lolwut? i5-4690k and i7-4790k are due out on the 25th. It is definitely worth it to wait a week and half.

Do you want one with the numpad? I got a CoolerMaster Quickfire Rapid with Cherry MX browns. It's the 10 keyless model that saves a LOT of desktop space. These go on sale often. I paid $55? for mine.

Newegg's house brand Rosewill sells Cherry keyed boards for a low price.

Also, nice thing about this board is that it uses an actual PCB that's backed up with a hunk of aluminum, and not this cheap shit found on membrane boards. Tough as hell, too. The first thing my girlfriend did to it was to fall asleep and tip half a glass of wine into it. I blasted it off with canned air; it was good as new after that. I did have to remove some keycaps to unstick some sticky keys, though. That wine would have killed any membrane board.

Yeah, I did a few Google searches earlier, and it said something about devil's canyon coming out in September.. wasn't going to wait that long with no PC, but I can definitely wait till the 25th for sure, so I'm probably gonna do that.

This is a REALLY good PowerSupply for a REALLY fucking good price, don't miss out if you are building a new system and are looking for a PSU similar to this one. It is a no brainer.

Others can confirm but this PSU is probably one of the best PSU's you can buy for most (all?) single GPU builds.

I love my Seasonic PSU, I'll never buy another brand

^ ditto. I'm not ashamed to say I would probably be classified as a SeaSonic fanboy. They are the only PSU's I'll ever buy now.

I think most of us know that but I will still only ever buy SeaSonic personally. I've used Corsair/Antec rebranded PSU's in friend/family's builds but mine will never have it. I tell them the same exact thing so they're educated at least (that some Corsair/Antec are just rebranded SeaSonic).

FYI for those that don't know,JonnyGURU.comis one of the best sites to go to for PSU advice/reviews. They seem to go very in depth there and know what the hell they're doing when it comes to PSU's.

Does anyone on here have a computer they have built or could help build specifically for AutoCad?

I find myself having to use it more and more for work. I was going to buy a new laptop but I highly doubt I would ever need to Cad on the go. Our work computers are straight horseshit so I am thinking about building a new rig just for AutoCAD (and PS) work.

Side note: yes I know my work maybe/could/should pay for it, that's a whole nother story. Just looking for build advice.

I'm a big fan of PC Power&Cooling. I've had a 750W model for 4-5 years now.

Had it on bitcoin mining duty for a while with 3x6970 without problems while a 850W Corsair died after 3 months (same 3x6970 setup).
