Parvum has accepted the design and I was told to expect renderings in the next week or so
Now I'm VERY excited about this build!!!

Took advantage of Parvum's BF sale yesterday and ordered my wife's Veer 1.0 case . Black/Black was the sale....... looks like her PC will definitely be done before mine. Her RAM is en route and her motherboard and CPU arrived here yesterday. Soon as I have the case I can start mocking things up and measure for the custom cables.

Well, to make a long story short and not start bashing Parvum (yet), there have been some major changes. The case will be a no go, and my wife's Black Friday case is still a no show after being told it shipped on Dec 16........ I will leave that as is for the time being to see if I can sort out my refund after no reply from Parvum for days. NOT a happy camper......
I returned the new in box Fury, and sold the other on ebay, also sold my motherboard for the X99 setup, and the M.2 drive I had, still trying to sell the DDR4, a Z87 mobo, Z97 SOC Force EK block, and an i3 4160/Asrock H81M combo.
I am going to restructure the wife's build as well as mine, and I think I will be building my brother a B-Day rig too this month. My PC will most likely be last.
I got my nephews PC together for Xmas and the performance for the $$ spent really impressed me:

So for right now standby on the whole over the top build and instead there will be various builds going on. Being into 2016 already didn't make sense to me to go crazy right now with all the new hardware set to come out soon and into next year. Plus I'm very curious to see what Zen brings as well as the next gen of HBM from AMD and NVIDIA.

Thanks, but today I found out something I did not know previously. That the Pentium is just 2 cores, for some reason I thought it had 4 threads too but it does not. He just got an El Gato for his B Day so a CPU upgrade is in order........

Really surprised me we have it at 4.2 on air and it's doing fine, but it strains when he tries to do the game capture.
I have an i3 4160 I can send him, but was thinking either switching him to an FX series CPU or biting the bullet for a 1231 V3 that could just be swapped in............ maybe even a decent deal on an i5 4690K who knows we will see what pops up. I think a 6300/8300 would do him well with the GTX 960 4GB........

I will ask him tomorrow I had never heard of this device until a few days ago. He's not local to me I built the PC then shipped it north. His main game right now is CSGO, but in talking to another member on OCN today the device will easily and quickly bottle neck the Pentium and I don't want him having issues with a new build. The device just wasn't in the picture when I got the build together.

Well then I assume he's not using shadow play and I will mention it.

Ok so in a previous post was the PC part picker link to my nephews build.
My younger brother is jealous of his kids PC (because it's fun) and he can't afford to build a PC now, and I'm not wealthy, but part of my down scaling my build now is also to give to others too. His B-Day is at the end of the month, and I want to get him a PC together too.
I was thinking of:
- AMD FX8300/8320
- Gigabyte GA-990FX Gaming mobo
- 8GB RAM (whatever I get a deal on)
- SSD for OS
- HDD for mass storage
- GTX970/R9 390
-PSU
-Case (not sure yet have to start looking)
I might consider an AIO for his build and I think my own build will end up very similar as well. I'm open to any input here. He will be playing on a TV screen at 1080P as well and he and the nephew are into CSGO and mostly first person shooters. I'm assuming he will start doing game capture as well.
For me I think a build like this is a nice way to get me up on a PC that has been in the process of being built since last Aug lol.
I watch a lot of streaming video and like high refresh rate gaming and have been eyeballing the 43" Vizio 4K TV that can upscale 1080P can't be beat for the price. I like to play shooters too and have a buddy sucking me into star citizen, metro, and I need to start Fallout boy from the beginning when I get the PC up again. I was thinking this route and then letting 2016/2017 play out to see what's what with all the hype for stuff but still have a rig that's playable in the meantime........
All ears on any advice here.
Thanks

So it's capture software in the Geoforce experience that will run the El Gato device? I just want to clarify so I know what to explain to him when we chat tomorrow.

It's built in to Geforce Experience, FYI. Great piece of software

My advice, for someone that probably isn't as computer savvy, go Intel.
If it was yours or mine, I would say go for it, but for someone else give it some thought.
The FX CPU's are great, but sometimes they really need some tweaking.
You're right, the Geforce Experience software has a built in capture software.
This is the only software (that I'm aware of) that takes advantage of this encoder.
