My Build 8/19/14 First Build

[XMXIXKXEX]

I have finally done my first build and love it more and more each day. I was a huge console player for years now I don't think I could ever go back. Well here it goes,

 

1. Case- Phantom 410 black, to me its a OK case would I use it again No, doesn't do a good job on air flow for cpu unless you do water cooling and the dust it sucks in is crazy.

2. PS - EVGA 750 80 Plus Gold Mod. Works Flawlessly 

3. Asus Pro Ac with wifi Z97

4. I5 4690K O.C to 4.4 @ 1.200 V running stable temps while gaming highest temp 51c

5. 8 GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport 1866 thinking about upgrading next

6. EVGA Geforce GTX 780 Overclocked 100+ GPU 350+ Memory Very good chip I run at about 66c

7. Corsair H100i 

8. Samsung 840 evo 250GB SSD

9. WD Black 1TB HDD

10. 3 Coolermaster Sickle 120mm fans Cheap I know but work well able to pull 70 CFM keeps my video card nice and cool 

11. Asus VG248QE 144 Hz Monitor is awesome for the price no motion blur at all.

12. Razzer Black Widow Ultimate 2014 its loud lol

13. Roccat Kone Pure Mouse

 

Overall I have a pretty good build, I couldn't be happier and can't complain. Well besides my case I am really starting to hate it I went by looks not performance. Stock fans suck on it so replace them asap. I also started with Hyper 212 Evo cpu heatsink. I think they are good coolers for a non O.C cpu I couldnt get decent temps with my O.C I like to stay cool. The case also doesn't have a upper fan to help the evo with intake air so I just turned to the h100i. I run at 29 at Idle and 51-54 gaming and mid 70s under a prime 95 small fft test. I know gaming well never push my temps to a prim95 temp. So I told myself if I say around 80 on prime 95 I will be safe for gaming. I just wanted to thank Linus and his crew for his channel and blunt honest reviews for helping me with my part selection. Should I even try to push my cpu more I mean Im really stable where I am now am I to cautious about my temps thats my big worry. I recently stuck 200.00 in fans and h100i to help out.

 

Thank you Guys

Very nice first build. Very very impressive indeed. A warm welcome to the GloriousPCGamingMasterrace. Now you need Steam. Rejoice, newcomer, for you picked the best of times to join the Masterrace. First go and download Half Life 2. Then play it and bask in its glory. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Team Fortress 2 is FREE, even without the sale!

Praise Gaben!
