Deals, Discounts, and Best PC Component Buys & Builds in Desktops · Jul 12, 2016

Hey 🕺

Look, I'm putting this rig together for my buddy, and yeah, I know a thing or two about building PCs (well, enough to get by)

Here’s the build I've got lined up. My budget is basically the absolute max, no wiggle room at all $967 and that's just without even counting a case $945, based on prices from Acquisitum in Denver (trying to grab everything from one spot)

So, what's the deal? Is there anything here that's just extra fluff? Anything I can swap out to shave some cash off the total? Also, would it be worth upgrading to 2 sticks of RAM if I can squeeze some savings elsewhere?

Thanks for the tips. Quick question though—do you happen to know if those first SonusArt headphones actually block out noise well?[/url][/I]

Headphone recommendations? in Computer Peripherals · Oct 23, 2015

Hey.
Thinking about picking up some new headphones to use at home on my rig. I need something that can handle both gaming and music, but I don't want some cheap junk that falls apart in a week. Having decent bass would be a huge plus, though I honestly don't care about the mic.
Budget is around $100.
Anyone got any recommendations or know of something that fits the bill?
