Hey everyone DeusInvictus7 here,
I've been following this forum/youtube channel for quite a while, and about a month ago I decided I wanted to get back into the PC building scene again after about 10 years since my last real desktop computer (I'm 23 now). I'm just about finished putting the last few touches on my build, which I'll post pics of in the build forum later on, but here's what I've chosen for my system until Skylake(or Skymont)/Volta comes in a few years:
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
Motherboard: Asus Z77 Sabertooth
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz
CPU Cooling: Corsair H100i
RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 670 FTW 2GB
PSU: Corsair AX760
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm
I'll admit, I did buy the Z77 Sabertooth for the looks, but for the price I got it at, a lot of the other boards that normally compete with it were actually more expensive.
Final things I plan on are some new fans for the H100i (any recommendations for very quiet but effective fans?), a SSD at some point, and some braided cables (BitFenix Alchemy) to add some more colour to the insides.
Hope to learn a lot from the people here, seems like a great community
