Ok guys it's time for a build/project log.
This will be my own personal gaming Rig, so as such will be named after my current Avatar, Kisuke Urahara (from the Anime Bleach), and as such the Rigs colouring will be Green and Black, with a little bit of white here and there.
Here is a pic of the character below.
I've started this project to help keep my mind away from other darker thoughts in my life recently in my current battle with depression. Hopefully this creative outlet will help me stay positive and preoccupied during the times ahead.
Now lets start with the case, the Silverstone Raven RV03.
This is my current case, a case which I am very fond of. I practically stole this thin off ebay for £50 last year and since then it has housed my PC.
It has been modded to allow the case to contain a full water cooling loop (ill update with pics soon), with a 240mm rad in the back and a thick 280mm radiator in the bottom.
Further modifications are still to be made to the case, but will be fully cosmetic. These will include Painting the Plastic strips on the top and front of the case [currently sanded down (pictured below)] and putting a custom design on each side panel.
The Full specs of the PC will be as follows;
CPU: Intel i5 4670k
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87 G1-Sniper
Ram: 8GB Corsair Vengeance LP White 1600MHz Memory
GPU: Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X
SSD: Samsung 830 128GB
HDD: Western Digital Black 500GB
Optical Drive: Liteon IHOS104-37 BluRay drive (I use it don't judge me!)
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000w
I'll update this thread later with my water cooling specs and a few glamour shots of components later, but just to tide you guys over here is the current state of my rig.
One thing I will add is that the G1-Sniper's built in on off and reset switches have been very useful recently, so +1 Gigabyte for putting that feature on such a moderately priced motherboard.
