Project Bonus PC

[Yeren]

Sorry for the terrible naming but i was stuck for thought and just over-whelmed at the money i just paid up.

Anyways been int he forces for 8 years now and just received my "Thank you" bonus from them so it is time to update my PC along with the wifes PC too.

My current specs are

Antec 300 case
3770K
D-14
32gb corsair Vengeance RAM
Asus Z77 V-LX
128GB Vortex SSD
Silverpower 850 PSU
AMD HD5550

2 x 22" monitors, (our old ones really not great but will do for the wife)
a complete mix of good an bad things there but this is going to be a donor PC for my wife's build whilst i get a completely new one as you do.

To finish off the wife's i am adding a

Bitfenix Prodigy case in white
Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H
GTX 650ti

alonf with the 3770k
850 PSU (very overkill but not buying her a new one)
32 corsair vengeance ram
3770k
Noctua D14.


My computer is going to consist of the follow

Storm Stryker case
3770k
H110i
4 x 4GB Dominator platinum
Asus Z77 V-PRO
2 x 2GB GTX680 Super-clocked Signature 2
Corsair AX760i
2x 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
256GB SSD Crucial M4 (new version if that makes a difference, i couldn't see one)

Monitors are 2 x 27" 2560x1440 Korean monitors from Ebay which i have to wait about 10 days for bar that and the Bitfenix Prodigy (arrives in next 5 days)is on next day delivery so will be here tomorrow. shame i am work all day and the wife gets to sign for it.

But i promise to get pictures together tomorrow as soon as i get home and upload them to here

Well its been a long day. the packages arrived at 11:21 but I never finished work till 1600.

kinda feel bad now looking back at this, cause as soon as I got home i ran past the wife, picked the garage key up and was out there bringing the rather large 2 boxes in. i have since said hi and gave her a hug for staying and on being here for them

1 was a massive box with the stryker in, the other was a lovely box of bits. For some reason I thought the box of bits was going to be ENORMOUS, but its was surprisingly smaller than first thought.

so pics, well to begin with we will have the boxes, i will do the unpacking another time as i am a little busy tonight with per-existing tasks.

lets hope these work.

That's enough to tantalize the taste buds for now, i will get on with the unpacking and build when i get a few hours to myself.

Sorry if the pics are a little blurry they were taken with the Iphone 5 but if they are too bad, let me know and i will try get some better light and possibly the better camera if i can find it.

Hope you enjoy

[Yeren]

Is it all going to Fold as well ?
DROOL indeed !

yes it is all going to fold when not being used, so

2 x 3770k - 1 at 4.3GHz maybe more with a proper board to OC on, the second is still in the box
2 x 680 signature 2 superclock
1 x 650Ti

 

[SnW]

quick update

after opening the Case i had found that there is a massive crease on the top left corner so ordered and new one and RMA'ing the one i have now

 

[Choklitmlk]

that sucks bro, how long will the wait be for the new one?

 

[Yeren]

Lovely surprise from Scan this morning when my new Stryker turned up, even though it hadnt be dispatched lol

not complaining this end though.

tonight is open box night with lots of pics will i resist the urge to start putting things together

Nice looking kit, awaiting updates.

 

[AverageNinja]

Waiting for updates
One question though, isn't the Gigabyte motherboard for your wife's PC mATX? And the prodigy is a mini-ITX case right? So will that fit? Or is the motherboard actually ITX?
EDIT: that gigabyte motherboard actually is mATX, so it won't fit in the prodigy mate
