Kitty playing with my logitech G35's lol..

 

It's a pretty beastly machine, almost over kill tbh though. How much did you pay for it?

 

Moved to Technology

very very nice! as moh said, how much did it cost you?

 

i have the receipts but too lazy to calculate, roughly 2,500 or so..

 

You overpaid a bit =\ Should have only been around $1,000-$1,500, but you chose expensive parts and overkill on specifics, for example the PSU & ram were completely unnecessary. 700W & 16 gb would have been more than enough for what you've got, your mobo has features you're not using and overpaid for too.

Unless you plan on getting two GPU's & will actually use that much ram.

 

Very nice build, very clean too. Great job on the wiring. That's one place I lack in. I'm too lazy to spend the time cleaning up wiring.

 

This, 2500 is a bit much, but still! If you have the money, might as well spend it on what you like. It's definitely a very advanced bit of machinery, it should be able to handle any game they throw at you in the next 5 years. I'm jealous of your case, it's really sleek looking. Like n4n0 said too, I'm really lazy with cleaning up the inside, the most I ever do is make sure none of the wires get caught in the fan.

 

That computer is monstrous. Nice man. Looks like you really put some time and money into it.

 

Nice PC, its funny to see you use brands that I'd never pick.

And good wiring/sleeving. I'm so shit at that I take closed cases.

 

Nice PC man, how much did you pay?

 

Very nice build, parts are top notch. How do you find the air circulation of the cosmos II? Hope you're planning to crossfire or trifire the 7970 with that PSU

 

I am clocked at 4.7 and its still not a 7.9 on the scale. Let me know if you can get it up there, otherwise, that looks sick great job!

 

im actually upgrading soon to the 3930k..should of gotten it to begin with >_>..this 3820 is annoying to oc

 

Amazing build man! Honestly looks so good, I built my first ever desktop this year, nowhere near as great as yours though! I must admit it was so satisfying once I finished to know that I had constructed it myself and at a fraction of the cost which a pre-built machine would have cost.

Good job man.

 

Wish I would have went with an I7, but the build looks great!

 

yeah man its amazing..i love building pcs, iv built at least 6 or 7 now for my friends. just built a machine for my buddy..AMD FX 6-Core Black Edition FX-6100 with a 6970, 8 gigs of ram, costed 600 odd some dollars..620w modular powersupply on sale for $60 originally $90, its awesome to get such amazing deals and such great results

 

4.3 ghz is a great core speed. Why would you need any more than that?
What are you doing on your computer that needs that much power?

Great build btw. I think anything over 8 GB of RAM is overkill, but hey, it's your money lol.

 

nothing serious, have an addiction to wanting the best stuff i can buy for my pc.
