  1. Cloud Stinger 2's are 230zł, I could stretch my budget to accomodate them, however I think I'll probably end up with the HD One's or ST Pro's from DNA.
  2. Try looking for apevia products on the PSU tier list: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ 650 watts should be enough, however depending on the quality of the power supply you might run into issues such as random shutdowns or increased noise.
  3. What is the psu in question?
  4. I'd reverse that combo, you always want more positive pressure in your case. 4 intake (sides) 3 exhaust (through the aio)
  5. Where do you want to mount the liquid cooler? If up top, it would be beneficial to flip the rear fan.
  6. How would you plan to install the AIO in that case? I'm asking because it seems like you want to top mount it as exhaust, in that case you'd need to reverse the rear fan to be intake to retain a slightly positive pressure inside of the case, if you do, I'd look into getting a reverse blade fan to keep the RGB side exposed. The normal rear fan could be mounted, on the PSU shroud? if that location supports fan mounting, you can have one fan blowing fresh air towards the GPU. Do you plan on getting white or colored cable extensions for that case?
  7. Did you make sure the case comes with a fan hub? I recommend watching a unboxing/review and looking out for any sort of hub, if you don't find one, you'll most likely need to buy one separately.

  9. Did you update the BIOS to a version that fixed the Intel instability issues? Did you have instability issues (out of video memory crashes) before?
  10. Wow, motherboards are cheap where you guys live, the same motherboard for us is like $110 or 440zł
  11. I thought I'd say that the Arc B580 has similar performance to the 7600 XT but is cheaper.
  12. I see them and I see the reviews, the major problem is that I'm rough on headphones as they're getting pulled off my head all the times, happen to fall, and I wouldn't put that much trust in such a slim headband, I see the knockoff grado pads make the 30's into basically over ears but I don't know if they'd survive with me for more than a couple of months tops. My point is - i'd like something sturdy, yet good sounding, however I doubt that there's a choice that fits all of the criteria: good sound, comfort and something I can trust to survive being potentially dropped or stepped on, I'm clumsy.
  13. I'll see a couple of reviews, then make my choice.
  14. I'm not an audiophile either. I just like to play games and listen to music or YouTube in the meantime.
