8gb DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) corsair ram
evga nvidia geforce gts 250 1gb video card
intel p67 xtreme 4 bs motherboard
artic cooling freezer pro 7 rev.2 cpu cooler
ocz-zs750-750w psu








Backlit Keyboard



Crazy close fit on the cpu cooler there






USB 3.0 Headers





WEI IS A JOKE AT 5.9 OVERALL SCORE LOL EVERYTHING ELSE IS 7.0 OR HIGHER

 

dude, put an SSD in that bad boy.

 

the mobo says nvidia and ati because it supports both ati crossfire and nvidia sli, the keyboard is actually bright as hell in the night, it has 3 adjustable brightness settings, cost me about $530 to upgrade from previous parts

i was going too but then the prices are so dam high, eventually i will though, when its worth it for the price lol

 

thanks a lot man, nope the hard drive is 7200 rpm, an im thinkin about gettin rid of that massive cpu cooler and go with a more quiet luquid cooling, was looking into this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835209049

ill post up some pix if i do install this

 

where did you order you parts from? im also looking for a hard drive for my pc how do i know whats a good one to get i have a i7 with a msi board and 8 gigs of ram ddr3

 

i order all my parts from newegg.com and whats the exact model number of your motheboard? this what you or i can check what sata speeds the motherboard supports, then you can look for a hard drive to match the sata speeds and get optimal performance.nice setup too, whats speed is your i7?

 

I saw a great deal on Newegg sometime ago when I was piecing together my build. I believe it was $149 with mail in for an 80gb solid state. I say just put windows and main apps on there and you can pick up 1tb for around $70.

 

i was thinkin to do the same thing you said, have the o.s on the ssd and everything else on the sata hard drive but then programs on the sata drive wud run slower so theres no point rly, i want everything to run as fast as possible, im waiting on the prices to go down for ssd so ill just get a good 500GB and im fine with that.

 

i have the z68a-gd55 msi board its supports sata 3 i was thinking of getting the ocz 120gig ssd

 

yeah you shud be good with sata 6 gb/s hard drives

 

lol he noes wats good

 

SAY WHATTTTTTTT! Stop lying to the people on MP and tell them i built this for you :x This is mad freakin sickk, you have a pro setup with the wall mounts. That was mad close with the heatsink, but i like how you made it work. I don't use ASRock brands or Corsair, but tell me how it performs for you. Seems like i5 is doing you quite well. The WEI gave me like the same score, so don't feel bad lol. You weren't joking with your wire management. We have some talking to do mistah! You still have to help me with my cooling

 

lmfaooooo were yah beeen, havent seen yuh on aim ina min, at first i didnt think the fan part of the heatsink wud fit but i got it lol,the ram and mobo workin smooooth as ever, this upgraded rebuild went smoother than my first original build,- where i had to replace the mobo cuz of heating issues, ima buy a moular power supply soon lmao so tlk abt even more wire management, yepp i got u on ur cooling , hit meh up on aim, if im on away im at school-got night classes, but ill rply wen i get home

 

Yeah I have been m.i.a for a while lmao. I am back on aim though. I felt so stupid the first time i was building my computer because when i turned it on, the heatsink fan wouldn't spin and I was freaking out. BUTTT.. I didn't know that I could adjust the fan..lol... I'm surprised you even had heating issues in the first place, your beast is cooler than mine. Sad, I have a modular but it's not near as wire managed as you. You know, I think I might just work on that today, you've inspired me lol. I never got to ask how your speech went either I'll hit you up on aim, so we can finish this convo lol. I got too much to say!

 

lmaoo dnt feel stupid , all computer builders run into problems here and there, big ones ,small ones, all kinds rofl, yeah thats how bad the mobo was , my case is cooled good and effeciently and that mobo was just heatin up so quick , and it wud lock up and hang and restart, all kinda crazinesss man,glad ive inspired oyu lol !, i got some pix that are not on here, showing how i did wiring and so, so u can see how i hid some cables etc, my speech went aright lol, waz nervouse as ah mofo, but glad i got it over with , got ah 89 woiii, yup def hit meh up on aim, i leave house like 4pm and come back til 9ish tuhnight tho

 

Thank you, and so true lol. One time I couldn't figure out why the monitor wasn't working.. I was in PC Support class too and I didn't realize there was a dedicated gfx card. I felt sooo dumb. These guys were making fun of me and I got upset by it, but then I had brought my build in for this project my teacher wanted to do and those same guys were telling me how sick my rig is. smfhh

You know what you just reminded me of something too. Cause i think I read somewhere that your mobo supports nVidia SLi, and i got a question on that. Something doesn't seem right about my gfx card. I'll tell you on aim.

Don't be nervous about a speech because half those people couldn't do any better than you. And you did really well to get an 89, so congrats on that Ok ok i'll aim you the rest now.

 

How the **** do you route your wires so neatly lol
