Hello, Disciples of the Glorious Linus! This is my first desktop ever. Before this I've always used an Acer HackBook for gaming and everything else. I decided to make this build once the GPU in it (Nvidia GT 420M) died from too much BF3.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K (wanted the 3450 but got this for like $2 more lel)
Cooler: Corsair H60
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H (REAL MEN DONT OVERCLOCK)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (it works lulululul)
GPU: Zotac GTX 760 (Enough for running anything at Ultra at 1920x1080)
Storage: 1x Samsung 840 Evo 120GB, 1x Kingston something-or-the-other 120GB SSD, 1x 2TB Seagate Barracuda and 1x Toshiba 500 GB external drive.
PSU: Corsair CX600 (it gud )
And a TP-Link PoS Wi-Fi card that only works in OSX.
All encased in the beautiful Corsair 300R with blue and pink AF 120s.
Oh, and it runs both Windows 8.1 and OSX 10.9.2 flawlessly.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. Long story short, I don't wanna show my face.
Future Plans;
1. Upgrade to 32 GB RAM (for the sake of After Effects)
2. Get a fan controller so that all four of my AF 120s actually work.
3. Wanna get a good lighting kit. Suggestions, pls?
So that there is my first build. I will also try to post a desk tour once my DAC arrives.
UPDATE
I decided to re-do the cable management, and I think it looks much cleaner now!
Thank you all!
UPDATE 2.0
Added a Deepcool fan controller so now all the fans are powered, completely independent of the motherboard.
