Computer Setup

Nice! What mouse is that?

TTeSports Theron mouse. It's 69.99 normally, but I got it for 29.99 from Newegg over labor day

Sick setup. I see you're a fan of Corsair. GOOD CALL. Also, I have the same keyboard, what kind of keys do you have??

Brown switches. I really like them. Perfect for high keyboard action RTS games like Starcraft. Really nice feel and sound.

That's exactly what I have. I love em man!

Nice, I have the same case as that. Pretty nice,eh?

It's majestic. So much room, so much cooling, so many helpful cable management things. I don't love the drive bays, but I don't hate them either.

Looks sleek and nice. Although I can't help but cringe from the lack of a mousepad. I think I know how you feel - I spent a long time looking at mouse pads and couldnt find one big enough, sturdy enough, or low-maintenance enough but heres a protip. The leather semicircular writing surfaces from IKEA are perfect mouse pads and look really nice too. Also since they have a steel plate on the inside they dont move and the lip that comes over the edge of the table means that if your desk has a sharp edge you can rest your wrist on it without it getting a rash / sore etc.

Haha, you're the first person to notice! I actually have a really really ugly mouse pad that I removed for the pictures. I ordered a nice mouse pad with the build, but it's been back ordered for like 3 weeks. Really frustrating for a $15 peripheral...I might just cancel it, and head to Ikea. Thanks for the tip.

Hey was this your first build? If it was, did you find it difficult to build? I'm looking to build a desktop in the near future. Thanks! :)

Tip for next time, install the CPU cooler as one of the first things you do, makes it a lot easier if you install your GPU and route cables afterwards

Do you play SC2 on low settings like the pros ?

Low settings, ultra textures. I find that the best way to see invisible units.

I'm only diamond, so I am playing on everything maxed, because it just looks so incredible. I was previously playing on a lap top, so I'm just soaking in all the extras feels and sounds for now on ultra settings. I haven't really heard any reasons to keep the settings low, but maybe I'll drop them down if that's the consensus of the community.
