Budget build for a friend (Completed!)

Kevin_GTX

This is the completed build that i made for a friend. I personally picked the components, and put them together in one afternoon. The budget was 450,00 euro and i exceeded the budget by 10,00.

 

Components

 

- Aerocool V3X Devil Red case
- Intel Core I5 2500K
- MSI B75MA-P45,s1155
- MSI Nvidia Gtx 660 Gaming
- Corsair Valueselect 4Gb ram
- Corsair CX 430watt psu
- Dvd drive (from old pc)
- 750Gb hdd (refurbished product)

- Extra intake fan

- Windows 8.1 (non retail)

 

I did some cable management after taking the picture of the inside. Unfortunately there wasn't much free space on the sides for cables i didn't need. But because of the free space behind the front intake fan i still managed too keep fairly good cpu and gpu temperatures idle and under load. I hope this can be used as proof that a decent gaming rig doesn't have too be expensive espacially when you use a couple of components that you can scavenge from an old computer.
