Install drivers and get my Foobar2000 configured so I can move on.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

> fav programs

> a game or two to test the system

I go to ninite, chuck the driver disk in and install all my graphic drivers (jk, who even has an ODD these days).

 

Restore a backup of my steam games because who can be bothered downloading them again?

Play CS:GO, put off any installation of necessary programs until I need to use them and frustrate myself in doing so.

Install OS
Install Borderlands 2
Play Borderlands 2 for an entire week
Windows crashes

reboot, Winload.exe decides it doesn't exist anymore

drive locks up

have to reinstall windows

lose all Borderlands 2 data.

Repeat until satisfied.

 

THIS IS WHY YOU GET A MASS STORAGE DRIVE, PEOPLE. THIS IS WHY YOU GET A MASS STORAGE DRIVE!

When I bought this one? Lets see

 

Install windows.

Attempt to install drivers.

Argue with drivers and shitty internet connection

Download better browsers

Change windows settings

Install stress-test stuff to make sure everything is working

Cry when I hear the coil whine from my GPU

Fix the poorly mounted H60 I f*cked up

Go to bed annoyed at the hassle of doing stuff that I shouldn't have to worry about

Wake up and install programs

Install steam

Wait a week for steam to install games

Rejoice

Install linux Mint in duel boot

cry because Linux is not at all user friendly

take three days to install drivers using useless tutorials

Wonder why I bothered with linux

play games

play more games

cry when I notice GPU starts crashing/artifact with games

complain on LTT about crappy GPU

play games

play more games

resign myself to the fact I'm too lazy to return the GPU for now

holiday ends

school

games

school

Repeat=['school', 'games']

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

Press the power button.

 

 

Run a few hour stress test and make sure everything is stable, Install everything that I need, then overclock the living shit out of everything I can pushing the limits, and then bring it down a notch or 2 for 24/7 operation, once I have my OC, I run a 12 hr stress test to make sure its 100% stable.

Assemble PC > "smoke test" > rummage around in the bios > install OS > find out I messed something up > reinstall OS > Install enough drivers to make it work > install programs > reboot and overclock > browse the web

 

^This is typical for me.

I make sure my drivers are up to date and proceed to ninite to get all my essential programs. I also make sure to install an antivirus.
