My first video on YouTube.
Just finished my build this week.
Waiting for more cable sleeves.

OO, Very nice :)

That looks like the HAF 922? That case is amazing. I would personally change out those 120's for one single 200, it would be a lot quieter.


lol, just like me, shoved all the cables in the HDD bays.

True, I will eventually get a central switch where I can put all the power cables to.
That way things will start looking at lot more cleaner.

Also the dual fans might be louder, but they work really good.

You can try routing the cables on the other side of the mobo tray, I did that and it works very well. Kind of hard to actually make any changes, but once there in there it looks good.

Specs?

Just doing a build myself, but not to that level. Mine is more of an intermediate as it's mostly going to be for work and a bit of gaming.

What are you looking for? Laptop or a desktop?

I have the same case and I love it. Really the only pain is cleaning the filter on the front fan.

Desktop. Already have most of the parts. Just need a bigger PSU and trying to choose a video card.

Core 2 quad Q6600, 8GB DDR3, ASUS P5G41T-M LX Plus mATX, Coolmaster elite case, Western Digital Velociraptor WD3000HLHX 300GB SATA3 6GB/S 10000RPM 32MB 3.5IN Internal. Nothing too exceptional, but I'm going for a budget build. Like I said, this is mostly for working from home for me, but I'd like it to be able to play MW3, BF3, DOD:S, etc. I'm going to be rocking 2 screens for sure, if not 3 if I can find a desk with enough room. At work I am rocking almost identical machine, except it just has some workstation vid card, core 2 extreme and SSD's. Working on two 26" monitors is so much nicer. Multitasking is the way to go!

Are you an ATI or Nividia guy, or does it matter?


I would personally recommend Corsair, they make very solid PSU's

I am nvidia now. Too many issues to consider anything except nvidia. I need a vid card that will run on a 600w psu.

Hm, ok.

MW3 and DOD:S will be nothing for any card, but BF3 will be the issue. What is your budget for the GPU alone?

This should do you well;

However that is somewhat high for a "budget build".

My budget is 400-500 for GPU and PSU. I'm in Canada, not US though.

I use mostly ncix.com and cdw.ca for orders, as I get 10% off everything from both through work :lol: .

This is what I was actually looking at. For PSU, doesn't matter to me all that much. As long as I have enough power for everything. I also get some monitors, so need to make sure I'm in the $400-500 range for GPU and PSU.

That 560 would do well. It would be good for gaming and multi-tasking.

Then the Corsair TX750 should be a good match, aswell
