Looks good. Except that case I think you could get something way better to compliment that builder way better.

Yeah, I kinda regretted the case choice while building the thing. Don't really feel like taking it all apart and putting it into a new case, though

This is the wrong subsection? My bad, I didn't realize. Any way I can move it, and where to?

I don't think there's any way to move it yourself, maybe report it yourself and describe it as a request for an admin to move it.

The lighting in my house is too dim to take a good picture, unfortunately

9/10 would buy. Except for that sketchy PSU and those Razer peripherals. And change the SSD to an 840 Evo, just because it's better.

The 840 evo is not better since it uses TLC Flash which is cheaper to produce & it doesn't last as long as MLC (the 840 Pro uses MLC) . MLC technology is also faster then TLC Flash but it costs more money to produce & it's faster then TLC along side with it lasting much longer around triple the lifetime of TLC. But you'll never notice the speed boost between the 840 Pro and Evo since they're already so fast.

 

ONTOPIC TIME:

Very solid build Element, what are your planned upgrades? Also please try going to a different brand of mechanical hard drives please Element. Since Seagate has like a 70 - 90 percent fail rates while Western Didgital & Hitachi have like 0.4 - 6% fail rates.

 

10/10

I had actually just built this rig a few days ago, so no big upgrades yet. I might add some green LED fans to make it look less boring, but other than that I probably won't be doing much with it for a while. And I will keep that hard drive info in mind, thanks for the tip.

Always good to have those LEDs also no problem! :)

Oh yeah, I might as well also mention, this is the first PC I've built myself. Surprisingly it worked the first time I turned it on, I expected SOMETHING to go wrong. Cable management isn't awful either, although I can't really show that due to the aforementioned lighting issues

Umm 7.25/10 was going to give it a 7 but thought that would be too low as looking it over again.
