Howdy kids,

 

So I'm gonna finish my build soon,

Spectacular Spectacle Of Specs:

 

Mobo: Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition

CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO

GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 770 2GB

RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast 1600 MHz 8GB Dual-Channel

Storage: WD Black (WD1003FZEX) 1TB

Case: In Win GT1 Black

PSU: Corsair CX600

 

And I was wondering: "Is anyone up in dem linas tech teps farems familiar with ma mobos UEFI?" Meaning how to navigate it, where to take RAM off "safe speed" and such. Also considering I have no previous experience with setting up a gaming rig, would be cool if you guys could give me some tips on what else to do in the UEFI and Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit install and any stuff I need to do before using my construction for its satanic purpose. :)

 

Be cool my brethren.

also I urge you to get an SSD because they are amazing as boot drives.

 

Probably will, but for nao I'm gonna put all of my money on the insides of the build, then probably save for a H100i, 240GB SSD, Fractal Design Define R(insert latest number at that time here) a year or so down the line.

 

Just feels like a 120GB SSD won't be enough for me :P

for $60 you can find better cases, such as the Zalman Z11

But yeahg, since I live in Estonia (keep out for your own mental health) there simpply was no better windowed case :P

ah ok, well you need to actually put your real location so that I know that kind of thing ;)

but yeah, everything seems in order outside of that.

I5 what? Cause I'm not seeing alot of value for the same price (168€)

you are in Estonia here in the states they are in the same price range the I5 wins i would look for the I5 4670K better gaming CPU

And that, my friend, is the problem. I know the i5 wins in the states due to its better max TDP and preformance, but sadly this is what I'm gonna have to make do with :(
