Sir William of Orange

Dimwitted

A nice colour combo but the cable mgmt. is a little weak. I just can't figure where to put the power cords.

Nice! My next build is going to be an Orange/Black theme.

@Dimwitted

The choice of parts is really strange.

Relatively expensive storage, ram, heatsink, processor, optical drive, and motherboard.... and then onboard graphics.

What's the build going to be used for?

It's a general purpose plus graphics machine. Almost everything but games really. Right now I'm saving for a new card but I'm not in a hurry because of the 4K thingy happening. I'm not convinced that the current offerings nail really what is required. I figure by next year it'll have shaken itself out and what you really need to reliably run 4K monitors will be available.

 

It's also the fact that I had to cut corners somewhere and it became the obvious spot to save some bucks without sacrificing too much performance or replacing a perfectly fine but underspec part down the line.
