    BlizzardDUCK got a reaction from stconquest in My First Ever Build (5 Months Later)   
    Got it up and running today, only problem is I can't see my harddrive when I go to computer screen. Help. It is plugged in with Sata, on the 4 string one. I did skip 1 sata port, could that be the issue?
     
    Edit: Saw it when went into BIOS, can't see it on Windows. Everything else works fine. I can see it in Device manager, but I can't save anything to it.
     
    Edit: Got it, up and running

    Took me 20 mins to get the mobo in, IO shield was a PITA. Smooth sailing there on out. Just need to get my cooler on, and power supply comes in tomorrow, won't be able to finish it until Friday.

    I followed many builds on iRacing.com from people who were running DK2, and they were using 970's. Also a couple new builds chose to use 970 for Rift use. My friend also built his new computer with a 970, so I had many people I saw use them. Not many 980s I saw being used.
     
    Bam, case is here.

    Doesn't appear to be enough storage on that build though, 240gb fills up quite fast.
     
    Thanks for the cases Matt. Even though I didn't select the ones you showed me, I did watch videos on them and lead me to the one I decided on. My friend had it in his build, and I really didn't want to use the same one because I feel like it would be cheating, but I did conclude I wanted that same case on my own. I chose to go with the Corsair Vengence C70 Black because it is roomy, has the side window I wanted, and does come with carrying handles which is a bonus.
     
    Think this is my final draft, think I will place order tonight or tomorrow.

Easy for cable management because it has 2 own compartments, one for the system, and one for wiring   The S340 is also good to build in. Easy cable management and has a basement to put your PSU in.   450D is also great. Big enough for you to put everything in and it has rubber grommets. It does look nice too.

    Unless your alright with flashing bios get a z97 board. Also get 1 stick of 8gb memory so you can go all the way up to 32gb in the future.
