I recently built an amd budget machine how did i do for the 1100 dollar price tag?

Phanteks pro full tower

Corsair ax760i

Sabertooth 990fx

Fx 6300 oc'd to 4.7

Ex240 XSPC custom loop liquid cooler kit

8gb gskill sniper 1866

Samsung pro ssd 128gbx2

Evga geforce 760 oc'd to 1150

7 pwm phanteks fans 140mm and 1 200mm

Running my games at max all of em some latest gen to things like wow. I think i did well aside from lighting in my case its a solid build i think any thoughts opinions or suggestions please

They're the phanteks cpu cooler fans the 140s with 120mm mounting holes extremly high output and low noise

It's a decent machine. You're not going to set any world records with it, but it's decent.

 

If it's exclusively a gaming rig, it would have been possible to garner better performance with Intel, and a 970.

I think the main killer was 8 fans, you could have gotten better gpu with that

I'm sorry, but I just have to point this out - why is this topic in New Builds and Planning? Shouldn't it be under Build Logs?

Gpu was a concern it started with 2 low end raedon cards i got used the 760 was really pressing the budget the fans were bought initially for the rad but wouldnt fit so i dont use the pwr supply mask that came with the case and have one on the hdd cage and one as a bottom intake - tempted to break out the dremel on it and cut a few air ports or even a cut out for a fan to mount onto it - thoughts?

[adamj]

Oh quick note the case will fit a rad in the top slightly thicker than the case manual states because of the adjustable postion mounting brackets on the phanteks case easily the best thing i purchased
