$1500 gaming build help

well the toughpower's one of thermaltake's good units, and it has a 5 year warranty compared to 3 years on the cs650m, so i'll call that a win for you , even if its non modular

yar man, non-modular is a big turn off

Will try again tomorrow, dunno how successful is haggling over the phone...I'll point out I'm buying whole system from them already, so count the SeaSonic as my 'discount' can already lol.

Good Luck!!

remember, even though you gotten discount thru coupons, the discount is from qoo10 side. Means to say, Videopro will still be paid by qoo10 for the full listed price

Well they're both semi-mod, the cpu connectors are hard wired, other cables modular.

Also after I complained on the item page, they offer to upgrade to the Corsair CS750m model for me, no extra charge lol! Corsair is slightly easier to work with when assembling so prolly going with it now.

Lol mysteriously after they told me that, suddenly got shipment of the cs650ms!

Ah well, all assembled but I'm still shopping for a cheap mechanical keyboard below $100. Either a Tesoro Excalibur or E-Element 77 (no warranty and off Carousell for this one tho)

Or I just don't think about a mechanical keyboard and get some Logitech $25 rubber dome one first heh.

Kay so I got my PC all fine and dandy for couple of weeks

Now I'm wondering if I want to install more case fans cause if I don't turn on my aircon, I get scared for the heat build-up lol.

At the side where you can see the LED light, thinking about adding another case fan. It should be an intake fan right, to blow the cool air over the GPU + other components?

Currently there's one intake case fan in front, one exhaust in the back, came with the case.

it can be either intake or exhaust without issues. i have 3 exhaust fans and 1 intake fan and it still works and cools well whats the total damage btw?

$1,425 was for the original buy list (including monitor), after getting the casing and a mechanical keyboard, totals out at $1,567.

A bit over my $1500 budget, but still count lah

Thank gawd hong bao money helps offset some cost loool.
