Looking for some advice on new Velox rig

Budget:
2000 - 2200

Expectations:
Be able to upgrade components like RAM or HDD on my own so the case needs to be easy to get into and components should be easy access.

Usage:
Mainly used for home office and some minor gaming.
I mainly play MMOs like Rift, SWToR, GoE, and a few others.
Digital Storm spoiled me with the my first Vanguish so wanted to get a next level machine.
Currently use Logitech surround sound speaker and Dell 23 inch monitor.

Special Needs:
None

Saved Ticket #: 1720245

Specifications:
Nothing specific at this time. Justed wanted the next level machine above the Vanguish that fits withing my budget.

My Comments:
I do not do any VR gaming and really don't plan on it any time soon so in the config 1720245 I dropped the video card from 8 gig to 6 gig.

Should I upgrade this to Win10 Pro?

Is the remote lighting system worth the upgrade? Wasn't sure if system game with default lights like the Vanguish level 4 that I have currently.

Any advice on this config or similar config would be helpful.

Thanks ahead time.

Without a doubt I would get the lighting and LED Fans . Also possible hydro lite on CPU only.
That way you can swap cards easily as they progress.

You said you wanted the next level.

I would save another $100.00 and get the LED fans for sure.

The Hydrolux lite on CPU would run another $283.00.
With the back to school discount might make it little easier.

From experience I can tell you these upgrades make world of difference to the aesthetics.

if you can manage the extra funds.

If not will still perform like a beast.

Keep everyone updated and post review with photos
after you receive and test.

good thoughts your way

I agree with db, i have turned off most lights on my system also and on the next one I will probably skip them.

i think you guys are crazy. No ones sitting there playing with there lights couple days after they get them, but the average buyer hasn't experienced it. Heck might as well just go slade and hide it under a desk.

Lights are bare minimum extra . If funds permit . Cheap enough.

And the hydrolux lite extra premium, but I would get it or an AIO
One just looks nicer than the other and performs better.

You all say you turn your lights off and I have RGB but only keep it all blue .

Yet we all bought them

And we all enjoyed them

Just my opinion . Don't beat me up to bad


Get the lights
Get the hydrolux lite

And in review tell these guys how happy you were you did

Originally posted by DST4ME You missed the part where I said I would skip them on next build lol. To each his own

After seeing all the lights on your rig.
I could understand why you wouldn't want on next build.
Has to be like the Aurora Borealis in your room at night
[heck probably glows in the daylight.


ps. Bet you end up with lights though
