My first computer build

[sterlinglee38]

Here is a pic of my first computer build.

I put this together right before Christmas. It consists of the following

- Coolermaster Haf 922 case, with an added Coolermaster 200mm fan on the side with red led

- Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus cpu fan cooler

- Intel I7 950 Quad core processor

- Current GPU is a XFX GForce 9800 GT, to be changed soon

- monitor is a Benq 24inch HD backlit

- motherboard is Asus Sabertooth X58

I'm very proud to say that this rig posted the first attempt!!!!

Now I need to learn how to overclock. Can anyone suggest where a beginner should begin learning overclocking?

Thanks,

Lee

Id start by changing the CPU cooler first if you want to overclock heavily.

Dude seriously as tom said get the NH-D14 if you wanna overclock and congrats on your new build I myself can attest to the joy experienced when a rig (especially an expensive one) POST's on the first time. And prefarably get a GTX 570 really awesome.

Nice build then again I like black and red I7 overclock amazing well at low volts so seriously but as tom said nh-d14. Also GTX 580 if you have crazy money lol.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll look into the NH-d14 and already have my eyes set on a 570, don't quite have the money for the 580. How about where do I start to learn the process of overclocking, what software I should use and so on?

Thanks again,

Lee
