Hello everybody!
 
After a long long time I finally finished my gaming PC and I thought I should show it off here.I really wanted to for a long time!

Both PC's have a long history with me.I tried to say a few words about it,not all but it is still too much.Maybe some other time!


The main PC/Gaming"beast":

Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA UD5 rev. 3.0
CPU: AMD FX 8350 @ 4.2ghz stock voltage
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2
RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866mhz CL10 @ 2133mhz CL11 stock voltage
Video Card: MSI GTX 760 HAWK with decent OC
HDD/SSD: 1x1TB WD Blue, 1x2TB WD Se, 1xIntel 520 Series 120GB SSD
PSU: Corsair RM650
Case: Corsair Graphite 230T window
Fan Controller: NZXT Sentry Mix 2
FANS: 2x Corsair AF120 Blue LED,2x Noctua NF-A14FLX,1x Noctua NF-A14PWM,1x Noctua NF-F12 PWM

I do not have interesting perriferals...I have a Samsung S24D590PL which is more interesting (PLS panel) as an upgrade from Dell S2340L.
I don't think there's any upgrades left for me to do to this PC.I'm looking forward to your opinions

The HTPC:
This is the moment when my desire of having an intel platform kicked in!
Config:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-B85N Phoenix
CPU: Intel G3258
RAM: HyperX Savage 1866mhz @ 1400mhz (Intel bs)
HDD/SSD: 1x 3TB WD Green,1x 500GB Scorpio Black,1x 128gb Msata Micron C400 SSD
Case: Chieftech BT-03B with stock PSU 180W Chieftech
FANS: 2x Noctua NF-A6,1x Noctua NF-R8 PWM

The HTPC stays connected to my living-room PC and it's great for multimedia content but now that I finished my main PC I'm going to take care of some things about it too!

I want a 4TB Green drive as the main storage and a second 1TB 2.5" blue.
The motherboard will be upgraded with a wireless AC miniPCIe card
I need to change the power supply because I'm thinking of putting a decent gaming graphics card in the future! (maybe a GTX 950?)

That's all there is to it.My main rig does great in games at 1080p.I think I'll go for a better graphics card but dunno about that,I'm really short on money...

My WD 2TB Se just arrived! It's uber-OK.It managed to score a 140mb/s average in HDTune and the max speed was 170 mb/s.It's waay more than the Blue drive!

Say hello to my 15 dollars internets.

Hello everyone!
 
I have this CPU in my main PC which is used normally for gaming or at least that what's been used for.
In March this year I sold my GTX 560 Ti because its price was getting even lower on a second hand forum locally and I got to sell it for a great deal.
 
Now,8 months later,I want to replace the card cause God knows I've been craving for a triple A title for a long time.
 
I want someone's opinion on my choice.I think I'll go for an AMD R9 270 (not X) Gaming OC from MSI and overclock that even further.
 
How much better is going to be this card over my old GTX 560Ti and how much is it going to be bottlenecked (with the Phenom II X4 955 @3.9 GHZ)?
 
Thank you all,I am looking forward to reading your replies!

Go for the OCZ Vector,Samsung 840 Pro or Corsair Neutron GTX !
You shouldn't look at an ssd smaller than 120gb.I recommend using it only for the OS.Once you fill up your SSD it gets slower and I bet you wouldn't want that to happen.
