Motherboard: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO

ODD: LG something

HDD: Hitachi 160 bg 7200 rpm something haha

PSU: Corsair 450 Watt Modular

RAM: Corsair 4bg DDR3

Nice, where is the gfx card?

The board has onboard vid so no need for dedicated gpu

I seen that but I was wondering why he hasn't got one. Let's face it onboard isn't very good. I guess you're not using this for games?

Nice rig, bet it's pretty quick.

Need to do some cable management in there though..

 

[killablade]

Nice rig, but really needs some cable management!

Also, are you using it for games? If so, get a dedicated GPU, will really bump up gfx performance a lot!

 

[subliminal messeging]

Yeah cable manegement haha i will fix that

BTW, I AM getting A better GPU, probs 5770 or above at my birthday cuz i have no money haha

Nice build, bit of cable management and it will be a beaut. Also love the speakers...I've got a pair of those.

 

[subliminal messeging]

thankyou, btw, those speakers are 10 years old haha, i used to have them when i was 5 on windows 98 lol

 

[Diablo]

I think mine are from 96, I got them with my first PC, they still sound pretty good. A few cable ties will have that inside looking super clean but its a pretty nice first build. If you can, get a decent heatsink for that processor, they clock like crazy I've heard.

Sweet I want water cooling, its like a gudjillion quid tho lol

 

[killablade]

We all want watercooling

As for the graphics card, I would go with the 5770 if I were you because of your 450 watt PSU which probably won't suffice for a 5870

 

[subliminal messeging]

lol, yeah i may just get 5570, after all it has DX 11 yey lol

 

[killablade]

lol, yeah i may just get 5570, after all it has DX 11 yey lol

A 5570? I hope you mean 5770

 

[subliminal messeging]

A 5570? I hope you mean 5770

OOOPS, typo error yes, 5770

 

[MarkW7]

Nice layout, cable management would finish it off nicely

 

[subliminal messeging]

yeah i kno and thanks

 

[subliminal messeging]

BTW i know have my ATI HD Radeon 5770, so, by build is complete

 

[alexhull24]

Not at all bad for a first build (I assume it works!).

Perhaps you could use the installation of the GFX as a chance to improve your cable management.

 

[subliminal messeging]

haha yeah, i sorted the cables out (mainly)
