Project Dragon (First build)

[jamesallenby]

So this my first built designed for gaming and media playing (xbmc). I needed something as an upgrade from a dell 15R laptop that could output 5.1 surround sound and obviously game better.

Its built in a corsair 300r windowed case with nzxt sleeved red led lights in

The motherboard is a msi z87-g45 gaming with an intel i5 4670k (stck cooler )

For ram i got an 8gb duel channel kingston hyperx beast ram running at 2400mhz stock

For storage I have a samsung evo 120gb ssd and a seagate 320gb hdd (that i had spare but planning on getting a wd green 1tb)

For power i have a corsair rm550w which is quiet as hell 

 

As for the peripherals I have a Benq Gl2450 which has a 2ms response time 

For a keyboard i have the corsair k30 

And for a mouse the corsair m65 fps 

And the speakers are dell altec lansing ada995 (and thats a spare amp sitting on top nad 3020i)

 

And to fill the pace on the left an Macintosh Cassic II that i found outside someones house.

 

In a few months I will pick up a msi r9 270x but unsure weather to get a 2gb version or 4gb any thoughts ?
