Qtip's My First Build

[Qtip1318]

So this is my first build that i have done from start to finish and i am loving it...

Parts

CPU FX-8150

Motherboard Asus Crossfire V formula-Z

GPU EVGA 560 ti superclock

RAM Gskill sniper seires 1600 mhz

Power supply Corsair AX 850

Case Coolermaster Cosmos II

I have lots of plans for it comming just have to wate on the money i also have a ekwb cpu water block the rest will all be comming pics are still to come

[footlong96]

Dont go 560ti. The real value is 660ti or higher. Dont settle for past generation cards. Or I would also reccomend a 7870 or 7950, a little more than a 560ti but they are better.

I have the 560ti all ready I only payed like 150 for it all tho if I would have known more when I built it I would have gone with the 660ti

[Morfy]

it looks like a nice build, but why go AMD route?

[Kilmer02]

There is nothing wrong going AMD, I would however suggest swapping a 8150 with an 8350. Since the 8350 will probably be the last on the am3 socket, might aswell get the best of the best because it will become outdated after the 8150 becomes outdated.

[Qtip1318]

i went with AMD becasue i was trying to keep my cost down built if for under 1000 other then the case

[Qtip1318]

here are some pics of my rig so far have much more to do but it starts slow

So to do this you go with an Asus ROG board? What. I would throw out the GPU and downgrade the mobo to get a better GPU.

and you got a $330 case

[Gecko]

I would not have got that case that a huge part of the budget also unless your going to sli you only would need a 750 watt power supply

[Baxterz]

Wow I really like the look of that case. Looking good so far!

[dgtL]

Man, you just gotta love that cosmos ii. such a nice case! will be watching this build!

[Qtip1318]

i bought the case first becasue i am the kind of person who looks at somting like this and gose i dont have the money to do that so i saving my money and when i went in to a computer store and saw the case i had to buy it. and at about that time my dad was playing battlefield 3 and i wanted to play with him so i tryed to build a computer that would play battlefield 3 and keep it at a low cost... and that is y i pic my gpu becasue i knew it would play bf3 fine and after the sale it was like 150. the powersupply is a bit over kill but at the time i built this i was under that hole thing that computers needed a large powersupply becasue i spent all my time on the rest of my parts i now know that if i would have gottent a 500watt i would probley be ok for what i am running but i future proofed it abit now... and i would have gotten the FX-8350 but it came out the day after i bought my mine

[Qtip1318]

new pics on my rig just some off the sleeving that i have been doing need my computer so in some pics you can see there are wires not sleeved

[Qtip1318]

 

 

[tafla]

case is way overkill compared to other parts. Id rather go performance over aesthetics 

[Qtip1318]

i am working on the rest of if i have been wating for the 780 and now that it is out i can start working on more

[JordanM14]

Awesome build! sleeving is also amazing! well done. The cable management could be better though considering you have a cosmo.

[Qtip1318]

I guess i should put pics up of what it looks like now that i have got the cables done instade of like 2 months ago

[Qtip1318]

ok so some people have bin griping over my build granted it is not done and wont be for about a year or so but this is how it stands now have done more cable management and have now sleeved every wire that i could used paracord so could not sleeve the sata cables but i will replace them when i find the right ones i do have some ek cooling stuff that i need to put in but i am still wating on the funding for the last bit of parts

 

 

 

[DiPontesPT]

It looks pretty darn nice ;) Are you going to buy a 780 or a 770 ?

[Qtip1318]

780 or a guy in my clan is going to sell me a 690 for 300

[sonarctica]

That's a good deal for a 690, get that if you can for that price.

[Qtip1318]

lol i am going to
