The Dirty Merle - First ever PC build

gabbdogg

So hello people of LTT!

 

My birthday has passed, and I finally got something that I have wanted to get for a long time already.

A GGGGAMING PC

 

I built this yesterday but, sadly, I did not take pictures while building (because I'm an idiot)

But still, I wanted to share with you what I have built.

 

(If you want to know where I got the name: Merle Dixon from TWD was my inspiration for the name. I dont know why I named it after him, I still wonder why....)

CPU - i5-4460: Cheapest i5 I can get. In my local computer store, there was no 4440, 4430, 4570 etc...
Cooler - Stock: Deal with it
Mobo - Asus B85M-G: - I got it because it was cheap, it came with the latest BIOS, and I got lazy
Ram - G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB 2x4GB CL9: Great kit. great price

SSD - Crucial M550 128GB: I got it on sale, so why not
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB - I wanted a WD Blue/Green, but they were out of stock, so I had to get this
Case - CM N200 w/ Windows - Again, got this on sale
PSU - Seasonic S12II-520 - Seasonic is great, so was the price of this
GPU - Palit Jetstream 960

OK, OK Ill explain why I got the GTX 960

First of all, this was the only GPU I could find in the store ( i get discount there), I would have gotten a 280x, but all cards were out of stock,

Ill upgrade this GPU, but right now, it will do the job

 

 

Ill take pics soon of the finished build

 

Stay tuned

Sh*tty cable management (trust me, I can't open the other side panel, really bad cable management, and its hard to close)

I could not get the screws in the SSD mount, so I had to resort to zip-tying both ends

PC FROM THE FUTURE! 2037 PC!\

 

Anyway, nice build. If you bought from Newegg or Amazon with a little more patience you would have shaved probably 100 off this build.

 

Anyway, hit us up with temps and game fps if you can!
