First Build: Bitfenix Prodigy (Blue)

[Spikey238]

Hi, I just finished my new build a couple days ago. This is the first mini-itx computer that I have built, but I have helped on several other PCs' in the past. I am only seventeen years old, but I have adept computer knowledge, so I thought why not build my own computer? I paid for all the parts and assembled the computer by myself. I also loaded Windows 8 and installed software and drivers by myself. So, let me know what you guys think about this build in the comments section below and enjoy the awesome pictures. Thanks!

 

 

Specs:

Bitfenix Prodigy (Blue)

NZXT Sentry Fan Controller- mesh

Asrock Z87e-itx Motherboard

Lepa G750-MAS (750 watt PSU)- first one I had was Corsair g700 2013 edition, which was defective.

Corsair H60 (Newest Edition)

Intel i7 4770k CPU

Galaxy Gtx 770 GPU

1 TB Western Digital Green Hard Drive 

SanDisk Extreme 120 GB SSD

Cruical Ballistix Elite 2x4 (8gb) Memory

H60 isn't the first CPU Cooler I'd think to put on a 4770k lol

Thanks, it took forever to build because of the space requirements.

Hahaha, me neither, but I thought it fit in the budget and I was originally going to go with the i5 4670k.

Thanks, I thought it was ingenious, but I'm not sure about the signal strength.

Even for the 4670k, I'd only get a H100i or Noctua NH-D14

Prodigy is pretty bad for cable management but I think it could be done a bit better. It does look really good on the GPU side which you'll be looking at most of the time, though .

I very compact little machine. Congrats on your first complete build!

Routing the cables was seriously difficult, as the psu didn't fit in perfectly, so cables got smashed; the lepa psu has flat cables though, so that made the process easier. Thanks for your comment, and I agree, my main focal point was the window side of the case which looks awesome!

Thank you! The final product was definitely worth the effort. The pics aren't the best though, as I took them with my Sony Xperia P camera.
