Todays Budget Spares Build

[kawskaws]

Excuse the potato photos, my phone isn't the greatest. Whacked this together today with a new case and PSU, with a bunch of spares and old stuff I had lying around.

 

 

 

Mobo: ASK H67M

CPU: I5-2500k

Cooler: NFI? (Was in the spares, a china one maybe?) RGB  with heatpipes

RAM: 16GB 1066mhz 

PSU: Thermaltake Litepower 450watt

Case: Thermaltake H17 Matx

Fans: 3x Cheap Armageddon Blue LED 80mm

Light: Ebay LED RGB Strip with USB/Remote Control

GPU: GTX 580 3gb

 

Altogether it came through at about AUD450, which is pretty good for an old rig that'll play esports. Time to list it up and ship it off and build the next one!

Pretty okay for the price, wishing to give something like this or better to a friend if I find some good deals

Old school. I like it. 

Still have a 2500k lying around somewhere I think!

Thanks! I might bench it tomorrow. Its a K so I can probably push it a little bit, even with the crappy cooler I found in the depths of the crap box.

 

Heres some less potato images, borrowed the missus' iphone.

is that that chines 80mm fan on the heat sink? i was looking at that on aliexpress and was thinking hmm it sounds like its just 4 flashing colors when i was looking for odd size rgb fans.

Its about 80mm yeah, Its "RGB" but the colours dont change. It just has a few different coloured LEDs in it. I generally use the Thermaltake UX100s because they are cheap, perform well and look good. Got a few of them to go into other builds, but found this one in my box of spares and have no idea where it came from. More than likely a random aliexpress sale.
