*I added both tags because of the fact that I still need a graphics card :D

 

Well, I got the parts I wanted for christmas at a nice deal, although the Motherboard still has an IDE cable input on it, it suits my needs for the time being.

 

Parts used:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3

Case: Diablotek Diamond mid tower

PSU: EVGA 500 watt non-modular

Ram: 8gb (2 x 4gb) of G.Skill Ripjaws

CPU: AMD FX-4300

HDD 1: 1TB WD Black edition (Reused from an old computer got at a yard sale and still works great!)

HDD 2: 500gb Seagate Barracuda

Graphics card: (When I make enough, a GTX 970)

and 2x DVD+RW Drives.

 

I built this in an old computer case because My laptop wasn't cutting it in games anymore. The Stuttering really got to me so I decided to get these, and the combo deal on Newegg was amazing. (Got 3 day shipping free, but it came in 2!)

 

I will be using this for gaming and hopefully watch anime (Hence the name NEET Machine)

 

(Pictures coming soon)

 

*Updated Model # for the Mobo

Why did you go for 2 optical drives seems like a weird choice?

Do you need to read 2 DVDs at once or what is the reasoning behind that?

Well, here in romania we used to have 2 dvd-rw's to copy stuff from 1 dvd to another one #justpiratethings, but that was 7 years ago :))

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

damn.

Couldn't you have just saved it on the computer and then burned it?

We also had a pile of PCs with 2 optical drives, never really questioned why.

I reused an old case (Diablotek) That already had the two drives installed so I kept them, though I don't believe I will use em often. :P
