My Build

[omglazrbms]

I figured I might as well put the build I'll be having delivered in a few days here, as no one else has yet.

I've already ordered all the parts and am super excited about getting this BEAST, but here goes on the parts list. (I'll just put a link to the newegg page for each part for if you don't know what it is)

(I got some high quality thermal paste, but it doesn't need to be linked really)

I'll be posting pictures of unboxing and building and the finished rig once it arrives, and I'll also answer any questions any of you might have to why I chose the parts I did, as I've been planning out this rig for the past 7 months lol :)

Damn it, I forgot to list what it was for!

Pure Gaming, no editing. Sorry about that all!

Awesome rig, not to keen on the Switch 810 however that's a personal preference.

Looking forward to see the log!

are you going to get a sound card or not, and do you need the 690 because you'll be playing on a really high resolution? I mean, other than that I think your build is really nice.

[omglazrbms]

It's as future prrof a build as I could make it (fully realizing that you can't future proof a PC). I had originally planned on SLI'ing two Asus DC2 670s, but the 690 is just a better solution to that for just a little more money. I'm still running 1080p, but my next purchase will be a 1440 or 1600p monitor, whenever they drop price in the future. I got it now instead of waiting because my old build was running epicly slow on games, and I had the money now :)

[omglazrbms]

Oh and no, no soundcard. I don't have a high quality headset, as I destroy them somehow. I'm pretty careful, but i've been burned hard on 200 to 300 dollar headsets before and I'm satisfied with my wireless logitech g930 now, so I figure i'll get a sound card later down the line when I can afford one. I know it's a cardinal sin, but i'm fine with it.

Cardinal sin is right! I just got a sound card on Christmas (A cheap Xonar one), and the difference is IMMENSE. Well worth $40.
