Typing this on my new PC. Ostrog GT red case, awesome looking... I7 4790k, 8gb 2400 Ram, GT 970 , MSI z97 Military Class mobo, 3 TB HD and 120 GB SSD, Cooler Master Evo monster of a heatsink, Corsair 600 power supply...
The last PC I built before that one was about 10 years ago, so it was really fun to get back into the "Game", so to speak. It's also the first PC I build as an adult, using my own funding, meaning... OVERBOARD without any restrictions from Parents and reasonable , sane persons. Yes, i'm really paying THAT much for that component... No, I don't want a budget alternative...
Black Friday came, and with it, my bank account mysteriously got depleted... It's as if a small ghastly midget had decided to take over my body and ensure I would not be tempted to use my PS4 ever again for anything other than exclusives like Bloodborne and ... Well those other exclusives that might eventually be good... Like Uncharted ?
1400 Bucks later, I have a Kickass pc that will hopefully run all games at very high settings. The only problem so far, my GT 970 vid card is somehow stuck in limbo in Vancouver because, apparently, weather issues... Weather shchelter, I want it now Purolator, the rest of the system is running flawlessly and I want to play dem games already !!! Two days of supposed bad weather when the worldwide weather forcecast for Canada seems to be okay, seems like bull to me... But all I can do is wait... And mope playing crap that can run on the Intel onboard HD... So not much.
The only thing that makes it less grating is the fact I have like a gazillion different games and programs to install , so I guess I can wait a couple of days for the card while I prep the system and get the games ready... Migrating is always rather long since I tend to tweak everything on my PC and install alot of stuff, and that steam library has to download itself anyway...
And I do have a quite the backlog too, my old Laptop had issues with newer games and I had Disk Space issues (had less than 1tb combined space for all my stuff) , making it so that I only installed games I was hell bent on playing... Now I'll be able to install all these Humble Bundle and steam sales games I wanted to try but could not because I had almost no free space left.
The few finishing touches will have to wait though.. I ordered a red led strip and two more red led fans from China/Ebay, so hopefully I'll get those before the new year (Which I doubt since it's so slow usually). This will the total amount of fans in my PC to 8, not counting the power supply and video card fans... Including 6 Red Led Fans... Should be really cool looking... It's already pretty cool ,but slightly too dark since the window is tinted and the 4 current led fans are not enough to light up the whole board and components. Hopefully the strip and two other fans will fix that.
