First Project of Personal Firsts

brwainer

Title is a WIP. Anyway, I just ordered parts for my:
-first desktop computer
-first computer I've built

-first attempt at overclocking (not expecting much)
-first hackintosh (maybe)
-first computer that wasn't given to me and/or several years old already
-first time I'll be justifiably using 5 computers at once
-first.... ok I'm done,
 
This won't be a terribly impressive build log - I'm definitely not writing this for views or applause, but other people write build logs so I decided to as well. Don't expect any modding with this build (although I think interior lighting might be cool coming out of the side vents :D )
 
Parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/t4hVf7
Case: Silverstone RVZ01
PSU: Silverstone ST45SF-G 450W (seems like the major choice in this space is Silverstone... at least it's a good quality PSU as far as I can tell)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97N-Wifi
CPU: i5-4690k
Cooler: Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet
RAM: 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 CL9
SSD: Crucial MX100 256GB
HDD: Maybe one later? I have a 10TB server and I'm fine with having to juggle games from time to time.
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti - EVGA Superclocked 2GB version
Cables: Silverstone PP05-E short cable set
 
Parts arrive Tuesday/Wednesday, with the CPU Cooler and GPU trailing after that by a few days potentially (slower shipping). Pictures will be up starting around then. Thursday is my day off so I actually hope to be done by then!

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:
