Keep in mind that some of us use our systems and graphics cards for more than just rendering things on our screens for our viewing pleasure. It's just a nice bonus that "overkill" setups can run games pretty well too. I personally don't even really do that much gaming, maybe a few hours a week total on average, even though I do like messing around with them now and then. As far as gaming goes, mostly I just play on my Minecraft servers.
Not saying this is the case for everyone with "overkill" setups though, of course. A lot of hardware potential is likely also wasted on people with money to burn. (Shame really. They could at least be putting it to good use while they're not using it.)

You should probably use spoilers, but 4 monitors with an R7 240? Also 32 GB ram?
...and you shouldn't quote his whole wall o' text Mostly custom built, but it's an HP? R7 240 which requires 400W on a system with a 180W power adapter? Interesting. Also curious about "(1 x 4 GB, 1 x 2 GB)". How does that work hehe.
The card has a 30W TDP it requires no more power than that, at least on its own.
When you see AMD or Nvidia (or any of the AIBs) saying stuff like you need a 400W PSU for an R7 240, that's a somewhat overestimated guess at what a system using that card will probably draw to avoid people using crappy PSUs that SHOULD be able to power it and the rest of the system fine but cant because their rating is inaccurate.
Ah. Man, that's a bit of a crazy overquote on power then, 370 watts worth lol.

Yeah, best to look at what the cards and system can actually drain rather then just PSU recommendations.
My GPU cards are upwards of around 225W each, being OCed a bit and between about 85 to 95% loaded pretty much all the time. Got a few fans in there as well, so I'm sure that adds a bit onto everything else, but I think they're likely only maybe draining about 3 watts on average anyway (PWM), since they're not at full speed all the time. I like to overshoot a bit with my PSU anyway too though for better power efficiency. So, going with a higher potential PSU than what your system actually drains is good for that too, looking at the power efficiency curve.
Granted, a lot of people probably don't take all this into account when building their systems. Good enough may be good enough for them, especially considering that their setups likely aren't running and loaded all the time.

Nice job with the wiring, that's very clean. I never have the patience for that, lol.
My thoughts exactly. I mean, just what the heck is this...
It's beautiful. I like how the front-header cable seems to visit the entire case. First we visit the top of the case, then we see the IO shield- and let's go underneath the CPU power connector for no reason, and then squeeze beside the CPU Fan and flip up and wrap around the connectors going to the graphics card, until finally finding our way to the motherboard header. And then a bunch of the other cables I don't even know what they are for just sort of twist around everything else.
I also have like 2 SATA cables that are plugged into the motherboard but are too loosely connected to use and I can't get at them to plug them in all the way or remove them because there isn't nearly enough clearance between the case and the horizontal-mount SATA connectors. "tidy up the inside of my PC case" is rather low on my list of things I can do if I get really bored. Basically When I am inside the case I want to get out ASAP. For some reason I have this fear that in the process of doing something that doesn't really affect it's function like cleaning up the cabling I will somehow end up troubleshooting the system for the next 3 hours, and realistically proper cabling would probably go under the motherboard like in 3COT3CH's pic which would mean practically rebuilding the entire thing... so I just ignore it because I can't see it anyway. I was considering 'practicing' the task on my old PC but then I went and made it into a CI and postgres server that I sort of need.
I'm not sure if any of you guys remember, but the last upgrade I did was switching out my old Antec Nine Hundred case with a Corsair 750D, my Corsair H80i cooler with a Corsair H110, and getting several of the higher end Noctua fans.
Anyway, point being that in my old case I didn't have an area behind the motherboard in the case for wires and the case was a lot smaller. It did pretty well, actually, but was a lot more cramped and cluttered than my setup is now. So, in getting the new case setup, I decided to take a little extra time to do it right, since I could.
I can also understand if you're changing out things now and then how it can add to the clutter as well if you don't feel like rewiring things. Since my system components were already all together, I didn't have to contend with that either in the new setup.
I'm actually kind of proud in a way of how well my old, cramped case did for what it was, but the newer setup is easier to keep clean other than also looking kind of sharp (if I may say so). I've never really been one for show rigs as far as my own builds go (function over form), but this is probably the closest that I've been to something like that without being... pretentious. (For my own needs, I'm not much of a fan of lighting LEDs, colored cabling, nor similar.) To each their own though.
I'm most likely going to stick with this setup for quite some time until its next overhaul when I replace the motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

Haha. The sensor is really annoying. Also, yeah nice PC. The PSU could be slightly better. I can't complain about the case since I haven't seen it much before. Though it does look nice.

I've worked with it twice. It's really a great case; big, open, easy to work with. For the price, it's hard to beat.It probably would have been my second choice had I not gotten my Enthoo Primo.
Thumbs up to Edya for picking it.
Cool then! Nice build Edya!
In other news since I updated my build, I got the 960 yesterday. A bit of a hassle to install the drivers under Linux, but it worked, and I'm getting a solid 120-250 fps on 16 chunks, smooth lightning maximum, fancy, etc. On shaders I get a solid 70-90 fps on packs like Chocapic, Sildurs, and KUDAS. I don't like SUES too much but I may try it to see the frames. Temps are great! I'll probably get Shadow of Mordor and a few others here soon as they've been announced for Linux by Feral.
You might say the psu is overkill but 10years warranty and jonnyguru gold award should speak for itself.
Overkill maybe, but I usually buy overkill too (my PSU is a 1250W heh) because it's good to leave room for growth. It's nice to never worry whether or not you have enough juice for some upgrade.
Keep in mind that some of us use our systems and graphics cards for more than just rendering things on our screens for our viewing pleasure. It's just a nice bonus that "overkill" setups can run games pretty well too. I personally don't even really do that much gaming, maybe a few hours a week total on average, even though I do like messing around with them now and then. As far as gaming goes, mostly I just play on my Minecraft servers.
Not saying this is the case for everyone with "overkill" setups though, of course. A lot of hardware potential is likely also wasted on people with money to burn. (Shame really. They could at least be putting it to good use while they're not using it.)

Cool then! Nice build Edya!
In other news since I updated my build, I got the 960 yesterday. A bit of a hassle to install the drivers under Linux, but it worked, and I'm getting a solid 120-250 fps on 16 chunks, smooth lightning maximum, fancy, etc. On shaders I get a solid 70-90 fps on packs like Chocapic, Sildurs, and KUDAS. I don't like SUES too much but I may try it to see the frames. Temps are great! I'll probably get Shadow of Mordor and a few others here soon as they've been announced for Linux by Feral.

Overkill maybe, but I usually buy overkill too (my PSU is a 1250W heh) because it's good to leave room for growth. It's nice to never worry whether or not you have enough juice for some upgrade.
PS, nice avatar. Mogumo does good work.
There is no way a gtx 750 can max out on gta 5. My GTX 970 can't max the game without stuttering and lag in some areas

the minimun gpu for gta v 1080p60 is 660,and the 750 ti is not stronger than a 660

Well nothing can get perfect 1080p60 at that game anyways at max settings. Some areas on the map just stutter no matter what
