After my PSU arrives tomorrow I will be starting my main rig overhaul. I thought I'd start a build log, I've not done one before so bear with me!

 

I'm using the same mobo CPU, and ram from my current build and adding another 390. When completed the rig will be:

 

Fractal Design Define S

MSI SLI Krait Z97

i5 4590

1tb Seagate HDD

128gb SanDisk Plus SSD

16gb Crucial ram DDr3 

2x Sapphire R9 390 in Crossfire

EVGA Supernova GS 850w Gold

BenQ XL2730z 1440p 144hz Freesync 

 

I will try and take as many pictures as possible during the process but also at the end include those all important before and after benchmarks regarding single and CFX 390's.

 

Wish me luck!

Yeah I'm hoping it will be ok. The case will have good airflow with 3x 140mm intakes and 1x 140mm exhaust and the Nitro coolers are pretty good my single 390 hasn't gone over 76c yet. Also no harddrive cages obstructing anything :)
