First Time Build

[Epikas]

Hey guys

 

So I recently built up a pc for the first time. It was made on a tight budget, and some compromises were made. However, I think the end product came out pretty good. What do you guys think?

 

Not the best with a camera, so please excuse the high exposure and long shutter timings.

 

Computer is about 25% darker in real life than the photos.

 

Specs:

 

Intel Core i5 3570k @ 4.5ghz

 

Asus P8Z77-M

 

Patriot Viper 3 8gb 1866mhz

 

Coolermaster Seidon 120M

 

XFX PRO650W

 

Asus 7870 Direct CUII

 

Asus Xonar DG

 

Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD

 

Sandisk Extreme 120gb SSD 

 

Windowed Coolermaster N200 

 

 

 

 

Extras:

 

1x Corsair SP120

 

2x Enermax TB Vegas 120mm

 

Antec USB Lightstrip

 

Bitfenix Spectre Pro 120mm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I did a fairly good job at cable management. I know its not perfect, but not bad for a noobie.

 

 

 

What do you guys think? If there is anything I could do better, please feel free.

 

 

Thanks~

Really good +1 but how is that a tight budget?

I surprisingly got good deals on these components from ncix. This computer ended up costing me slightly under $1100CAD.  

 

If there is anything that could be better, what do you guys suggest I do?

 

Thanks
