I upgraded from a laptop with an E-450 to this :D

I'll most likely mount the 32" Samsung LED Smart TV above the monitors. And I also need to do some cable management both in the system and under the desk.

System Specs:
Antec One - I will most likely switch to a S340

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 (Rev 4.1)

AMD FX-6300 @4.5 Ghz (stable) - I plan on switching from the stock cooler to the Hyper 212 EVO (along with a few Noctua system fans) and if I can get it stable, putting the clock at 5.0 Ghz

EVGA 970 SSC ACX 2.0

8 GB (2x4) G.Skill Ripjaws series (Red/Black)

EVGA 500W 80PLUS
TP-Link TL-WN951N
AOC i2367Fh 60Hz 23.0" Monitor + Dell SE198WFP - Will probably change to a LG 21:9 monitor
NZXT SENTRY 3 Fan Controller
Drives: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 60GB, 250 GB WD HDD (from old desktop), 1TB Toshiba USB 3.0 eHDD
 

Peripherals:
Logitech G700, Logitech M705 - Plan on upgrading to a Corsair Vengeance M95
Logitech K360 - Plan to upgrade to a Razer Chroma
MDR-7506
Shure SE215

Thoughts/recommendations?

I'd recommend you get brighter lights, and a bigger desk.

 

Go to IKEA and get both in one trip

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Rajintek Ereboss is currently 30 bucks, like really good deal. Should easily hold at 5ghz if you dont have leaky chip.

I could get the Hyper 212 EVO off Amazon for an extra five dollars, though. And it performs slightly better than the Ereboss. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2729&page=4

Thanks, though :D

Yeah, that's what I plan to do. This is just temporary until I move out of the house. But I'll be getting some LED strips soon :)

No, i mean like overhead lights

Your room is very dark and gloomy, it's bad for your eyes to look at a monitor in that type of atmostphere

Ah, I have a light in my room, I just prefer it to be off most of the time.

Ok i have the same desk, and those who say it's small have no idea how much stuff you can fit on this thing, i have a 20 inch monitor and a 24 inch monitor on it at the same time with a bunch of other stuff and i still have space to put stuff.

I probably wouldn't push the overclock any further on that motherboard. Although the VRM's have a heatsink it is still only a 4+1 phase design and pushing more will probably fry your board pretty quickly.

Oh, thanks. What would you say I should keep it at?
