Hi all. Thanks for checking out my (first) build log.
A month or so ago I broke my old case attempting to update the cable management. Since I'd had it for a while, I decided to make a change and move into doing a few mods. Having built a few Prodigy rigs, I felt comfortable enough with the platform and decided to give the Phenom a shot.
Some of my hardware has changed, but a good bit of it's a few generations behind. If you're looking for cutting edge parts you should stop reading now. I'll eventually upgrade my entire rig, but as it stands it handles all my games @ 1080p without much issue. At this point I'm mainly focused on aesthetics.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. On to the parts list:
CPU: i5-2500k @ 4.4 GHz (Turbo on Stock Voltage)

RAM: G Skill Ares 8GB DDR3-2133 (@ 2133 on 1.6v)
MOBO: MSI Z77IA-53
GPU: EVGA 660Ti 2GB FTW Sig 2 (OC'd +40/+80)
PSU: XFX TS550 550w

I'm sure I'm leaving out other miscellaneous parts. I'll try to list them as I go, but feel free to ask about anything.
