I'm not usually a fan of blue and black schemes, but I like this.

[tp95112]

Love the pictures and cable management managment could be a little better

[BlackOutCrisis]

Nice build other than the fact that the 7950 will smoke a 660ti and is the same price and that motherboard is trash. Other than those two things nicely done.

[tafla]

yea im looking forward to upgrade the mother board into something more high end and sli ready so i can run dual / tri sli config soon. 

 

I prefer nvidia > amd .

[BlackOutCrisis]

You could have gotten an asrock extreme3 or extreme4 and it would have been WAY better for the same price :P

[tafla]

I wont even lie. I agree

[Ps_domingo]

Power supply is overkill for the Rig. 
You can improve on Cable management.

Good Job with keeping components in theme! 

Ram would have been better in blue. 

Try no to hang the tubing of the H60. 

Pretty balanced rig. 

 

If I may ask how much did you pay just for the components without the peripherals. :) 

[Godlygamer23]

His or her cable management is better than my rig. Of course, I also have more to power, and my rig is set up a bit differently.

I payed roughly 1.2k / 1.3k CAD

[tafla]

and my cable management woulda work better if the plugs in the motherboard werent almost all in the same spot. lol

[Ps_domingo]

try flipping your PSU the hide all cables at the back. :P . :) 

[tafla]

i have the PSU mounted that way to have positive airflow :)

[XiaoPigs]

That's a really weird way to mount your H60 o.o

Also I would mount your PSU with the fan facing down. It keep the air going into the PSU seperate from the air inside the case.

 

Overall it looks quite neat from what I can tell.

 

Good job!

[TicTac]

Looks sick man !

[tafla]

i agree, the cooling does look weird. idk how it ended up like that lol. 

[tafla]

and thank you :)

[Williamchan87]

since you got the system already then its fine, but couldve gotten a 650W PSU, cause right now with 750W it's overkill, unless you get another GPU or something

[Jozi]

Good job mate.

i knew that i wouldnt need a 750w psu but then again I thought of upgrading my rig in the future

[techswede]

nice to see another chaser build on a tech forum :D
did you have the same problem i did with the 8pin motherboard connector not wanting to go through the cutout?

 

[tafla]

thats my biggest petpeeve right now. i need to buy extention

[techswede]

the 8 pin did not fit through the cutout right here on mine :( had to bend it out slightly to make it go through. i was asking if you had the same problem :P

 

 

but yeah... extensions would probably be the way to go XD my HX750s cable barely reaches up there without putting stress on the motherboard connector.
