An Awesome Build For An Awesome Guy:

"Can I get a Gaming PC for £500?"... "Yes", "Good, build me one for £1000 then"... "yes". Was pretty much how this went. I was given no more guidance other than "Don't care about looks, just make it work.". Obviously by looking at this images you can see that I did some colour matching, not that it was hard to find red and black AMD gear.

What Would I Change?:

Working to a budget is always a challenge, there's always that part that cost a little more but you want it. In this case, it was an MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard. Would have looked so good in this rig but the £90 price tag plus US shipping (total of £110 there or there about) would have been stretching the budget just a little to far. My compromise was a GA-970a which is all black, and has similar features to the 970. I won't list tech specs on here. Other that that one part, I'm happy with the way it is shaping up. Perhaps I will change my mind on this once I actually start building the thing.

Whats Next:

Building Commences at 7:30 tomorrow morning and will likely not stop until late on Sunday night. Regular small updates will come almost hourly tomorrow but the final results will be posted in one large entry Sunday evening. Not a lot of new stuff coming out on the drawer and red mod blogs because of this. So stay tuned for some awesome looking system shots and hopefully very aggressive overclocking.

Thank You :)
