So I have been a long time user and fan of AMDs processors, I've used Intel in my early years, had a core2 duo for a while, just kinda of scoffed at Intel and their high prices, looking at synthetic benchmarks and seeing AMD right up there, so my future upgrades were all AMD, and currently on the FX 6300 and I am enjoying it (so maybe a little bit of fanboy in me). But I think my system might have reached its limits of what I'm trying to do.

 

I've put together a setup that I think is pretty good, and will be putting it together of the next few weeks, but I also want to spend some time adding a few extra touches - Im not putting in a custom loop quite yet, but am looking at the Swiftech h240x to upgrade to so I can expand later on when I goto different vid cards - Itll be coming together over the next few weeks, Ill be posting pics along the way that may explain the name :P

 

- Intel i5 4690k Devils Canyon

- Swiftech h240x

- Asrock Fatal1ty z97x

- Asus GTX 770 OC Direct cu II 2gb

- Gigabyte GTX 770 OC Windforce 2gb (mis-matched I know, but the 2nd one was a deal I could not pass up)

- 16gb Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 1866

- Kingston SSDnow 300 120gb ssd

- WD Blue 1tb HDD

- Azza Titan 1000w

- Enermax Ostorog gt

- Lots of red fans / leds

 

Ill keep updating as progress is made!

Alright, done for the most part, still not happy with the watercooler, but it seems to be handling the 4690k OC'ed to 4.4 ghz just fine at around 30c idle and 50c under full load - working on getting bigger 140mm fans, but again, system is running pretty cool right now, so not an immediate need
