My First Build

[Monty.D2]

Hey guys, i decided to share my build with you guys so here it is:

Case: Thermaltake Chaser Mk-1

RAM: G.Skill Ripjawz z Series 16gb (4x4gb) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200)

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 LGA1155

PSU: Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Bronze

GPU: Asus HD 7770 DirectCU 1gb GDDR5

Monitor: Asus 24" monitor (model will be posted)

CD Drive: Asus Dvd drive (model will be posted)

SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3 120GB Sata3

Hard Drives: 1tb Western Digital Caviar Black

500gb Western Digital Caviar Blue

PS. The thermaltake chaser mk-1 already comes with 2 200mm and a 140mm on the back, i was thinking of adding another 200mm at the top or would of be over kill, should i add 2 140mm instead?

oh yea the gpu averages about 27 degrees Celsius when its not in use shoots up to around 35 degrees when it is

cpu averages under 35 degrees (with a stock cooler)

Well, mid-high-end components with an entry-level graphics card :( Disappointing a little; are you planning to upgrade it with the new generation/s?

A graphics upgrade would definitely help you to take advantage of that beefy CPU. Have you got any pictures? I'd love to see what that case looks like when it's built in!

You will not need them (it is overkill) but if you have a colour scheme you can get some BitFenix fans or something and just improve the colour so much...

It's not necessary for performance though.

I agree with Dim. A low end GPU with a mid to high end PC. I think the 4 sticks of RAM is unnecessary as well. A dual channel configuration is what I prefer. With such low end GPU I think a 750W PSU is overkill. As far as the fans, I don't think you will need them.
