Computer Setup

All those stickers look dreadful, very nice otherwise!

Will be removing most of them. They are an eye sore how they currently sit. Will just rearrange and keep EVGA and i7 badge.

Oh geez that chair, I had to deal with a wooden chair for a while and it killed me if I sat in it for longer than an hour. Planning on getting a new one soon?

Hell yeah once I get enough dough. My neck and back dear god I'm sorry

Try spending some money on a chair and desk. It will greatly improve your space, comfort, and the visual appearance of the room!

Any recommendations on any? I hear the ikea Markus is good which I am considering but what about desks have a rather small room which limits me from getting an L desk:(

Could we have a link to the Fan Controller?

On mobile but it's called nzxt sentry 2 will add link soon

FINALLY another person with a trashbag handy!

Those are actually not trashbag(s) they are the cushy foamy protection paper the monitors came with! Which I use to cover them when sweeping or moving them around. Sorry to burst your bubble!

What is the name of that Case?

Love the Roccat gear! Great stuff

You buy gaudy overpriced "gaming" hardware?

Roccat was very expensive but IMO worth it. Of course not everyone would agree, this is all opinion based. I could've gone with razer, or rosewill etc but I chose otherwise. The build quality and feel of the mouse/keyboard are REALLY comfortable and the features combined with the products is just CRAZY. Only gripe is the mousepad not really all that. But by then I chose it to match it all, so I was paying a premium price for looks which aren't half bad.

You could have bought a modest case that's not so giant and is still plenty capable of holding the components and cooling them. You could have bought a Logitech mouse and a Das Keyboard that both won't be giant and reek of 13 year olds. You could have bought a pair of MDr-7506 or ATH-M50s with a Mod Mic. With the money left over you could get an IKEA desk that won't require a kitchen table for your computer.

I mean, yeah, of course. but again your points are mostly opinion based. Das lacks the backlighting, I do have logitech mouses as spares (M510 and or Performance MX). I went with Sennheisers 360 because they were the better option in value and price. Similar performance of Sennheisers 598s with a mic and lower price. (tired of waiting for modmic 4.0). The case honestly just hit the sweet spot, beginner friendly and great looking had I found a similar like case in a smaller form factor I would've gotten it. I appreciate your input! Never say never a more simplistic build sounds great. Its unfortunate you get that vibe of 13 year old reek though might want to get that checked out lol. I kid I kid.

You waste 3k on a computer and still live in your parent's basement? That's pretty shameful.

Yeah, well thats like your opinion man. I'd hate to provide specifics about my life, but this was not a waste. I will admit I splurged quite a bit but this is not shameful mostly everyone is guilty of doing it :)

Anyone who pays 3 grand on a PC will probably also be paying rent for staying there. Perhaps OP has reasons why they want to stay with their parents, like education or work (ie only affordable properties are too far from school or work to warrant moving out)?
