What do you guys think is better a 970 black edition or a 970 wind force ?

Apart from clockspeeds (usually isn't much to be honest) and the styling they will be the same. There isn't really much that distances the same cards today. They are both good so get whichever is the best deal.

I will probably only have windows on the ssd and what is a good price for a 3.5 ghz i5?

Not sure but you could always look on eBay and see what kind of deal you can get. If you're in the UK you could look on Scan.co.uk which is a pretty decent site, I've got quite a few components off there and so far no issues with them.

eBay you can get decent parts if you're willing to look around. I've just bought an old EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClock which cost £40 + £5 for delivery, I didn't need it but I like them so it was an impulse purchase.

My R9 280X with 3gb of DDR5 has been doing very well with modern games lately.

Few hiccups with GTA5 due to AMD, but runs 50-90fps on high-ultra settings (all the advanced graphics and distances turned off). And been running really well with project cars, maxing out everything except shadows and reflections (to keep it smooth). Also none of the issues that the 290 cards are having

Just started to collect parts for a new build, my 5 year old PC is starting to show its age.

Starting off with a Mini ITX and a Lian Li.

I have the case, but i'm waiting for all the new lineup of GPU's to be released.

How do you guys get neat cable managements?

My case looks like a rats nest inside with explosions of cables everywhere, and my poor attempt at cable managements only made the inside 1000xs worse... :closedeyes:

Be gentle with the Corsair cooler. Also that WD Green drive, if you're doing anything more than archiving, you're gonna have a bad time.

Corsair is holding up really good at the moment as i have overclocked it to 4.2Ghz without any dramas. I will order WD Black 1TB drives, agreed the Green will cause trouble other than mass storage as its limited to 5200rpm versus the 7200rpm of Blue and Black.

Corsair 450D:
Gigabyte Z97X-SOC:
i7-4790K+H100i:
Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133 (4GBx2):
Acer 24":
Gigabyte GTX 770 2GB:
840 EVO 240GB, Seagate 4TB(s):
Windows 8.1 + OS X 10.8.2:
M65, K40, NZXT Hue:

It's overkill for the games that I play.

The WD greens are nice and quiet though. But horribly slow.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
