Re: What do you play on?
For the first time in history she has a faster rig than I do, so yes she is "pleased". I did get a few toys for myself. Got 2 of the same 27inch 144hz qhd gaming monitors, also got a gtx980 (upgrade from 780) and I kicked my rig from 16 to 32gb of ram as well.
The m.2 SSDs are amazingly fast.
This is the first cube I have ever built. What you don't see in the photo is the power supply and cabling. There is a area on the backside of the motherboard that houses it. Makes cable management a breeze and zero heat from the power supply to impact the main cavity.
I also have a corsair heat synch/fan that goes over the memory but that single fan was louder by itself than the entire case is when idle. So I left it off. The ram already has heat spreaders on them so the fan was rather redundant anyway since I am not overclocking it.Last edited by Phyrelight; 02-18-16 at 10:34 AM.

Ironically, the HAF XM has probably one of the better designs both internally and externally that Cooler Master made, but they discontinued the model less than a year after introducing it. It's a fantastic case with hot-swap drive bays, an optionally coverable PSU slot, radiator support, 200mm fan support for everywhere except the 140mm back, and a hinged side panel instead of a slide-on. I've always wanted to recommend this case to people but apparently CM thought it wasn't good.
And yes, kitty likes to hide under things.salty99 liked this post

Nice upgrades. I've had a messy desk for so long that I've started getting vesa mounts for my monitors and going slightly nuts on cable management.
Also, excellent choice with those sennheisers - I was looking at a pair of those as well buy I haven't pulled the trigger on them yet.
What are your thoughts on them so far? I'd be curious to know if you would recommend them.

They're great. They have a detachable headphone cord, spacious ear cups, and high quality sound. They're also compact and lightweight. They took some serious burn in to sound right, and they're a little weak on the upper mids, but are otherwise great.
