can you explain a bit about psu's because i dont know what makes one psu better than the other


The Corsair CX series uses cheap Chinese capacitors which don't tolerate stressful heat and load situations. For that reason, the CX750 is not recommended for high-end builds. Here's a better one:

The i7 4790k is good enough and you could easily get dual 970's for that price point. You also should not get the Sennheiser headphones as they are very difficult to drive. I would recommend getting headphones with a lower impedance.

6 core processors already give better performance in some of the newer games and I believe it will be the trend of most newer games with the new game engines.

Yeah, probably a server error, better ask the mods.

I know, it wasn't meant to be literal.

Anyways, what is that 404 error. It seems to be getting more and more common around here.

@TheMagicalWallaby
Something about a 404 not found.

Well, two cards still don't make the build twice as powerful:)

You actually don't need X99 builds unless you'r doing heavy editing/rendering and stuff like that.
