My Current Rig + New case.

[yungblood]

My current rig currently does everything i need it to, and with some hidden gems in the price to performance department.

 

 

My CPU & Cooler:

Intel i7-2600k & Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - 100gbp

The reason for this purchase as it was a i7 @ 3.4ghz with potential to overclock for 75gbp. This was a present however and is currently running around 4-4.5 (im still overclocking it and finding things which just kill it. The cpu cooler i use is almost the cheapest you can get whilst still being able to overclock with solid results, I do have plans to replace the fans on my cooler, but i need to decide upon certain factors which will decide the one i buy.

 

My GPU:

MSI TwinFrozrr GTX 760 - 65gbp

Its a gtx 760, I had originally intended to pickup a R9 270x but this was in stock and 5gbp cheaper. So that was what was purchased. CEX Purchase like my cpu. DOES NOT LIKE BEING OVERCLOCKED.

 

My Motherboard:

Gigabyte z77x-UD5H - 115gbp

This is easily the most expensive part of this build, I couldn't any z68/z77 boards anywhere (even ebay), and then suddenly one turned up at a local computer shop, brand new 1155 board in 2018.

 

My PSU:

CX430 - 35gbp

Works and keeps my PC powered, no issues and its lasted over 1 year.

 

My RAM:

Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 8gb + 4gb standard stick - 42gbp

Bought the Corsair at the start of 2017 from a big box store, was cheap compared to now, i got it for 30gbp and the second stick was 12gbp. Its clocked to 1600mhz.

 

Case

Kolink Observatory - 63gbp

One of the first in the UK to ever get this case, it looks like a Corsair 570x Crystal. RGB fans come included however are remote controlled. Cable management brilliant, comes with fan hub and everything you need.

 

Keyboard + Mouse

Fnatic Flick + Drevo TKL Keyboard TYRFING - 60gbp

 

Mouse signed by KennyS + NBK and mousepad signed by many of the professional cs players. Decent keyboard (cherry mx reds) not rgb. Mouse is really nice, nice size, grip and glide.

 

Audio

Logitech G430 - 45gbp

Good base, they actually sound better in music, however still do perform quite well in games. Mics very MEH, sometimes drops and has lost tension.

Looks amazing, I think I'm going to get the same case. I was wondering: did the case come with many drive bays? (and if so how many). Thanks :]

3 drive bays and ssd installation was a cunt, but that imo was the only downside.
