Okay so... hi everyone, welcome to my first build log
This isn't my first custom build but the first one was for my little brother, so it's actually my first gaming rig
After a lot of thought I went with these:
case: black NZXT Phantom 530 so nice
mobo: ASRock Z97 Extreme3 (had a hard time finding a nice black/blue one, most of the gaming mobos are black/red )
cpu: Intel Core i5-4690K
gpu: GeForce GTX 780 PNY enthusiast edition (maybe SLI later, when funds are available ^^)
ram: Crucial 8GB DDR3 1866 Ballistix Tactical Tracer
psu: Cooler master V700
ssd: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250 Go
hard drive: Western Digital Red 2To
optical drive: external Samsung (don't use CD's that much so I want to be able to use it between diffrent PC's)
ventillation: case fans + 5 be quiet Shadow Wings 120mm
monitor: Dell U2414H (the bezel is sooooo thin! would be perfect for surround!)
mouse: Logitech G502
keyboard: Steelseries apex raw
headphones: Steelseries Siberia V2 blue special edition
so a few glam shots
with the pannel on (hello foot)
and cable management
bulding was painless exept for a few things:
I couldn't get the ssd tray out, my boyfriend had to take it out for me, same thing with the front and top covers
cable management isn't the best yet but I want to get sleeved cables so... and the fan hub is great but not tha easy to cable manage ^^
