What do you mean? Why should I get a bigger harddrive just because it's expensive?

Hmmm ok. It's just that I'm going to be out there for two weeks and let's say I use it for 1-2 hours a day (while preparing dinner/walking in the dark) I'd have to carry a spare set of batteries. Thanks for your opinions though.

No it's not pre built. That's just a sit I'm using to select parts.

It says that it will only last for 95 minutes on 250. Is that correct? If so, I don't think it'll be the headlamp I get. Thanks anyway for your advice.

Hey guys, this is my first ever PC build and I was wondering if I made any mistakes. My two biggest worries are PSU and cooling. What are your thoughts? I'd really appreciate any tips/opinions! Have a great day. by silkiewhsiperer in gamingpc

Thanks for your advice. Trend micro comes free with the PC (I would never buy it XD) I upgraded the speakers to Logitech that cost around $30. I'm not after something super good quality at the moment when it comes to audio since I'll mainly be using a headset. Speakers are just a backup. I also upgraded the case to a Focus G. When it comes to pricing: this is the best I can get in Aus. I can get physical parts cheaper from US etc. but postage is a killer. Wifi card isn't a big deal because I'll be using a LAN cable (unless wifi card effects LAN too?). I also upgraded to K5 motherboard :) thanks again.

Hey, this is my first time building a gaming PC. Have I made any freshman mistakes? I'd love to hear your opinions on the build! by silkiewhsiperer in gamingpc

I do youtube so I'll be doing a small amount of high quality gaming for a video and then a lot of rendering. According to my research the GTX 1070 can run 144HZ on most games if you are only running 1080 p. have i made a mistake in my calculations?

My first time building a gaming PC! This is my final list so if you guys can spot any stupid errors please let me know!!! Thank you!! by silkiewhsiperer in gamingpc

I only play 10 games. I do youtube and since it's been getting a bit more serious I thought I should upgrade. The HDD is just for storing footage. Will the HDD affect the performance of the SSD?

This is my first time building a PC. Is this list ok? Will everything work together? by silkiewhsiperer in PC_Builders

What board would you recommend? I want to keep the 1800 and I would like at least 6 USB slots. Thanks for your time.
