Excuse the clickbait, So I just upgraded from an old i3 540 system (specs in signature) and I decided to do a build log...
Specs:
i5 6500
z170-a PRO MSI
8Gb of Hyperx Ram
s340 Black
240gb Toshiba SSD
Apex 600w PSU (Wsed)
Gtx 660 oc Windforce (from old PC)
Please excuse the blurry Iphone 4s pictures
Parts! (was supposed ot be 24hour shipping but it took 5 days....
600w PSU and Gtx 660 Pulled out of the old system.
Installed the tx3i with the nasty intel mounting, (fell off 3 times inside the case)
Just a pic while testing the pc, all parts inside! (Had to remove the cpu cooler because I could not acces the 8 pin power connector.
Added some red Leds, looks bad on the picture but is amazing in real life!
Build is done, downloaded windows and oced the cpu to 4ghz while I was waiting, got 45c in bios.
I could not install windows 7 in any way because it asked for drivers bould could not recognise any usb drives to browse for the drivers, currently downloading windows 8 since it comes with more modern drivers.
Will add a costum loop in a couple days/weeks, follow for more!
