Wifi's Personal Build Log

[Wifi]

Welcome to my post. This post is just me showing off my personal build. I know some parts are old but I'm upgrading them soon. I'm only 16 making about $100.00 CAD every 2 weeks. The pictures that are below were taken with a iPhone 4 with a life proof case on so sorry for the bad quality.

Current System:

- i5 3570K OC to 4.2 GHz

- Asus P8 Z77-V Pro/Thunderbolt Motherboard

- Noctua NH-U12P SE2 CPU Cooler

- NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 1GB

- 16GB Kingston HyperX Genesis (4x 4GB)

- Corsair TX 650M Power Supply

- Samsung 840 250GB SSD

- Hitachi 250GB Hard Drive (My old laptop hard drive when my laptop screen broke)

- Hitachi 500GB Hard Drive (Old hard drive from 2008)

- AVerMedia HD DVR Capture Card (Yes, I play on a console for now)

- Cooler Master Storm Enforcer Mid Tower Case

- 2x Arctic Cooling Arctic F12 PWM 120mm High Performance Case Fan (Front of the case for intake)

- Enermax U.R.VEGAS 120mm Case Fan (Rear of the case for exhaust)

- Stock Cooler Master 200mm Red LED Case Fan (Top of the case for exhaust)

- Stock Cooler Master 120mm Case Fan (Zip tied to the 5.25" drive bays for intake. Yes the case door is removed)

Here are the pictures. Just a heads up though, my cable management is just under decent but I will be doing a lot of cable management work when I get my new parts.

Looks good.

You'll definitely be able to OC that CPU more with that cooler. I have a 3570k at 4.2 GHz with a pretty pathetic Zalman cooler and the temps are fine.

Also, if I was you, I'd definitely sacrifice that 500GB SSD and some of the RAM for a better GPU. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that GT 520 bottle-necking your PC...

A little cable management and this PC will look pretty awesome :)

Also' date=' if I was you, I'd definitely sacrifice that 500GB SSD and some of the RAM for a better GPU. Maybe even find a slightly cheaper mother board. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that GT 520 is going to bottleneck your PC. Good luck with the build though! Can't wait to see it all come together :)[/quote']

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry but I can't "sacrifice" the SSD and the RAM. Also, I messed up and it's a 250GB SSD. I'll edit the post and change that now. Anyways, the SSD and some of the RAM I can't throw away or sell them. I'm now saving up my paychecks for some new hardware.

Dat cable management.

Dat cable management.

Yea I know. The cable management is terrible or just under decent. Once I get a new case which should be soon I will be taking a lot of time with the cable management.
