please tell me what you think, and do all these parts go together? this is my first build, and i dont want to look like a retard getting parts that wont work with each other...


also, am i missing anything? i dont want to be missing a part and not being able to run it :L

 

[jamesriley94]

Why do you have two different 7970s on the list...?

And you could do with a better power supply. Something like an AX760i would be a better choice.
And CPU cooler?
Hard drive?
Windows?

I also wouldn't be getting that monitor. I wouldn't get anything over 24inch at 1920x1080.
If you want a 27 inch, I'd be spending more and getting 2560x1440/1600.

 

[MrShinyPig]

oh, i went with the radeon first, then got aq different one :L well, this thread is screwed, brb in a few minutes, i have some searching to do...

 

[MrShinyPig]

edit, this is what i plan on getting, now i just couldnt find what i replaced the extra graphics card with, so really important, am i missing something?

242.94 Intel 3rd Generation Core i7-3770K CPU
280.19 Asus Maximus V Extreme Motherboard
139.11 16GB-Kit Patriot Viper3 Venom Red, 2133MHZ, CL 11-11-11-30

also, does the colossus come with built in disk drives? or do i have to buy them too?


also, do i have to buy any wires or anything?

 

[seumasbeathan]

As James said get a better psu, the AX650 would be a great choice.

 

[jamesriley94]

Yeah - I told you everything in the first post...
Your revised list has only taken out the second graphics card?

 

[MrShinyPig]

Yeah - I told you everything in the first post...
Your revised list has only taken out the second graphics card?

yeah, and someone told me to get the Corsair HX750 Professional Series HX 750W ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold PSU so i put that on the list instead, is that decent? or is the AX650 better?

 

[seumasbeathan]

The list still has the CX750, The AX650 is a fully modular psu and if you are not using crossfire/sli it is more than enough

 

[MrShinyPig]

i updated the list, please tell me if i should change anything, also, http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/colossus#specs does the colossus from amazon.co.uk come with build in fans? or do i have to buy them too?

 

[seumasbeathan]

Cases nearly always come with a few fans already installed

 

[MrShinyPig]

so i dont need a 140mm rear fan for the colossus? or should i buy one anyway?

 

[dalewakelin]

The one that comes with it will be fine, you always have the option of adding fans at a later date if you feel you rig is too hot or you think it would look nicer with some fancy fans.

 

[MrShinyPig]

well i just added 2 Corsair CO-9050009-WW Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 140mm Low Noise High Airflow Fan Single Pack to the list for the sake of £20...

 

[MrShinyPig]

i updated the list once again, please, am i missing anything? even if its a wire


also, do i need a wireless adapter or not?

 

[jamesriley94]

No - the motherboard has built in wireless, albeit not very good. You shouldn't be using wireless on a desktop anyway though.

I have to say, I think you're wasting a lot of money unnecessarily on this PC.

Have you ever built a PC before?

 

[MrShinyPig]

no :L, and i will try find a hole in the house to put ethernet in it, but i dont want to be putting holes in my wall for nothing :L

 

[jamesriley94]

You can get powerline adapters to run through plug sockets. They're far easier.

 

[MrShinyPig]

i will do that then, let me add it to the list

 

[MrShinyPig]

i updated it again, changed monitor, added adapters, and ethernet cables, am i missing anything again? or anything need updating?

 

[iBeInspire]

Why the 3770k..?
Is this a gaming PC, or will you be editing on it too..?
