    6 year old I7 2600k build getting a bit flaky. So I've just finished ordering the components for a new one.

    I9 7900x 10 core cpu
    evga x299 e-atx mb
    evga dg-87 case
    evga clc 280mm all in one water cooler
    corsair vengeance 2x16 ddr4 2666 memory
    logitech g903 gaming mouse
    gskill km780r rgb mechanical gaming keyboard
    wd 1 tb ssd
    seagate barracuda 4 tb hard drive
    asus external br/dvd/cd read/writer
    have unused corsair 750w modular PSU that I've used as a back up once.

    Maybe I'll be able to play SC fairly smoothly when 3.0 comes out:)

    Did you make sure to use my address when ordering these new pieces?


    also why a external drive when you got a full case?

    well.. most laptops don't come a with a drive these days. makes finding a good one that much harder.

    Found that most newer cases that support holding radiators don't have 5 1/4 bays, or the air flow situation is iffy.
