It's 1100, but it's what you asked for. You can cut costs by going for a cheaper case (you'll probably skimp out on wire management and get bad thermals, so I wouldn't), skip the disk drive (install windows via usb), downgrade the chip to a 6300 (I've heard great things, but it's ultimately up to you), or ofc, drop the 2nd monitor.

This has all my want.

Why would you show him builds without any monitors when he has explicitly stated that he wants two?

Try this I guess. If going 60 over bothers you, you can downgrade to an FX 6300. That hits 1k flat, but the 8350 is worth it if you can spare the money.

Do you guys know anywhere to get a bunch of blank keycaps so that I can replace the printed ones on my quickfire rapid?

redban + toxic ._.

I mean, I understand the benefits of it and everything, and I know which ones are good. My question is if it's even worth the extra money if the only games that benefit are source games.

So I've been thinking a lot about whether or not I should get a 120hz monitor. The main reason that I've been confused about it is because I can't pull anything about 50 fps on anything that isn't a source game or an old game. Is it really worth the difference to get a 120hz monitor, or should I just hold off until I get an upgrade?

I feel like posting my build would probably get me better advice.

FX-4170
Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
XFX R7870
2x8GB GSkill 1600 MHZ
Sandisk Extreme 120 GB SSD

That's basically all that's relevant to how my games play.
I get good temps. 44 C max on 100% load on the CPU, like 65 @ 100% on the GPU

Bump, redbans pipes scare me.

I absolutely love your videos. They're so good and clean and crisp and they genuinely give me that fuzzy feeling inside.

This isn't really a thread because I need to buy a new keyboard or anything, just wondering who likes what key switch. I'm personally in love with the feel and sound of my MX Blues.
