My Rig

[10ochamberlain1]

So this is very much so a work in progress. I have plans to upgrade not only the pc hardware but the monitors will be upgraded and so will all the periferals as i just grabbed what was lying around.

 

 

The large 26" monitor is some LG tv and the smaller square monitor is just an acer ancient thing.

 

 

Specs:

 

CPU: Intel pentium G3258 @4.2 ghz

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120v

Motherboard: MSI Z87M Gaming

RAM: 8GB of Corsair Vengeance @1600mhz

GPU: MSI R9 270x Twin Frozor

Case: Corsair air 240 (i love this case so much)

PSU: EVGA 80+ 500w

LEDs: NCIX Molex Led strips

HDD: Some no name 1tb 2.5" thing (will be upgrading to 500gb Samsung 840 EVO in June)

Headset: Giotek EX-05

Mouse: HP X3300

Keyboard: Logik Ultra Slim Keyboard (will be upgrading to razer chroma when budget allows)

Tablet: Wacom Intuos Small

External Storage: WD My Passport Ultra 500gb 

 

 

The shot of my desk (yes my mouse pad is a graphics tablet)

 

 

This is my modded 240, the red suits my colour scheme of black white and red really well.

 

Entire pc (excluding peripherals) cost me no more than £500 (750$) and i am pretty god damn pleased with it

Please feel free to make peripheral and hardware upgrade suggestions as i am open to ideas

CPU, maybe i5, and graphics card will be my first choice if you are not getting performance you want.

 

Graphics card along with monitor upgrade IMO

Looks Nice and nice cable management

That's what i love about this case. There's no airflow needed there so it doesn't matter if its a rats nest back there

I was definitely thinking cpu upgrade first. hoping to get a 4670k and do some overclocking

You're only at 4.2GHz? What are you running for the multi and voltage?

@10ochamberlain1 when did you buy the Seidon?

@10ochamberlain1 when did you buy the Seidon?

 

Some time in mid march

multi is 42 and voltage is 1.35. Any higher and my chip is unstable.

So far, no problems?

Because I might buy one, but some say it's not that good/reliable

Yeah mine is pretty good, easy to mount and the included fan is dead quiet. For a while i had my pump running off of my cpu fan header and it made annoying buzzing noises because it was pinned at 100% but now it runs off a low noise molex adapted at 50% and its nice and quiet. Also it keeps the temp of my cpu below 65 at full 100% synthetic load

 

Edit: i also idle around 30-25c

Wow, you really lost out. 4.6/1.27 seems to be perfect for me. Haven't tried a higher multi.

Gotta love the random silicon selection process

Yeah.
