Please dont hate me for zero cable management.

If anyone's curious it can run games like CS:GO at 175-200 frames at medium settings.

I've tried managing it all but i always end up pulling everything out, but i dont have a window in my case so i'd only be doing it to increase airflow.

 
UGH

I really can't be bothered updating my shit and cleaning my desk for photos.

Here is my old pcpartpicker post

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/JJQ7YJ

The only differences are now are that have a nh-c14 cooler on my cpu and it is overclocked to 4.2ghz and I got a blue cold cathode in.

2 Monitors.

ath-m50's through a fiio e10 amp/dac with modmic 3 attatched.

I will update this post in the future when I can be bothered.

Best case of all time.

Fellow fractalbro!

 
no idea computer specs, it does what I need it to. Run with 2 monitors; 24" secondary with 36" ultra wide curved sexy primary :D

you must have spent a few quid on your set up, bout time you upgraded the monitor! ;-)

Am also a Razer fan boy, got the lefty Death Adder mouse and Death Stalker keyboard

5.1 surround sound on GX Gaming speakers, 7.1 on Sennheiser headset.

My fps in games like DayZ is around 40fps, Heroes and Generals around 100.

Am not much in the know about puter specs. Yours looks pretty neat :-)

36'' Curved? Im awfully jealous :P I would have a nicer monitor but after all the parts were bought, i had next to no money left so i just stole it from my old desktop :lol:

 
I watch tv and netflix etc from my desk so a decent monitor is more important than the PC itself :-) buying it cleared my overdraft out tho lol :D

Razer are the biggest con going, they overprice and their products are crap. I work in the computer industry and I have seen it first hand ha.

Yeah my monitors are only 60hz, I need to upgrade however I have a tattoo to pay for first.

I can play any game I desire at the highest settings hehehehehe.

as I said, don't know much about PCs, the Razer bits I have seem ok though :-)

ahh tattoos, now we talking, got this going on at the mo, probs another 40hrs to go on it before it'll be finished:

I'd agree that they are mostly overpriced, but then so are all gaming peripherals. Having said that the Blackwidow used to be one of the cheapest mechanical keyboards on the market.

But they are (generally) not crap, there's a reason why the majority of pro's use Deathadders.

If you want something which really is crap, gaming headsets.

I got a mardi gras girl smoking on my right bicep.

This on my right arm just under my wrist;

Next one I am going for is a female stormtrooper surrounded by roses in the traditional syle of tattoo with red shading and thick black outlines. Completely custom and being drawn and done professionally by an award winning parlour.

Hence why I have ath-m50's through a fii0 e10 with a modmic 3 on
