PSU yes, I bought that on recommendation of my brother when I didn't really know what I was doing lol. I hate the thing

 

Case - I got used for £90 with the fans otherwise I would have got the Enthoo Pro lol

 

SP120s - again used, but I can see where you are coming from :D

 

SSHD again bought for £65 new which is the same price as a new 2TB HDD here so why not, but again yes they are kind of a waste of money

 

Completely understand though!

i5 4670k - Z87X-UD3H - EVGA GTX 670 Sig 2 - Samsung 840 Evo 250GB - 8GB Avexir Core White 1600Mhz - Corsair 750D w/ RGB LED Mod & Remote Control - 2x SP120 - 3x Enermax Cluster - 2TB Seagate SSHD - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 - SuperFlower Leadex Gold 750W

Why? It's a PSU that is budget and does the job

It's got poor internals compared to similarly priced alternatives, the capacitors are poor etc. Here you can get a SuperFlower 550W 80+ Gold for £55, cheaper which has much higher quality caps and better soldering, and also the Seasonic OEM Antec TrueQuiet 550W for £55 also which is also superior

 

You are just paying for the brand unfortunately with Corsair PSUs :( When they used Seasonic they were great but now I hate them

I'm not insulting it, I'm just speaking the truth.

You got yourself a meme

Mind if I use that from time to time?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Overkill motherboard but great PSU that I have to give you credit for (seriously, I love that PSU).

Would get way higher if you didn't have the Pentium, but instead something like an i5 or even 4th gen i3

I chose the Pentium so I had that upgrade path.

 

 

ANyway, 7/10. Nice build, but a bit outdated :P

That's probably the only reason to go for the Pentium and it certainly is smart, but still can't r8 8/8 because of that.

And yeah, my build is preeeetty outdated.

PSU is a bit iffy, could have got some faster RAM but that's not really necessary, but great choice on everything else!

My PC is also my guitar amp, so I need the ASIO driver and in terms of audio quality the D1 kicks the ALC1150 to the ground.

I believe my PSU is a good solid bronze IIRC, I could've got a better one but there's been no problems so far and it has 4 LED modes which I admit swayed me a little during the buying process. Yeah, I could've gotten a faster set but I was more concerned about reliability so I went with the Corsair kit with a lifetime warranty. =D

Good CPU, 670 is kinda older now, but still really good.

I can appreciate the SSD, but cant appreciate the SSHD.

Yeah, back in 2013 the only kits with lifetime warranty at £100 I think were Kingston and Corsair, it was a toss up but the Corsair went better with my old motherboard's colour scheme. And the 4 modes go like this; red, blue, white, and off haha.

SSHD was £65 brand new, I know that they are kind of pointless :D but for the same price as a new 2TB HDD over here I couldn't complain

 

Otherwise I would have got a standard HDD

 

The 670 provides enough power for my uses right now, plays most games at high that I play and just a bit slower than a 960 so can't complain. Tis a bit old now though yeah

Oh, I guess for 65 GBP it's ok. I just personally wouldn't go for it. I think SSHD's just don't make sense as a product ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And yeah, the 670 is still really good and still is on par with the 960.

My friend switched from his 660 Ti to a 970 and it seems to be a huge step up for him.
