My first gaming PC!

Maxaah · April 2, 2013

Hello Guys,

I wanted to show you my first gaming PC that i build last Saturday. I Have no GPU in my build yet. Had some, let's call it 'financial' issues :P. Getting the card in around 20 days.

Specs:

MOBO: MSI Z77a-G43

CPU: i5-3570k (Still at stock speeds)

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 1600MHz. (I Know 16 GB is overkill for gaming and just normal tasks. But my dad said "It might come in handy in the future and i will pay the extra 50 euros for the RAM as a gift) Well, You can't turn down that offer :p

GPU: As i said, It will come in 20 days.

PSU: Corsair CX600M

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB

SSD: Samsung 840 Series 120 GB

Case: Corsair C70

Monitor: Some LG Monitor that i had laying around, need replacement because i want a bigger screensize

Keyboard & Speakers: Also some old junk that i had laying around, will do for now. Will upgrade in the future

Mouse: Microsoft comfort mouse 4500. Isn't really that much suited for gaming, but i play fine with it :).

Oh and for the bonsai tree if interested hehe, just bought it at ikea, just like my desk.

I've changed the side window in the case as you might notice in the following pictures, i didn't need the extra fan mounting holes and the window is ugly anyway. I'm really happy with the end result :).

And for my CPU cooler i've mounted the fans for the Corsair H100i underneath the radiator so it blows air out off the case. Temps below:

Idling: 30-32 (Core 0&1) 20-25 (Core 2&3)

Prime 95 for 30 Minutes: All cores (55-59)

Pictures (I Will add more soon, but for now these are all i had):
