Will get another aftermarket cooler for my CPU, as the default sucks if you are overclocking.


Oh yes, I got windows 7 PRO for free so why the fuck not.


MEOW!
 
The Samsung 840 Pro is a beast guaranteed first to spawn in your vehicle of choice in bf4.

Looks good Fast! Are you putting it together yourself or getting tigerdirect to? Compared some prices with ncix?

H100i is a great CPU Cooler!
 
Well most of these stuff I went to tigerdirect outlet to get them. I never heard of NCIX until couple days ago. I ordered my toxic and my case from them.

Yeah they do price matching which is even better. I know that now for next time.

I will be doing it myself. Not the best at it but this will be great practice.

Oh yes had to buy brackets for my 2.5 in SSD and my SSD hybrid.

I will keep the H100i in mind when I am buying a cooler ;D
 
looks pretty sweet dude get some pics up when its all done.. is that a handle on the case to carry that bitch to some lan events??

It's actually pretty light on its own. Heavier if you put stuff in it.

I have never done LAN events, and I don't think I am planning to lol.
 
Thats quite the case.
I just built a very similar machine with/for my buddy yesterday. He got a Cool Master Evo 212 (30 bucks) for his CPU cooler. On stock settings (8350 @ 4.0GHZ) it didn't get above 44c on Prime95. Highly recommended if you are only going to do some medium to light overclocking (4.5 GHz) and don't want to spring for the Corsair.

Overall solid build.
 
Shit you could over clock this puppy to 5 GHz but that is insane for an 8 core....
 
Swiftech Helix? What tehgey? He means "Scythe Gentle Typhoon" amirite? Stupid rebranding makes my dick soft.

Also, I swear that guy looks like a gay drug addict... that's all I can think of anytime I watch their videos.
 
HAve to let me know how it does Fast. I plan on upgrading not long after New Years. AMD of course and Nividia video for me as always.
 
Bob, AMD 8350 is great bargain, I got it for 189 for an 8 core at high clock speed plus it's unlock so OC as much as you want. It's not intel technology but I would say mine is more future proof just because applications and games will eventually be utilizing more cores and threads better, we see that a bit more for BF4. That's where AMD 8350 strengths are I think. Intel raw proc speed dominates no question.

**Hint** i am asking you to get it lol

In my opinon the highest end 9350 CPU or something from AMD is just an overclocked 8350 with too much power consumption. Rain might disagree with me but lol

I was going to go with nvidia gtx 770 acx cooling but some OCed AMD r9 280x perform slightly better than that. I am not going to persuade you to go for an AMD card lol

fuck! LAN parties are fun as fuck! I have like a 30 port switch I can bring if we ever decide to set something up! I would totally go anywhere in North America for them shits!
 
so i am screwed for bf4 launch day, I won't have my card by then, in fact I can't buy it from the popular sites at the moment.

The only thing I could probably do is put my guy in servers and run around because my 5770 won't be able to run it well at all and my old phenom X4 sucks big time reaching 80+ CPU usage.

yep I love my sam 840 pro its very fast and my h100i is keeping my system cool around 52 degrees celsius overclocked while in game , 39-42 out of game .

Get a CPU cooler XfastX you will love it. great build you have cant wait for the pics
 
much of my recuperation is done and I never got my GPU. So I am stepping outside first time in 2 weeks to finally get this bloody thing.

After thinking about this for over a month. I am going with the gigabyte windforce 4 GB 770 GTX. Much better pricing compared to EVGA 4 GB and the factory OC is better. I would think the 4 GB is slightly more future proof.
I wanted sapphire 280x toxic but heat issues, power consumption, noisy and my bad experience with AMD drivers led me the other way. Not sure how well mantle will play out but oh well.
