[Mp4]

Well my pc is fairly old now Q6600 and 8GB ram ive added a usb 3 pice card too.

Thinking about upgrading or even moving to a mac. I now tend to do a lot of Photography and use Lightroom & Photoshop.


Though id like to at least play Anno games on max without a hasstle as i do have a lot of games on Steam id like to keep etc.


At this point its just to get ideas! ranges from cheap £500 to 3k

New case to new keyboard and mouse & windows 10

Case comes with yellow light option.

Three Viper fans for the front, two for the cooler, one for the rear.

OS/Programs drive, Games drive, M.2 Lightroom drive. 2TB storage drive + 2TB backup.

An MSI Lightning card would be ideal for this but no more in stock. Nevermind - Gigabyte Xtreme has yellow leds as per Stulid's post below.

 

[stulid]

Gigabyte Xtreme cards are RGB, easy to do yellow.

Especially the air cooler one, not just the logo but it has "angel eyes" around the three fans.

Edit - the 980ti that is, no idea about the 970.


Edit 2,

i think it does also light up the fans like this,

Yeah it does,

 

[Danny75]

Totally forgot about the Giga Xtreme. Thanks Stulid. Nice that the 970 also has that.

Will edit post.
