would always order low ram thinking that I would have enough. I was wrong and would have to upgrade. So, since this will be my last desktop purchase I just wanted to max it out.

I am in stage 6 for a couple of days so it should be shipped out very soon.

Thank you for your suggestions

That is ok lol now you will have update it yourself when you need more room, its part of the fun

I think I am just in a hurry to play games on ultra settings lol as I think we all are when we make a new purchase, I already have a bunch of add ons to include once the system arrives

Ok. My order was in stage 6 on 12/2/2017 and went to stage 7 on 12/6/2017 at 12:15 pm and then was shipped on 12/6/2017 at 3:45 pm. WOW. Excited. Was worth the wait.. will post some pics.

Now.... the only thing is I wish I was good at FPS games..... LOL. .(I am Such a slacker)

I most likely will spend most of my time on the ground in these games.... LOL. LOL


OH WELL .....

Talk later

DST, please make a guide to help the casuals with this, I can't stand all these non-OC, non-LC mice running around the forums.

I guess since you asked nicely. 

Still going to feed you energy drinks for overclocking purposes though little mouse.

Kinda like bringin' a Ma Deuce to a knife fight.

Mr. Browning hit  home runs with his designs. The M2 was and is one. Coming up on 100 years and still in use!
