Det er virkeligt dyrt at købe i DK. Fik selv lavet min pc til 2k dollars som ellers kun ville ha kostet mig 500-600 dollars i selve USA.

 

Det noget lort - Man kan så tilgængeld bestille fra USA privat uden at told får fat på dig.

Beast 512gb SSD! Invest in some nice peripherals such as blackwidow and naga/deathadder by razer.

I'm gonna buy the Corsair cherry MX RBG keyboard. Which is far better than any razer imo.

Razer products are pretty awful. Blackwidow got chinese Kailh switches instead of real German Cherry switches and overall quite poor build quality. Deathadder is pretty good, but quite pricey for what you get.

Gonna be a nice build. You sure 4tb is enough for your pr0n collection though?

[ZOBMOJ]

looks nice, could do with some minor improvements, money well spent
