Lovely custom loop Staryu, I want to get into watercooling but I don't even have an adequate system at the moment. That, and for the cost I would rather run more hardware off air. Is that a Fractal Design R5?

Waiting for my review sample PSU then I can get to work on my new build, shouldn't be more than a few weeks I hope.

Erm, why a 980 Ti and a reg 980? not gonna be able to sli those. Unless you're planning on getting rid of the 980 for another Ti ;D


980 was my old card, replaced it with the 980Ti, don't worry I'm not silly :p


Phew ;D some people just don't get it sometimes :P

Also I'm with you on the custom loop wants, but I think that may wait til my next comp when I can drop like 5gs into it and am out of this hellhole of a state. Can't even use my comp during the day in the summer without it going to 50+ on an H110i cooler. :3

So outside of posting to confirm for HLFTS I don't think I've ever posted on here.
Here's my setup I got this summer:

Once I actually have a really wellpaying job I might do a custom loop but this looks nice for now. I also have to turn my PSU around because the fan is on top and not on the bottom. I will get to that once I get some custom-sleeved cables for my PSU.

The parts list is on a list from PCPartPicker in the album.

Temps are not that high. CPU is max 45 degrees Celsius and GPU gets to around 66-68 degrees Celsius and it is quite warm in my room right now.

Ermmmmmm, idk where even in the world you could buy a system like that..

That gfx card.. while it could prob play rs fine in max detail, would struggle with just about everything else. That they even make a 512 MB card anymore is shocking.

IF you are buying a new comp for the SOLE reason of playing rs better that'll do.

If you plan on using it for anything else beyond rs (hell, even multitasking while playing rs..) find a comp with at least 2GB memory on the GPU.

For real though had I not looked up that gfx card I'd have passed it off as a good setup for rs, but that if you buy it is simply a rip off in my view.

TL;DR:
The GFX card in the setup you posted is more dinosaur than is worth paying money for anymore in the tech world.
