| Changes aren't that drastic indeed. Same PSU and a similar case. SSD is a bit better (and more expensive).
Well, for the HDD's I do understand it can take some time. All shops have a shortage, apparently most disks were assembled near Fukushima..
[EDIT for Endrane] Didn't seem necessary to get way over budget.. It will run the games quite decently won't it. I especially need CPU power for rendering lately anyway. And, the GPU was already packed for shipment. |

| FFFUUUUU...
They called again today, RAM isn't compatible with MOBO.. They found that out after almost a month. So I asked for compatible RAM, they had 1600mHz 8Gigs. I'd prefer more, but said it was fine.
Later, they call back: we ran out of that one too, would you like 4Gigs? I said: NOOOO, I want more then 4! Had to go for the 1333mHz 16Gigs, otherwise it would take forever to get the system. The SSD is delayed too (don't know why). But I told them to ship everything they have now, then I'll be able to play on Hard drive first, and when SSD comes in I'll format and start from scratch again.... |

| Man Van, who the hell did you go through? Is this their first business or is it one of those flight-by-night stores.. a mom & pop maybe?
I would never shop there, in fact, it would probably be quicker to cancel the order and by it somewhere else. gezzzz.
And Marcuz, stop distracting me. :p |

| Oh I see.. personally I would not deal with that much trouble, here it's just purchase stuff from Newegg (the best computer part seller EVAR) with free shipping and it's on your front porch within 3 days. xD |

| DO NOT go for 1333mHz it will slow down your system (bottleneck effect) if you want to have really good system all parts have to be efficient if its possible just get what they have and the rest get from somewhere else |

| I'm enjoying this. Playing multiple games. Launching a game while Indesign or other is still open.. Don't care about the extra rams it takes, still have 11gigs left most of the time I already had a G11 keyboard, I did complete the setup with a G700mouse. Only thing to do: Headset (i prefer to play without). Would be 5.1 or 7.1 or something. Other suggestions? |

| If I were you, I'd find a local place that sells them and that you can return. That is what I did for 2 months with headsets going from $50 to $250, simulated and true surround sound. Must of tried at least 4 pairs. |

| Hmm, over here there are very few shops that allow you to test them. Most of those stores are special audio ones, with sound only (no mic). And prices starting at 100euro's.. I ordered the G930 from logitech. I'm satisfied with G700, and it completes my Gear (G11-G700-G930). Should arrive quite soon, but these days it's hard to rely on shipping dates.. |
