    My god @RevolvingPrawn  I so want this motherboard. http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/msi-releases-x99a-godlike-gaming-motherboard.html

    Its RGB, so can become any colour which would make life so much easier for us, I get it costs an arm and a leg though.
    Just noticed that the LED's come from under some of the heatsinks and armour parts, all of the red bits are still actually red :( They might as well have not made it RGB and just stuck red lights in there instead because it'd still look stupid in a rig with any colour theme that isn't red and black :(

    When will these companies learn that not every gamer wants black and bloody red damnit!

    @Platy I envy you putting that all together :p One of my favourite things about being a PC Gamer was building my PC :) Have fun!
    Same, but we are sad like that :joy: Putting it together is almost more fun than playing games for me. Platy has the same GPU as my bro, it is insanely quiet, the fans don't even spin until it hits a certain temp. Got to save for my next upgrade, then I might give my brother my motherboard and CPU for his birthday in November.
    So true lol, that moment as well when you fire it up for the first time and it's all just bang on, love that! Plus the constant tweaking and trying to get more out of it while also trying to get the best temps, it's kind of addictive lol. I'm thinking my CPU and mobo will probably go to my stepdad when I do upgrade, but I'm pretty sure I won't be going for Intel's next round of CPU's, more likely the ones after that.

    Anyway, hope you're taking pics of your PC for the PC Thread @Platy :p 

  3. Loot Crate :p You pay £20 a month for it (cheaper with a longer subscription) and each month you get a box full out geeky type items sent to your door, the interesting bit is you don't know what'll be in it :p 

    Have a look at the link below, shows what came in some of the previous crates :) https://www.lootcrate.com/past_crates

  4. Been thinking about doing this for a while now, one of the guys I work with gets them and he's loved them (to the point that he wore the blow-up crown that came with one for an entire day at work lol) so I figured I'd give it a try :) 

    Also bought some blinds to finally replace my old ass curtains, but they aren't as interesting!

    I spent most of the day playing Euro Truck Simulator 2, really hooked on it although I wish I had a H shifter like I did when I last played it (when I had a G27). Might even but the expansions, but I'll probably wait until Steam sale as the game is plenty big enough as it is.
    I played the demo using the H shifter, it was fantastic :p Haven't played it since I bought it in the sale but I'm sure I heard there's a multiplayer mod? :p

    Cheers dude, changed and ordered as they only had 1 left lol.

    Using my current one, should fit but I can always upgrade for cheap.

    Edit: and yeah, not planning on upgrading again for a while. Only thing I will add will be an SDD after my next payday. I know they're awesome but its something I can wait on.
    No problem bud, glad to help :) SSD is a must when funds allow though, it's one of the things that when you upgrade to gives you the most noticeable increase in speed :)

    Installed Windows 10 Insider Preview on my crappy PC that's made out of spare parts today. It's pretty awesome! Really like what they've done with it so far. The best thing to me though was the Edge browser, loads up extremely quickly compared to Chrome, and websites are much faster, quicker, and more responsive. Really looking forward to having the full release on my main PC now!

    So looking at getting the following -

    Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Processor
    Gigabyte GA-H97-HD3 Mobo
    MSI GeFore GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V
    Corsair CX 600W PSU

    Trying to be brave enough to pull the trigger, probably going to cost more than my PC first cost lol >.<
    Personally bud, I'd look at a different PSU if I were you. The CX range is Corsair's budget PSU's. Take a look at this and see what you think, it's what I'd go for instead because it's 80PLUS Gold instead of Bronze. Also it has 54 amps on the 12v rail instead of the 46 amps of the Corsair one. It also has 2x 6+2pin PCI-E cables instead of just 2x 6pin ones. So if you decide to change GPU in the future you'd likely not have to change PSU at the same time.

    Otherwise that's gonna be an awesome PC :) You using your current case or getting a new one?

  8. I've broken many things lol, too many to post any stories about. Part of my spine is one of them but it's a boring story and these days it only hurts when I've been sat in the same position for too long. Otherwise everything else healed up fine (ankle, wrist, arm x2, fingers, toes, etc).

    @fIsince08 I'd have crashed on purpose just to make sure it got splatted and couldn't sting me haha :p 

  9. @Hughesy Clearly the exchange rate doesn't apply to the new Elite controller :( It should be £95 if it's $150. Hoping this isn't the final price but if it is I might just hold off on it for a while.

  10. My PC has a bug. Literally, there's a bug stuck between my exhaust fan and the grill of the case. I dunno if I should run some antivirus or not. For now I've just turned the fan to full speed so I can giggle every time I hear it ping off a fan blade :D 

  11. If Buemi managed to get past Senna at the end when he was side by side then that would have been the best finish! Would've beaten the 2008 Brazilian GP finale.

    Formula E is so damn awesome.
    I wanted him to ram Senna into the wall to get past. Senna's crashed in pretty much every race so far so it wouldn't have been any different for him.
