NOX-Hummer-(TheDesignerNinjaPC)

[theDesighnerGuy]

I Started to Build a New PC.I was working on a Dell inspiron 1501 for a few years while I was @university but now.... I need More power ...

So i decided to Build this Pc.

My chassis is a NOX-hummer - full tower (have to mention that I didn’t fined a review of this product except : in Spanish.. or some Latin language) I think it is a reasonable chassis and has lots of space

232 x 510 x 520 mm (W x H x D) and has a few extras like : • Two independent fan speed control knobs for up to 6 fans • Screwless 5,25'' units  • Removable top cover for easy installation of 2x 120/ 140mm fans or a Dual Radiator. You can mount motherboard’s like: Flex ATX; ATX; Micro ATX; E-ATX; XL-ATX and can mount a various number of fans: Front: 1x 230mm White LED (included)
Back: 1x 140mm (included) Top: 2x 140mm (included White-black colored fans) Side: 4x 120 or 1x 200/250mm (optional) Bottom: 1x 140mm (optional) and has 10 expansion slots allow Screwless mounting.

My Current system is :

CPU: Type Dual Core Intel Core 2 Duo E8200, 2666 MHz

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R

Motherboard Chipset: Intel Bearlake P35

System Memory: 4096 MB (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)

Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 from MSI

The chase and the video card are more recent purchases cause the Components inside ar somewhat old


But I want to do a total upgrade. I am waiting for Haswell :) I am curiouse to see @ what Price will it be available for me and what performance will it bring until then the upgrade list is the following.

CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K Ivy Bridge
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77-UP5-TH
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Z77
System Memory: 32Gb of  corsair DDR3 1600 (or higher) CL9 Dominator Platinum
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 ( i hope 2x)

ohm yess.. I will be swopping out next week the cooling to a Corsair H110 i will upload some more photos then.

:rolleyes: :wacko: :blink: ... and.... yess.. i forgot about the Power Supply and HDD....

have 2 HDD in the system one SAMSUNG HM500JI (500 GB, 5400 RPM) and a WDC WD2500JS-00MHB0  (240GB) i am using the Samsung drive as the boot drive and running all my software from it (photoshop,ai, cinema 4d). and using the WDC for mass storage cause it is slower then the Samsung.

This is the part Where i wold need help ... what SDD should i  get?

i had the following 3 in mind:

1- Corsair Force GS 2.5 SATA3 128GB 25nm MLC @ 174.88 USD

2- A-DATA Premier Pro SP900 2.5 SATA3 128GB 25nm MLC @ 142.2 USD

3- Kingston HyperX 3K 2.5 SATA3 120GB @ 178.74 USD

 

this is the current best price that i can get from the supplier. what can i say in (Europe / Romania) prices are high...

 

and the Power Supply is from Gigabyte its a 450w supply - so i definitely will be changing - i was thinking about the following

 

CoolerMaster Silent Pro Hybrid 1050W @ 230.31USD

Corsair AX860 Platinum 860W @ 229.72USD

Silverstone Strider Gold 1200W 246.91 USD

 

i was thinking on the Corsair AX860 Platinum ... but don't know will it run a ivy bridge ore haswell CPU and 2x 780/770

Can u help me out what to choose ? any of you is using some of the hardware that i want to upgrade to .
