Hello lads and lasses, a little back story first I had a rig and while I bought it primarily for gaming it was not exactly as good as I hoped it would be so within a year that rig was used nothing more than to surf the web and do my work. It was an HP prebuilt computer and this during a time when I knew jack squat about PCs. So fast forward 10 years and I still have that HP rig, I did not upgrade it extensively other than add a new cooler and hard drive to it and by the end of 2012 she was slowing down a lot so I decided to retire her.
So with the help of another I gathered the parts and he (trust me I am not too good with my hands) built this...
It's called Eleanor since I enjoy naming my PC's (go figure
) . 3 months old now and she is serving me very well...here are the specs.
Core i5 3570K
Asus MAXIMUS V FORMULA
Noctua Sandwich NH-D14
Gskill RipjawsX Red 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz
Samsung 22x sata dvdrw
Asus GTX680 DC II TOP (GTX680-DC2T-2GD5)
Corsair TX650M
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
CM 690 II Advanced USB3.0
Windows 7 Home Premium OEM
I wanted to put an SSD in but in the end I needed the cash elsewhere. Tom along with a couple of other Youtube stars helped me in choosing the parts so props to them
