Gaming Rig 2013

[resin1980]

Hey guys! First time posting a build log on these forums and I thought that it would be a great chance to share my journey with you as I get the parts together for my PC

Code name M.S.I as i can think of the right name for it. The theme of the build will be red and black.


I've been using my old Amd Rig for that last 3 years and it's time to upgrade. Please feel free to give any advice.
As I work full time as i Epos servers manager (Touch Screen Till) I have yet to gain the Time and money to buy everything outright, as i had to pay out vet bills for my dog. (£849) So buying my components in stages. I'll try to update this log as much as possible,as the bit arrive.


P.s. if you have problem read what i wright i am sorry as i very bad dyslexia i now what i like to wright but just cant get it down on paper.


Proposed rig components:


Intel Core i7-4770K
Corsair H100i
MSI Z87-GD65
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB X2
Samsung 840 Pro Series 512GB
MSI GeForce GTX 780 ( This May go to 2 if i sale my old Rig
Corsair 540
Corsair 760i

Change the SSD to the 840 Pro 512gb model. Much faster and reliable than the non pro.

Please don't double post. Use the edit button


I was unaware it was the PRO. You didn't say that and edited the post so now that helps clear confusion...
Build looks like it should turn out good

 

[resin1980]

Some more bit have arrived

Time to get modding and adding the bits i need to the case

Looks like a great build but I personally wouldn't etch the window, especially with a company logo. You'll be annoyed if you ever change the MSI hardware in there in the future only to stare at the MSI logo
