My First Gaming PC build!

[ElliePC]

Hello and welcome to my first gaming pc build! which i did 3 years ago, but im still very happy with how it performs and would like some feedback!

(dont comment on my cable management i know its bad and im too lazy to fix it, i guess im kinda nostalgic to see how far my skills have came since this build)

 

i also just bought 2 new fans for it actually ;(Corsair Air Series AF140 CO-9050017-PLED 140mm Purple LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan)  

 

one to switch out a 120 on the bottom and one to place on top because i just wanted more colour tbh.

im also planning on buying a new case for it as well, but putting my old windows xp computer inside it for a bit just for irony. 

the case being an NZXT SWITCH 810 White CA-SW810-W1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case

 

anyways the specs of my computer are,

CPU: I7-3930k

Motherboard: ASUS sabertooth x79

RAM: Patriot DDR3 2x8 (16gb)

GPU: EVGA gtx 670 4gb (1 way sli)

Case: thermaltake overseer rx-1

Storage: intel 730 series 480gb

PSU: coolermaster silent hybrid pro 850w gold

Monitor: Benq XL2411Z

 

if you have any cool ideas or thing i could improve to make my computer better feel free to comment about it! i also would love to hear what you think of it based off what you see!

"Gtx 670 (4-way sli)"?

[ilikemacandpc]

Nice Rig!

 

You could make that cable management better by stuffing those cables behind the motherboard tray and routing them through the grommets, 

[IMPERIUS]

You say you have 4-way sli but have only 1 gpu installed? And dayuuum that case is ugly haha but everyone has its own taste

[CoolaxGaming]

Hows that 4 way sli?

[Liamcal]

Nice build. If you happen to get a new case, I would recommend using some serious cable management. And I know you said don't mention it BUT I WILL BECAUSE IT'S A FREE COUNTRY AND CABLE MANAGEMENT IS NICE.

 

But yeah, nice build

[ElliePC]

iM SORRY COOLAX I MEANT TO HIT THE 1

[toggleguy]

Nice build man! I would upgrade your GPU, but im not saying its bad.. its just quite old, and a 970 would be a nice replacement!

[Looperted]

Thank god youre getting a new case

[Liamcal]

"Gtx 670 (4-way sli)"?

He has 3 more in his imagination. Either that or he downloaded them from DownloadAGPU.com and has them cached on his power supply.

[ElliePC]

Thank god youre getting a new case

I WAS young and dumb and thought it looked cool

[ElliePC]

Nice build man! I would upgrade your GPU, but im not saying its bad.. its just quite old, and a 970 would be a nice replacement!

i know i probably should, but it definitely has been working great for me so far!

[ElliePC]

Nice Rig!

It says ''1 way sli'' for me. Which is pointless but kinda funny.. i guess.

[ElliePC]

I FIXED IT I ACCIDENTLY HIT WRONG KEY

[Will Barnard]

He has 3 more in his imagination. Either that or he downloaded them

Ah, should have guessed, that's what I did with my RAM...

[CoolaxGaming]

Hey edited it

Cool rig. If you wanna improve it you could just replace the GPU. That CPU will last you a good while longer.

[SuperPug]

Hey edited it

 

I figured he might have but didn't see the ''edited by ...'' anywhere. So i guess i look like a dumbass now thanx OP

[ElliePC]

Cool rig. If you wanna improve it you could just replace the GPU. That CPU will last you a good while longer.

ive been thinking of replacing it for quite a while now. i'm just really cheap and in the mindset of "why change something if it aint broken"

[IMPERIUS]

Haha then its not called sli, just 1 gpu

[ElliePC]

Haha then its not called sli, just 1 gpu

 fIGHT ME SH IM TIRED

[ElliePC]

things ive learned trying to redo the cable management that i did 3 years ago:

 

this case doesn't have the best cable management
