haha, Nice buy loving the laptop pizza box's look you got going

Great Mobo, solid build. Looks good =)

Pretty good, well done on the processor, i5 unlocked is all you need. Are you going to get a proper graphics card for it? The Integrated graphics will hold you back quite a bit, although running RS and such shouldn't be a problem.

I was just about to say this. You really might want to invest into a graphics card. Maybe not a high-end one, but I'd get one if I was you. That's if you're going to use this for gaming.

Other than that though, great build.

Yeah I plan on buying a graphics card in a few weeks or so, when I get paid again. Just felt like buying the basics, assemble it and just use the board's graphics for now.

Oh cool, have any ideas as to which one you're going to buy?

Nice man, and im loving the pizza laptop, that could be the next big thing =))))

Not too sure, would have to look around for a bit.

Very nice upgrade ^_^ Congrats! I'd be excited about that too... I was going to get a guy friend of mine to build and put together a new computer/PC for me.

However, I figured it'd be a hassle getting it to school once the semester starts. Thinking about getting a PS3/some controllers/and playing MW3 for the summer instead of a new computer.

My jaw kind of dropped when I saw the picture of your current laptop, lol. No offense, but a pizza laptop box...very original and eccentric.

Whatever you do, make sure you go Nvidia. Something out of the 500/600 series would be very nice.

You guys do know he's just joking around with the pizza box laptop, right?

If you're planning on botting at all you made a mistake getting the i5 over the i7. And if you don't plan on going SLI with 2 GPU's or 'crossfire' then a 400-600W PSU would have been sufficient, but that PSU is good if you do.

edit: I would have spent $300 on the i7-3770 and got a $100 mobo with it, or go for the 3770k, $30 on cooling & a $110 mobo that's decent for OC'ing. Without OC'ing the 3770 would be able to run 10-14 bots, I personally get 12. I get 14 on my 2600k OC'd, 8 on my i7-860, 7 on my fx-8150, and 6 on my fx-8120.

 

[SmperFidelis]

Nah, I don't really plan on botting really, mainly just upgraded since my current computer is a piece of shit.


On a side note, everything came today, looking good so far, should be up and running with pictures tomorrow.

 

[SmperFidelis]

Got it all set up!

Of course there was a short in my power supply, but luckily my dad had a similar PSU I'm using in the mean time.

 

[SmperFidelis]

A little messy inside, so I didn't want to take a picture of the insides. I'll straighten it up soon though.

 

[Laptop65]

Show off Tidy it up a bit inside then post a picture mate, let's see if it can compete, WITH MINE. You decided when you're going to buy a graphics card yet?

 

[n4n0]

Not too bad at all, get us some pics of the inside once you've tidied it up

 

[SmperFidelis]

Been wayyy too lazy to fix the wiring in the inside. But about a week ago, I ordered a new graphics card.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=86840 is my card.

New updated Windows Rating:

I also plan on buying a 120-256gb SSD, new CPU fan (might go liquid cooling), and a couple more accessories. Not too good with picking out SSD's, so anyone that's wanting to give me a couple tips on the SSD would be appreciated.

And one last thing. Is Liquid cooling really worth getting, or just buy a better CPU fan? I'm currently using the stock fan right now.
