• CPU Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14CS - Red
• Memory: 16 GB - Corsair Vengeance LP Series Arctic White - 1600 mhz
• Sound Card: Creative SB Recon3D fatal1ty Pro

I just need all my parts home, have some of them. Rest will come in 3 days or so

have you ordered all the parts?

Only the case, cooler to the cpu and the 2 fans to the case. Rest i have from i shit case

And the ram is also come

What are you going to be using this pc for?

Going to be uset on the things below.

• Games: WoW, CSS, CS:GO and maybe some BF3
• Mail
• Use it on the internet.

And i most also say, that i go up in the looks. That is why i have taken the parts i have. Just to keep it looking very good

Drop down to 8gb, a 3570k and a GTX 670

But i have the 3770K and XFX 7970 and i will use my Screen from Apply that i have in the use. And that is mini-Displayport base..

Dont be a sheep, get a 7970 1GHz edition, it beats the 680 and costs as much as a 670

I have the XFX 7970 1Ghz black edition, so cant see the point going away from that ?

But that is also your point xD

Good man, nice card too!

It is very good, love it full time - My old rig was whit most of the items, but the rig was in a shit case ! So needed some thing new and better. So that is why i have taken my parts i can use and get some new thing. But the looks will be my first place to go, then i will work the mhz up on the cpu after that

I know that 8gb will be more then good, but when i order my items i needed. There was 16gb to the same price as 8gb black ones. So i payed less money to get my 16gb then 8gb white normal coste in Denmark

And the CPU i have in my build right now, so cant see why you will like me to jump down in size and use money on that

I most say, i do like the geforce cards, but it is only the GTX 690 that come whit mini-displaydport and the HD7970 XFX black 1ghz was also in the old rig, so i just re use that in the new rig.

When you can save money you do that, the only thing i was NOT happy whit in my old rig was the case and the poor cable behind the mobo.

The case was from a Danish company, and wat a shit work. But the things was cheap and now i will just use around 200 euro on this build to get it all done nice

Just out of interest why does a mini-displayport matter so much?

I'am useing a Apple 27" screen, that my work gave me. and i do like to play on it. I do know it is not 120mhz. But it work lovely to me in "wow, that is my main game"

And Apple is just so funny that they only make the screen whit mini-displayport... :/

A small update, my order has just come insite the door, so now it is time to get the job done and take some picture of all the things and also my build. There will come alot of picture when i will be back online.

Hi ppl

Thanks Dipzy, you just need to wait like 30 min or so. Then i have very big update

Build done, now whit picture

So it is time to get all this done, we take the facts first whit the CPU. Have a i7-3770K that is overclocked to 4.2 Ghz, and that is in the turbo mode, i like that way it works. So my cpu can go down in speed when i only use it to mail and websites.

The Temps is good, idel is around 24c - 29c and in full load i can hit 61c whit prime95 in 12 hours. Whitout a single crash. And that is whitout taken my temps in the house off. And there was 20c in the house.

Game temps is around 52c on full load, so is happy

Was also unlucky that my Green WD 2 TB died on me, but one of my friend saved me whit a Corsair 120 GB GT SSD. So that is now my main disk, and the 240 GB force disk is my games disk.

Have a nas server in the house whit 10 GB raid, so only need the SSD in my rig. So i have called "komplett" where the WD-Green was from and they will give me a 240 GB SSD GT from corsair i just need to pay a small money. And that was 15 Euro to get it.

But back to the build, i know you all will like some picture. But you need to wait a small bit, my XFX 7970 1ghz black is a big card in this build. But it works good and i do like what i see

The white 16 GB ram, is just so lovely. You cant see them in the case whit my cooler on, but i do know they a there

So now to some picture
