New Build

Hi Guys,

Recently just built myself a new rig so thought I would share some pics :)

My main aim with this was to build a gaming machine, that can double as a quiet work station and will last me for the next few years (at least). From using it for a few weeks I can say I'm more than happy with the results (especially compared to my old rig which sounded like a hovercraft under my desk!)

Specs:
CPU - Intel Core I5 4690K @ 3.5 (stock)
Motherboard - Asus Z97-P
Memory - 16GB Corsair Vengence DDR3 @ 1600MHz
PSU - Seasonic M12 ii 520W
Cooler - be quiet! Dark Rock Advanced
Case - Fractal Design Define R5
Drives:
2 x Crucial MX100 512GB SSD
1 x Corsair Neutron 240GB SSD

Pics below:

I'm not normally someone who normally cable manages but I made an attempt here ^_^

Thanks for looking and if you have any questions or suggestions for the future, just post below.

Nice build dude and I especially like the Neutron SSD mounted onto the Corsair SSD bracket and having it show like that. Well done! :)
 
nice, I like Fractal Design Define R5 case. I wish I went with this case now, mind you I do like the new Fractal Design Define S.

Cheers dude, it took me a while to think of a place to mount it. I was originally going to use the optical drive bay but thought I might as well use some of that space where the HDD cages once existed!:D
 
Ya i gotta agree with that SSD mount at the bottom. Pretty clever and it looks good! Nice build and for someone who isn't much for cable management, you did quite well:)

Haha, absolutely dude, well done! :) ... Haha, gave me some thoughts and inspiration for some of that kind of "modding" hehe :p

If there was a "thumbs up" smiley, it would've gone in here! ^_^
