Time has come for the new to come and old to leave (lol rip fx4100) and Im excited to say that the time has finally come for me to build a new friend.

 

Le Spec Sheet:

 

CPU: i5 4690k

Cooler: Yet to come.

Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro

Ram: A-Data 8GB 1600MHz

Storage: SSD: Not here yet. HDD: Toshiba 1TB 7200RPM

GPU: Asus DirectCU II GTX 770

Case: CoolerMaster Elite 410+

PSU: Not here quite yet.

 

But you have a Razer Blade, why build another computer?

Ok so yes the Blade does bascially do everything I need it to and could ever want it to do, but ever since my old desktop died out, the Blade was being used a lot and I figured I wasnt going to be able to keep using it all the time for games anymore (not that it couldnt handle the games, but still). So I figured it'd make more sense to just build a new PC to give the Blade a rest, and well, I also needed a new desktop computer :P.

 

Reason's why I went with the parts I did (out of the parts that I currently have)

 

CPU: I went with this CPU because the guys at MicroCenter gave it to me for $180, lol microcenter is clutch af.

Mobo: Basically this wasnt my planned board, BUT the guys at MicroCenter gave it to me for like $50 off its normal tag, so it was affordable and offers all the features I need, and has nice looks (nothing too simple, but not too 360quickscopenoscopefuckyourmothergamingpc)

GPU: Yes there are similar AMD cards that can be found online for around the same price (290 or for less the 280x) but I wanted to get the GPU today and I got the guys down to $215 for the DCUII.

RAM: Already owned the RAM, no need to upgrade from one 2x4 1600 kit to a new 2x4 1600 kit lol.

Storage: The 1TB drive I currently own is fine, like said above, no need to buy a new drive when its the same thing, and this one works great tbh. As for the SSD, its still undecided which one I can really get for the price that will suit my needs, still stuck between a few choices.

Case: Already had this case, has sentimental value to me ^_^.

PSU: Not gotten yet.

 

The pictures will come, Im typing this now only because I took a break from building to watch some basketball and sit on the couch :P.

 

Stay subbed to the thread if you wanna see more as the week goes on (aka when the last parts come).
