My aria prize rig

[UkGouki]

hi all posting this just to make a start on my project log for my prize rig most parts of it will be coming from aria.

i will post pictures of it from start to finish once i get all the parts together im estimating approx 28 days from today hopefully will be complete

ok down to the nitty gritty

Case: will now be a bitfenix shinobi mid tower black usb 3 with window.

my wife is buying me this from special tech via amazon she chose it because it matches her wallpaper and floor rug

Motherboard: stock dependant at time of purchase from aria should be an msi z77 g45 full atx if no stock will be a gigabyte d3h or asus p8vz77-v lx

Cpu: core i5 3570k

Ram: again stock dependant but should either be corsair vengance blue or mushkin blackline frostbyte

Gpu: this is set in stone V3x3d black edition 7870LE

SSD: again set in stone samsung 840 120GB

HDD: Storage will be coming from my current rig 1x 1tb seagate and 1x 750gb samsung

Psu: from my current rig is a thermaltake 750w toughpower when i got this psu it was rated 80+ gold and it has never let me down.

i will eventually buy a new psu as i want a modular one i just wont have the funds after paying for a new case + ssd. so it will have to wait a few months but the psu ill be getting is a corsair hx650

cpu cooler will be stock unless i can get a backplate for my true there sold out on amazon and frozencpu no longer stocks them and i cant even find it on ebay this is the part i will need Thermalright Socket 1156 Bolt-Thru-Kit Rev.B

so until my next post in here which will contain pictures im gonna leave this as it is thanks for reading
