New Addition

[gamerdude1989]

Well guys

I was stuck for a while, using an old HP workstation, with dual Xeon's, to play games, Untl i could afford a new build...

Got my new build up and running now, Im very happy with it so far...

I went from this..

2x Intel Xeon E5345 Quad Cores @ 3ghz
16gb HP DDR2 ECC memory
HP XW 6400 Motherboard
KFA2 Geforce GTX 550Ti
HP 500w PSU


To this..

AMD FX 8350, Currently stable at 4.72ghz
16gb Hyper X Fury 1866 Memory, Currently stable at 2103mhz and tightened timings
Gigabyte 990fx G1 gaming Motherboard
Corsair h100i V2 Water Cooler
2x Kingston 120gb SSD in RAID 0..
2x Seagate Barracuda 500gb HDD in RAID 0
EVGA Supernova G1 1000w Power Supply
MSI Radeon R9 390 8gb Graphics Card
Housed in a NZXT Source 340 case..

I love my new pc so far.. A couple of bits i dislike about it right now..
1. The non braided cables, which will be soon replaced.
2. the water pipes on the H100i are very long and curl up at the top of the case
3. my 14 month olds hand prints all on the case window

Please guys, before you say "should of gone with Intel".....
I dont touch Intel with a 40ft barge pole, since i had nothing but problems with my 3770k on their release (ended up RMA'ing 3 of them before getting one thats good, and intel taking almost 7 months to bother sorting it out for me)

No one is going to tell you, you "should have gone with Intel" if your personal experience was bad then you are right to use a different vendor.

Your Rig is extremely tidy and well lit I might add, kudos to you on a job well done.

Very tidy build dude, I loved my S340, shame about the watercooling support

 

[gamerdude1989]

Cheers Wraith.. I do like bright lights, Whats the point in having a window to show off the asthetics, if you cant barely see

And Kilbane... Yeah, my first impressions exactly..
Would be nice to have a 240mm rad support up top too.. But for a budget case, its liveable..
i just love the hidden PSU / HDD compartment..
Not a far of seeing the PSU and cables coming from it...
i just like to see the good stuff

Is a very tidy build dude, all looks very nice in there.

You can tell youve considered the aesthetics very hard.

Lovely build. You have clearly put a lot of thought into it and it shows.

Shame that H100 hose is not slightly shorter like you said, but the built looks lovely despite that.

 

[Warchild]

Looking good.

That GPU looks like it must be a hefty weight. Always nice to see AMD builds actually.

Looks really well put together. Very nice look to it. No wonder you're chuffed.

 

[RobM]

nice looking rig and nothing at all wrong with AMD

 

[Asperatis]

nice and tidy, such a massive difference with your previous build
the braided cables will make this build even prettier to look at for sure!

At some point you have to get over your grudges. I had a seriously terrible experience with three HD7950s (all broken), now i'm looking at AMD's offering again. The 8350 isn't really up to par anymore from what i've gathered, it's quite old now.
Anyways, neat rig.
