Re: Your Gaming comp?
Very nice faxter, a very well balanced system.
I know the Haswell refresh CPUs are a fair bit cooler than the originals but it still pains me to see you using the stock cooler. Spent even just £30 or £40 on an aftermarket cooler and you'll lower your CPU temps and make it silent.

Re: Your Gaming comp?
Thanks for the hint, something like that would be the next investment, I think.
On the other hand, I've been watching my temperatures and have not gotten into smth I would consider dangerous. With full load CPU doesn't get much hotter than 60°C (measured from Motherboard), GPU stays below 80°C. But yeah, it does get a little bit louder, but I'd need to put the headset off to be able to hear it.
I'm not overclocking and the airflow seems to be alright. I was actually thinking about an additional chassis fan, but it's not an urgent issue for me.

Re: Your Gaming comp?
Should be getting a new PC this month. Current one is getting a bit long in the tooth - it can't even play directX 11 games, which are lot of new ones coming out require now (specifically the new Civ game, Beyond Earth). It'll also be good have some decent frames in TF2 and actually be able to play Scout again. It's amazing how much performance has dropped in that over the past year or so.
Re: Your Gaming comp?
Faxter - Chassis fans might be a really good idea, looking at your case it doesn't have very much airflow and upto 80c is pretty hot for the gigabyte 760. You should be looking at around 60-68c for your 760 at full load with it clocked much higher than the factory overclock. A decent 120mm exhaust and a side intake if you don't already have one should help your temps all round.
Aras- yes I'm waiting on those GTX 970 prices, if they drop a little in a few months I'll be having one.
Precizion - damn, if I remember right you're pretty good with scout. Are you sure you don't want a new TV or washing machine instead? Or how about that a small holiday? NO? damn we're all screwed.

Photo needs to be uploaded somewhere, I use http://abload.de for example. Pick the direct (!) link. It needs to end with an image extension like .jpg or .png!
It is this link you put between the BBCode image tags like this for example:
Also nice pun. *cough*
