Completely Custom Dell Inspiron 530

[VALCISAW]

The case is the only thing standard about this build however it has a total of 3 green led fans on it one at the back and 2 on the side panel for cooling, and the whole thing is custom painted mat black with a custom nvidia design window in the side panel the front of the case has a dead space kid of look to it in that there are multiple lines going straight across the front Makes more sense if you look at the pictures 

Hardware includes:

.Nvidia GTX 770 4GB Jetstream by palit 

.Asrock B75 PRO3-M Motherboard 

.Intel Pentium Dual core 3.10 GHZ CPU

.Corsair CX 750W PSU 

.Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler

 

Im going to get the ram tomorrow and also some dremel discs to cut out the rear IO shield as it is part of the case and cannot be removed 

More updates coming soon check out my channel for more https://www.youtube.com/user/VALCISAW

770 and a pentium, odd setup you've gone for there.

that is a sexy paint job, its like a bitfenix colossus, btw your temps will be very hot without an intake, i did something like this with the insprion 620

[nsyedhasan]

Why the pentium? Also how the card?

[<boss2939>]

Any bottlenecking with the Pentium and the 770. I too have a weird setup a8 5600k with a 660 but, I am very interested to know if you really need a i5 4670k to play games with a 770

750W PSU why? A decent 500W would have covered it.

[VALCISAW]

well i have tested the graphics card before with a lesser cpu and i can run crysis 3 at completely max settings at 65 FPS max witch is pretty good i think so there aren't that many bottlenecks but in games that require a lot of cpu usage it might be better to have a core i5 or somthing like that but on black ops 2 which is a game that requires quite a bit of cpu usage for those who have never played it is still really playable in max settings so im not gona upgrade the cpu just yet  

thanks for the comments though more updates coming tommoro

[VALCISAW]

i have since posing this done this in preparation for cutting out the rear i o shield 

[RadSalacan]

Love the pic of you flipping the rear I/O the bird.

[VALCISAW]

i have cut out the rear io shield now an the motherboard is installed now just restoring the hard drive because there was something wrong with one of the program files should have my computer back soon

[Ham1234]

Thats funny because i had to cut out the io shield off an old HP computer that i upgraded the motherboard in.

if you're planning to buy a descend gpu, like the 770,  i don't see any good reason why you buy a mb with video output, i mean... why the hell would ya...  anyways, weird build.

that 770 looks pretty nice actually

Don't most Z77/Z87 boards have a video out anyway? Mine does, at least.

But it's definitely cool to know that the CPU doesn't seem to bottleneck the setup

that severely.

ive finished the setup now and hears the setup

pentium and a 770...now I've seen everything.

[VALCISAW]

i'll admit the 770 and the pentium are a weird combination but i did it because i was on a budget of a £120 for the cpu and motherboard and you know what it works really well and now because the motherboard is lga1155 i can upgrade to a core i7 later

 

but in far cry 3 i get 60-70 fps at 1080p in ultra pre set

in BO2 in 1080 i get 60-100 fps in ultra pre set at 1080p

and in crysis 2 i get 60-70 fps in ultra pre sets at 1080p 

basically completely max in every game i have and i am really pleased so i would strongly recommend the 770 jetstream provided you have a  2.6GHZ core 2 duo or above and 4GB  of ram 

[VALCISAW]

hears the pics
