The Big Rig

Hi, I decided to make a rig for gaming, mainly BF4.

Specs:

i5 4670k @ 4.6 GHz

EVGA GTX 780 +200 MHz OC and +500 MHz memory

Gigabyte Z87X-OC

Corsair Air 540

8gb Corsair Vengeance

OCZ 256gb Vertex 450

H100i with 2xNoctua NF-F12

OCZ 550w ZT PSU

This rig performs great in modern games, 90fps average on BF4 @Ultra with shadow play enabled.

100+fps on Sim City at the highest settings. I am happy with the silence and temperatures of this system when when under full load. Max temps are about 85 with OCCT avx linpack but under normal load I haven't hit 75°C. I do intend to use noctua fans for the rest of the rig but I might try some be quiet! fans. Hope you like the look of the rig, will post some performance numbers and since better pictures of the rig :)

(In the pictures the fans for the rad are SP120 silent fans but I have since replaced then with noctua fans)

Some orange sleeved cables and those red rings orange and it'll look good. I had no idea the air 540 was so spacious :o

Looks good bud, but seriously Orange and Red! Bleurgh

I'd recommend spraying the fan rings Orange, it's really easy to do :)

I don't have those fans anymore, I replaced them with noctua nf-f12's :)

Your cables look very nice for actually being plugged in. Some people don't plug in cables for the sake of aesthetics
