Hi

I posted in prospective builds a couple weeks ago about my planned upgrade

Well some parts finally arrived today

Which took a while to get everything working together, it kept crashing on me or freezing with some visual glitches freaking the whole thing out

Tested each RAM stick manually and still had the issue, turned out something was up with the bios

Q-flash nekminit runs fine

Just installed steam and origin, downloading Bioshock infinite now :)

 

Anyway

Specs coming up, still waiting on PCCG to stock the Enthoo Luxe, and waiting for amazon to process my payment for my gpu :)

Very excite

Also very pleased with the siberia v2 headset I purchased suddenly after reading poor reviews of the Kraken Pro

 

The RAM is actually still running in 1600MHz mode, haven't enabled XMP yet after bios flash

We'll see if that brings back the problem

 

Intel i7 4790k

Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK

G.Skill RipjawsZ 2400MHz 4x4GB

Corsair HX850i

- EVGA GTX980 ACX2.0 Superclocked

- Phanteks Enthoo Luxe (white)

Yeah, waiting for these pretty much

 

Storage: SSDs in RAID0 because why the heck not, 3TB WD Green for constant backups and other junk, 750GB Samsung HDD for stuff

2x60GB OCZ Vertex3 (system)

2x128GB Samsung 840 Pro (games muhahahaha)

some hdds

 

I suck at photography and my room is fairly poorly lit (unless I want crazy light from outside, then I have to shoot on my bed so ceebs)

Yes I used a low f-stop and high iso, so they're pretty poor quality

Soz

I guess it'll be like 144p dialup nerdporn

Dell U2312HM I think?

It's an IPS panel 60Hz, that's all I know

Very nice colour reproduction, would like to get a 144Hz G-Sync monitor eventually though - can get one from mwave for $529 and pick up :)

Yeah pccg is awesome man

So much bubble wrap

Update:

Got my gpu today :D

Also, turns out gigabyte drivers cause crashes a lot, so hopefully that's the reason why i've been crashing

Just uninstalled them all

Will be in stock in December

The black and white theme will be more pronounced when I get my case, as well as some watercooling parts - when I save up to that crap

Because $$$$$$$$

Is your dad a PC nerd too? Is that why he laughed at your setup?
