First Gaming Rig

Eoin

Hello all, this is my first custom built computer. 

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k

GPU: Gigabyte Windforce 3x OC GeForce GTX 770

RAM: 8GB G Skill RAM

CPU Cooler: Scythe Samurai

SSD: Corsair Force LS 120GB

Motherboard: ASUS Z87I-Pro

Case: bitfenix Prodigy

Fans: bitfenix Specter Fans

PSU: be quiet! Power Zone 650w

 

Here are some pictures:

Since I got it I can max out the video settings in every game I play, I don't have any complaints about it so far. Within the next few weeks I will be getting a 1TB WD Blue HDD and a new keyboard, mouse, monitor and headset. I would appreciate any feedback. I am sorry for the poor cable management inside, If I do add a HDD I will be tidying it up and I can not use the side panel USB 3 because the CPU cooler covers the USB 3 internal connector, so I used the included USB 3 to USB 2 converter.

Build: CPU: Core i5-4670k GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 Windorce 3x OC Case: BitFenix Prodigy Motherboard: Asus Z87I-Pro SSD: Corsair Force LS 120GB PSU: be quiet! Power Zone 650W

Not true.

You could have said "Looks good, but spending a little time on cable management will make it look even better!"
