Righto guys, my little brother has finally saved up enough money, and now he's ordered the parts for his brand spanking new gaming rig. Of course I was the one that selected the parts etc. (he's not really a pc geek), but this will be HIS pc, and it will eat my own rig for breakfast! :'D

So I'm guessing you lot will be wanting to know the specs. Well, here they are!

Case: Fractal Design Define R3 (grey)

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k

CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 (he's not going to do any extreme overclocking)

Mobo: MSI P67A-GD65 B3

Memory: Mushkin Blackline 4GB DDR3-1600 CL6 (996959) (I got a good deal :'D)

GPU: Palit GeForce GTX570 Sonic

PSU: Corsair HX750w

HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB

Oh and it'll also feature a basic DVD burner.

We're still waiting for the parts to arrive, but I hope I can build this thing over the weekend.

This will most likely be a very short build log, but nevertheless I will post pictures as things progress, and it should be an interesting enough read for those who enjoy reading build logs.

The minute I posted this thread someone rang the doorbell.. the memory has arrived! A picture will follow, but I think most of you know what Mushkin Blackline memory looks like anyway ;p

This is my first experience with a Mushkin product, so I hope it will be a possitive one.

Edit: pic

 
Now that everything has arrived, I can start putting it together!

Lol @ the difference in size between the stock cooler and the Scythe Mugen 2 ;p

Update 10/6/2011 19:20

It's starting to look more and more like a PC ;p

 
Awaits more pictures

Edit:

Dang, the Mugen 2 is a pita to install, that's for sure! O.o
