My pleasure
If you want more quiet fans then go with the non led corsair fans. Bit of info: 1. Do not install Mcafee , instead get a lighter better anti virus like ESET ( number 3 on the list ) Or any other good light Anti Virus will do. 2. With extra fans request that DS changes all case fans and connects all your fans to the mobo so you can control them via free software. This way we can control the fans without needing anything else (aka fan controller and etc). Also be sure to pick the color of the ring you wan the fans to have (red/blu/white). 3. The warranty here is 3 year labor and 1 year parts so if you want higher part warranty be sure to raise the warranty level to the desired level. Edited by DST4ME - 16 Sep 2016 at 12:26am |

Its a personal choice really, I like to go with a 5 year part warranty tho I think now the longest you can get is 4., but I think 3 years is a good one.

If you are gaming at 1440p then the second 1080 would just sit there and produce heat.
I would only get the sli when I go 4k and or need it. titan you need to put under lc and oc the heck out of it yourself to get 60fps and higher at 4k. for 1440p again it would be a huge waste. But at the end you need to decide what you like in your pc I just provide the facts/info. Edited by DST4ME - 19 Sep 2016 at 12:33am |
