FlamingBeatz's first rig

[FlamingBeatz]

Hi guys,

After doing some research I finally decided to build my own pc. I was using a Thermaltake Commander MS-III case and a Noctua NH-U9B SE2 CPU cooler at first but I wanted something more quiet so I upgraded to a Fractal Design Define R4 and a Corsair H100i about a week ago. I'm still not quite satisfied though, I might buy some Corsair SP120 quiet edition fans for the H100i.

Specs:
Motherboard:
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k @ 4.6Ghz
CPU cooler: Corsair H100i
Graphics: XFX HD6870 dual fan
Storage 1: Corsair Force Series GS 240GB
Storage 2: Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB
Storage 3: Seagate Barracuda 3000GB
Case: Fractal Design Define R4
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16 GB @ 1866Mhz
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W

Let me know what you think!

How's that Corsair GS SSD treating you?

I can get one for £120 (240GB ) but im not too sure.

I'd look at removing the top HDD cage to increase air flow, and then maybe look at sorting cable sleeving out.... (I have an OCZ MXSP600w so I know how awful the coloured wires look....)
Saying that though, If you are looking to upgrade your Video Card I'd look into a new Power Supply

It works as it should, I haven't had any problems with it sofar. I got mine for €197 wich is 170 GBP atm so I think thats a good deal you have there.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't spend too much attention at the HDD cages while building it lol.

Thanks man

Yeah, that wasn't a very good choice of me. Cables were barely long enough & they do look ugly
