My new PC has arrived and I've fit the first of my 2 x 980's (just waiting for sale of my last pc to pay for the second).

PC: HAF-X, ASUS X99-S, i7-5930K, H100i, 16GB Kingston Hyper-X Predator DDR4 3000MHz, 250GB Samsung 840 EVO, 2TB Caviar Black, MSI GTX 980 (adding a second soon).

Monitor: Benq BL3200PT 32" 1440p monitor

Interface: Saffire 6

Speakers: Adam A7X


Pictures are a bit crap as my proper camera was out of battery. I'll upload some nicer ones when I get a chance (& I've had a tidy). :)

I've not had time to properly test her out yet but I ran the Grid 2 benchmark maxed at 1440p and got a solid 60 FPS (V-Sync was on, I'm sure it would go over easily). Will add a proper review when I've had more time with it.

the case is great, loads of room, great airflow, nice solid construction. Can't go wrong with it. :)

PC has been spot on. Been playing a bit of Far Cry 4 and Crysis 2 at Ultra 1440p, smooth as hell. Taking everything I can throw at it in Cubase too, it's a beast.

That is some keyboard as well :D

My current PC is : i7 860 2.8ghz, ATI HD5570, (Mobo...dread to think)......4yrs old now & not ideal for Battlefield 4. Hoping something new will help :)
