 have been building computers since 2001. My very first build was with an AMD Duron 800 (Spitfire Core). We now jump to 2014 and my current build (Blackhawk) is in the starting stages. I decided to call it Blackhawk because of the red and black colour scheme and plus the Blackhawks are my favourite hockey team.

 

 

I have all the parts and will start the build soon. 

 

Here is the parts list.

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670

MB: Asus Maximus VI Gene

GFX: Zotac GeForce GTX 680 AMP

SSD: Intel 520 series 120GB

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3-1600

PSU: Corsair AX850

HSF: NZXT Kraken X60

Case: NZXT S340

 

Here are some pics of the parts.

I got a good deal on the processor and I might see if it will base clock OC

 

The video card will be getting watercooled down the road. 

you'll get 105mhz at most on that base clock :( shame about that with that nice board and cooler.
