Green and Black Build...

[Rossco]

Hello everybody...

I've been saving up for a while now for my pc and i finally ordered 99% of the parts tonight So here's the parts, and when they arrive i'll update this thread with them, and when i watercool and that this will also be posted on this thread (this may be a while though). So the build is gonna be black and green if you hadn't guessed already.

So, here we go...

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k [Revieved]
CPU COOLER: NZXT Kraken x60 [Recieved]
MOTHERBOARD: G1.Sniper M5 [Recieved]
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 Superclocked w/AXC Cooler [Recieved]
CASE: Corsair Obsidian 350D (yes another 350D build) [Recieved]
MEMORY: 8gb Kingston HyperX Beast 1600 MHz [Recieved]
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120gb [Recieved]
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB [Recieved]
FANS: 4x Aerocool Dead Silence 140mm 2x Aerocool Dead Silence 120mm [Recieved]
PSU: Be Quiet! Power Zone 750w [Recieved]

The power supply cables are currently being custom sleeved Green and Black. I will also be using the stock fans until i can afford the Aerocool ones, and the same goes for another 8gb RAM.

Soooo yeah... Hopefully the parts will get here within the next week and i can post pictures

Why a bronze PSU?

does it really matter what rating it is?

Well it's more of a highend rig and for the price that you get bequiet! PSU outside the EU you can easily find a 80+ Gold PSU.

I'm sure I could, but I got it on sale, I like the look of it, and it's got plenty watts to play with

I'm kind of a PSU snob tho. I won't build anything without a gold or higher psu. (even a 400€ htpc i build has a 80+ gold PSU )

meh as long as it has a 80+ rating and from a reputable brand I don't see a problem

You're paying more for nothing though, the only benefit a higher efficiency PSU will get you is energy cost savings and it's been shown time and time again that for most people in most areas, the power savings don't add up to the extra cost of the PSU.

Cool, I always wanted to see more green themed PCs. Be sure to post an update as soon as you can.

Get the reference. ACX looks so plain for a custom(though EVGA) cooler. Plus it has a green scheme.

too noise under load, plus the acx is already sitting in my room

You're right, especially in a 350D. Not a great case for silence. When I game, I always have my headset on or my speakers loud.

I'll probably switch between both plus if I'm getting quiet fans I may as well keep up the trend

[Rossco]

started assembling it, still sleeving the 24 pin and waiting on the ssd

Can't wait to see the end result of this build! Really a nice idea and cool that you went with custom sleeved cables!

if youre looking for a keyboard to match that with white, i highly recommend cm storm quickfire TK with cherry MX browns / white backlight such a good keyboard
