My Gaming Rig

[CraigE]

Hi Guys

 

long time reader first time posting, thought i would share with you all my recently completed build

 

specs are

 

case - Thermaltake core v51 power cover edition

mobo - MSI Z97A Gaming 7

cpu - intel I5 4690K

ram - 16gb crucial ballistix sport

gpu - 2x MSI GTX970 gaming 100 ME

ssd - 500gb samsung 850 evo pro

hdd - 3tb wd green

OD -LG Bluray RW

PSU- Corsair RM850

cable mod full cable set with combs (colour doesn't match but prefer the flexability of the cablemod cables over the corsair braided cables)

 

cooling - EK SUPREMACY EVO FOR CPU, 2X EK FC-970 GTX TFX, 1X EK coolstream slim 240mm RAD 1X EK Coolstream slim 360mm rad, EK DDC res pump combo and 11 corsair sp fans (all running @ 600rpm)

 

i also have a NZXT Hue+ LED lighting and have painted fan rings and mobo heat sinks to match my overall theme 

 

i'm really pleased with the overclock i have acheived on both cpu(4.6ghz with 1.246v) and gpu (+200mhz 1524mhz  +400mhz for memory) and with the cooling parts fitted i get idle temps of 20-25 degrees on cpu and gpu and under full load with over clocks i am seeing 50-60 degrees on cpu and 40-50 degrees on gpu 

 

let me know what you all think and any tips or improvements 

 

also apolagies for poor picture quality

Really nice green build!  great work, looks nice, and good specs too!

And there is room for upgrading too in the future, if you like. For CPU intensive stuff, you can go up to an i7-4790k, more threads and such. You can even upgrade RAM, but dual 970's should get you along pretty well

You might want to step up to a I7

But I love how it looks, and if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pc cost?

@Trav_X i have been thinking of maybe going up to an i7 and getting faster ram but for now i'm really happy with frame rates in games i play at the moment

@Snipmen210 In total with all my periparals and monitor included i have around £2500 invested in it which is around $3500 usd not sure how many Canadian rupees that would be?
