I have a Cooler Master Storm Trooper case, MSI Z97 Gaming 7 mobo, 8GB GSkill ripjaws X, Intel core i7 4790k, and a pitiful miserable wothless Radeon HD 5770 poisoning my entire rig with its shabby useless self. It is an embarrassing abomination in my otherwise beastly rig. I am ashamed.
...unt how long have you felt zis vay?
Far too long Doctor, far too long. 6 months ago I was computing with a used .... cyberpower. DDR2, Pentium, the case fan was held on by only jiggly rubber grommets which had decayed so with age that one day they cracked and the fan went on a rampage in my case during a choppy session of System Shock 2. I almost wept.
I confess then I began ordering parts online. A gaming mobo with a Tron style light pipe to keep my audios crisp and punchy. It even says gaming on the board. The MSI logo makes my ish look like a Ferarri, all glowing and shiny. My metallic red ripjaws beg for my sweet hand bloods. My PSU is hefty, my case is a sublime obelisk far too large for my cheap 6 year old walmart computer desks frail and tiny workspace. My CPU I keep idle at a cool 4.0ghz. Its... a semi-giver.
But I ran out of $$$ before I could get a GPU.
Sometimes I just stare at it. I imagine what it will be like to open the case, and with a sneer, carefully remove its cancer from my beast, allowing its full potential to rize and grow more powerful still until we : together cannot be turned away from AAA titles and obscene system requirements. It is a marvelous vision.
Is that healthy? lol
