Stevob21's new PC

[Stevob21]

Hey people, I'm sure atleast a few of you here may know me and for you few that knew me, You knew that I was against change.

I used to run a pile of shit PC that I didn't believe new technology would actually benefit me much.

Old PC Specs:
Pentium D, yea that D means Dual-Core, Beasting.
4-6GB of DDR2 800MHZ (On a good day it would play nice and show me 6GB as one stick was faulty, partially.) - If it works, Don't fix it.
250GB HDD, pile of shit. - Went slow.
2 x 9800GT's
A metal tin can case
Stupid 1024x1280 monitor.

So one day I decided the following : Fuck it, any penny I get in from doing computer work for friends and family, it goes on a new pc.

So this is what came out of it, It has 0.0% lag on any game I throw at it maxed out and it just looks plain awesome.

CPU: FX-8350, No OC, Don't need it - 4.0GHZ 8Core
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1666MHZ
Boot Disk: SanDisk 120GB Extreme Pro - Cost atleast £200 when I got it.
Game storage disk: 1TB Samsung thing - Pretty good actually.
Motherboard: Sabretooth 990FX R2.0
Graphics: 2 x 660TI's - Yeah, I like my SLI setups.
Case: NZXT Phantom - White





These images were before I bought a new white desk and a new 24" 1920x1080 Acer LED monitor, the desk has mood lighting too.

I also done more cable tidying inside and braided my inner cables White with light blue heat shrink.

Thanks for having a look, comment on what you think - Stephen

That looks pretty expensive, how much did you pay in total?

[wakeboarderCWB]

Looks pretty good, but I think you would've been better of with an i5-3570k. Runs cooler, performs better, and is just overall better for an extra $20-$30. Also, what PSU do you have?

[Stevob21]

The PSU is a 750W OCZ Mainstream series.

In total the whole thing including new monitor and desk cost about £1600/$2400

How much was that case? I'm stuck with my HAF 942 x and it's ugly as fuck.

Yeh that is a nice case. I need to get a new PC too really but I just can't be bothered at the moment.

[Stevob21]

The case was priced at £99 / $170-180 when I bought it, keeps my system cool at about 30-40c.

That's a damn good computer you built here. Good job on not jumping the corsair bandwagon.
