sean i did some turbo setting thing in my motherboard software so that it overclocks a little bit. but not much. i dont know how to properly do it myself so i just let it be. but i will probably find out later and do it eventually

looks like a pretty solid first build.. and you shouldn't have overheating problems as long as you clean the dust out of your case every 3 to 6 months.. oh and keeping your case elevated also helps with air circulation and dust btw

by **defrag** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 2:45 pm

oh dont go and get your panties and in a bunch.

yes, i would agree that your system is probably 10x better than your previous rig, but its my nature to point out things that i see.

it's not the end of the world having the shorter pcb (pcb is the green board your graphics card is built on) so take it with a grain of salt.

while it is not my system, i just gave you the best and honest advice from my years of experience in the field.

you dont have to please me, the only person you have to please is yourself.

keep those "mother fucker" comments to yourself.

I only use WD blacks. I have a crucial c300 SSD for my programs/os drive and it's been rock solid for a year+. Same with my 2600k, best cpu purchase Ive ever made. Been running 24/7 @ 4.2ghz on stock cooling for almost ta year.

Everything looks solid. Might as well get 16gigs of ram tho. You can't get 12g if you want to run your system properly (dual channel mode)

And that toshiba hard drive blows dick. Go with Western Digital or seagate.

Here was the final combo I got from newegg. A lot of the same components that you ordered except the PSU is different and it doesn't come with a HD. Might have saved you a little money but looks like you already ordered your stuff. Hope the build works well for ya!

Lol, I just assumed PSUs were supposed to kick the bucket after a few years. Im currently running a 750W antec I think.

i prefer PSUs that dont shit out in a year or 2. right now ive got a corsair 750w(seasonic manufactures them) before that i went through 1 doa, and 1 dead within a week antecs on this system.

my last system had enermax PSU that ran continuously for over 5 years before dying. i never turn my computer off. i went through 2 more antecs in 2 years, but one of them was a refurb pos i bought on sale needing a PSU and only having 40 dollars to spend, so i dont count it.

the system before that ran a sparkle PSU for pretty much 5 years solid and with a full mobo/cpu/ram/vid swap about 2 years into its life.

you can be happy with PSUs dying, i dont have the money to replace the parts shitty PSUs take with them when they die violently. im done with antec personally.

on that note, fuck razer as well. fuck them up the collective ass.

Might consider buying 2 cheap cards and running in SLI, when I built my machine it was like 150$ cheaper to buy 2 GTX 550s than to buy the latest and greatest, for about the same performance. Obviously it's cheaper to upgrade the expensive card, but I don't plan on doing that anytime soon.

new development. i had already decided on the i5 3750 (or 2500 depending on price), the asus Z77 that defrag suggested, and the cooler master HAF 912 case. i just found a bundle from newegg with all 3 of those products in it (except the case is the upgraded version HAF 922 instead of 912). pretty ideal. the bundle is also coming with a legit PSU this time, by cooler master, not by some random "rosewill" brand i havent heard of like the last bundle. also comes with some alright ram, 8 gigs of gskill ddr3 12800. looks like i am going to order this right now. this gives me about 200 bux to spend on gfx card, cuz i am already spending 100 on SSD drive... this would put me at 800 bux. not bad at all.

unpro. to touch on your ram question, i just feel like it is so damn cheap... why not? i'll buy 8 gigs for 41 bux, but 12 gigs will cost me 15 bux more. why not pay that extra money. its the graphics card that i am thinking about going cheap on right now, and then upgrading that in a 4-5 months. cuz thats where i can save a hundred bucks or so by getting a cheaper one, and it'll be easy to just switch them out. plus 1.3/1.6 wont require a super powerful card. but if 8 gigs of ram costs me 41 bux but 12 costs me 55, im getting 12 gigs.

Gurus seem to recommend to get a lot more PSU than you need. It's all about those GPUs, their power requirements, and how many volts you have per rail, or something like that. That's usually your biggest power hog. Most store bought systems have what you need power wise, but not for any substantial upgrades. Personally I would get at least a 650.

I didnt see the combo deals on Newegg before. I was looking at this build which seems good for the price. Too bad its Sandy bridge and not Ivy though.

THEY ARE SHIT!

THE END

my amd phenom II runs anything that CPUs sold by intel when i bought it can run. handles any game i wanna play, and doesnt have any issue with anything i do. was also 100 dollars cheaper than the comparable Intel cpu at the time.

If you arent doing a ton of media crunching or shit like that, then an AMD will get you everything you want, with less cost. Ive only ever had AMDs in my systems, and ive had 0 issue ever running games intel CPUs can. you got a p4 2.4ghz, ive got an xp 1800+. fucking ran circles around that p4. oh you upgraded to a 3.4ghz? np, ive got a 64bit 3200+ that still shits on your comp and it costs me a fuck ton less. Radeon GPUs play any game out at high resolutions and high settings, and do it generally cheaper. the drivers are not nearly as bad as they used to be either. my 4890 runs cs go on low settings 1024x768(crt and i think its easier to distinguish shit at lower settings) at 200-300fps. would have it with a second, but the fuckers stopped carrying it a month after i bought it. didnt read the latest news on time frames for manufacture before i bought and pouted like a bitch about it.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103727 at $109 - that will run any game out, as well as any game comming out in the next 2-3 years.

also, why the fuck do you need 12-16gigs of ram to play 1.3 and csgo? i have 4 gigs and ive yet to run into a bottle neck via ram with 2 streams going, csgo/LoL alt tabbed, vent/skype open and browsing reddit. i have serious doubts you need 12 - 16gigs of ram.

seriously, if you wanna $600 system, go AMD. once you have that to last you the next few years, you can work towards getting the awesome shit when everything goes better and you have 900-1200 to spend.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the- ... -tested/20 (yes an older review) an average of 20fps more when shits maxed out. big fucking deal for 100+ dollars more. i would rather spend the saved money on another TB of hd space.
