Hello

[Dillingr]

Hi i'm new to Overclock3d. I'm 27 and I work as a machinist. I'm somewhat new to PC Gaming and plan on building my first rig within the next few weeks. I currently own a Alienware x51, but it doesnt have the power that i'm looking to achive with my new build. I look forward to my stay at Overclock3d as im sure I will have some questions sometime in the near future.

Edit*

Not sure where to put this in the forums but I would like some Input on the parts I Have selected for my new build. If someone could tell me where to put this that would be great! Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Corsair 800D case
i7-4770k Haswell CPU
Corsair H100i water cooler
Asus Sabertooth z87 - not sure about this board as the pci3 slots run at x16 x8 in SLI
EVGA GTX 780 superclocked in SLI
Corsair 860i PSU
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2x8GB 2400 Mhz Ram
Corsair Force Series GT 240 GB SSD
WD Cavier Black 1TB HDD

G'day Welcome to the forums

Hey mate, they look like a good set of parts, which i'm somewhat envious of

R.E. the PCIe lanes, as far as i know running in x8 doesn't effect overall performance when running SLI or crossfire, but don't hold me to that.

Also let me know how that PSU is and if the ability to control it in Corsair Link is helpful or any good
