Back to windows in years

[drgonzo]

Heya guys,

 

My name is Rob, 21 years old and I'm from the Netherlands. ( Apologies for some grammatically mistakes, feel free to correct me )

 

All my life if been an Apple enthousiast, mainly working on Apple products.

But my list of programs i want to run but wasn't able to because, yeah Mac OSX ( yeah wine and bootcamp is an option, still doesn't really works efficient for me though )

 

So i wanted to build a windows pc again, mainly for some gaming and windows based programs.

After i finally planned what i want in my rig, i ordered everything today, package will come tomorrow, of course i will update with pictures.

 

Here's the list of parts i ordered;

Case: Sharkoon t28 Blue Edition.

Power: Pure Power L8 700W.

Motherboard: Z87-G45

SSD: Samsung 840 EVO

HD: 1TB Barracuda

GFX: 2x SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB Boost edition.

Processor: i7 4770k , Cooler: Cooler Master 412S

Ram: 16GB ddr3 1600mhz

Network: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800

 

Also a Razor Naga, Razor Deathstalker Expert and a logitech g27 ( love racing games )

 

Can't wait to get my stuff tomorrow and start building my new rig.

 

Thanks for reading this story so far, and i keep you guys updated.

700W is a bit limited, i'd go AX860i

 

Or instead of two 7950's you can go one 290/X

Looking forward to the pictures and finished build~

 

Btw welcome to the forums!

 

 

Don't forget to read the CoC here!

Crossfire 7950? Would have gone with a 780Ti and a RM550 PSU and a different case, a bigger HDD and non-Razer peripherals. The G27 is a beast tho.

You could've waited a few weeks so you could get the 4790K with a decent Z97 board.

Anyways, it's all personal preference and as you've already ordered it: Have fun and post pictures ;-)

i wouldve personally go with 1 290x and if the performance really isnt satifactory, buy a second one... but those 7950 still totaly kick ass

I love Razer, always did, still a bit overpriced though, about the RM550, is 550 watts a little less?

Oh and on the case: just picked a random cheap case, just to build this rig in for now.

In the future i wanna go for some more over clocking, a neat case and water-cooling, but thats also gonna be costly and already spend almost 2k € on this rig, so i decided it was good for now.

Welcome to the forums! Feel free to read the CoC if you haven't already, and I just thought I'd warn you that I will become a really common face around here...

 

As for your build, it may not be the greatest, but it will get everything done and get it done well.

700 will cut that a little close, ive used 7950 xfire before and my ax860i seemed perfect for it, 750 with a very efficient rating could probably handle it

Mail arrived! Updates coming asap.
