Me gusta except the GPU and HDD. Not a fan of nvidia or Seagate (but that's personal preference).Pruskis wrote:Hi, so I am building a PC for myself, I study 'Multimedia', so basically I'll have to work a lot with Adobe Creative Suite and some Autodesk products.

Looking good.
But i had problems installing my h100i since the backplate was lose.
You should be able to fix that with some rubber washers though, if it happens.
Or you can use the h100 backplate if you have one of those lying around.
Zotac graphics is pure power with alot of noise. Gigabyte is silent and asus is usually inbetween.

I haven't played PR in quite a few months. Mainly since the newest release of drivers that's fixed a whole slew of problems the AMD cards have (that I never noticed or didn't have).Pruskis wrote:does PR still have black spots on terrain using AMD cards?
