G1.Sniper 3 Build...updated: Motherboard pics

[computer/noob]

So I've finally started my new build, although it isn't as high spec as I was hoping to have done but it will do the job fine

It will consist of:

Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3

Intel Core i5 3570K

16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM

2 x 120GB Corsair Force 3 SSDs (RAID 0)

Western Digital Caviar 640GB (back up and storage)

Corsair AX850

Corsair H80

NZXT Switch 810 (matte black)

Windows 7

EVGA GTX 670/680 x 2 (which will be bought over the next couple of months)

Obviously with that mobo its going to be a black and green colour scheme so will add in some green LEDs and keep the fans plain black.

In a few months I will also be upgrading the cooling to "full" water, starting with GPUs and then add another loop for the CPU later. Thinking of using Akasa Apache's for just push or pull or going with push/pull on rads with bitfenix spectres (standard ones), which would you say is a better idea?

The motherboard should arrive next Tuesday and the case is yet to be ordered as I cant find anyone other than overclockers that has it listed, and they don't have it in stock....

So what do you guys all think of my build?

So i got delivered today....

Seriously, you have got to be joking............doubt you'll even manage to play pong on that :/

But seriously nice rig mate

Thanks hopefully should all good to get started next week on actually building.

Bit of a stupid question as i should know but how can i get images onto the thread as imageshack wouldn't work...what ones do work to let me attach or embed images?

[yassarikhan786]

Isn't as high spec as you were hoping. I would love a rig as powerful as that.

Ehhh....what? :L 2 690's? Thats just stupid mate

 

[computer/noob]

I know it wouldn't have been practical but just cool to say I had it.....I might strip some of these components out of the boxes and take some pictures as I want to open some of it up and take a look....stayed posted for some more pics

 

[Bullmecha]

I would up the H80 to a H100..just for the added cooling effort.

And since it seems that you are spending for the build

Nice listing and can't wait to see it progress.

 

[computer/noob]

Thanks bullmecha but the reason i went for the H80 over the H100 was because i will be going "proper" water cooling in the next 6 months(ish) so didnt want to block the top 360/420 rad in the roof for the GPUs with the H100 before i add the second loop for the CPU....

 

[computer/noob]

little bit more pictures....please note im not a photographer in the slightest plus they are all taken on my phone.

 

[wassupdoc]

those specs are insane! how mental were you planning in the first place lol
