Spec me....(sorry!)

[DiCe!]

Hi guys I'm PC is getting on a bit at 5 years and while I love it, it sounds like a hurricane!

Looking at a Parvum systems case and to use my GTX460 for the time being.

I would need a power supply, a M-ATX mobo, CPU, RAM and some fans/CPU cooler.

If I was to spread the cost over a few months that would be great but not esential, lets have a price of between 6-800 and see what we come up with, ideally I would like it to last me quite some time and for it to be QUIET as well as powerful enough.

Any/all ideas welcome.

DiCe!

No SSD, HDD or external optical drive required?

Ok had a quick go at this swap in which ever case colour combo you want as the memory also comes in various colours to match, also added in SSD.

[DiCe!]

Would I really need 750w? Im running 1000w at the moment, one of the first ones that came out and everyone says I am mad!

 

[stulid]

Dpends what you stick in it? you do say "use the GTX460 for the moment"

 

[DiCe!]

Interesting gold theme there, not quite for me but I will pick up a few bits

My go... Green and white... could I argue that a green theme is going to be quite common in this thread because unless you want to over spend on the asus mATX then the next best mATX mobo is the green gigabyte

Hi guys I'm PC is getting on a bit at 5 years and while I love it, it sounds like a hurricane!

If noise is the problem, a quiet case, fans, PSU, and CPU cooler might be enough. All of which you could recycle into your next full build.

It is annoying there does not seem to be a Orange and black M-ATX as that is the colour I would go if I could. My room is orange and black and would look really great with it, not afraid to go with the green though, I do like those bright colours.

If noise is the problem, a quiet case, fans, PSU, and CPU cooler might be enough. All of which you could recycle into your next full build.

I did think this, but I would like to save some space and my mobo at the moment is ATX, also I really like the look of the Parvum cases....

Not that my case at the moment is bad at all, I could probably get a new PSU and replace some fans and make it last another year.... Saving money is boring.

 

[The Only Beardy]

It'd be nice if mobo designers started offering multiple colours of the same board, i mean at the end of the day they must use the same PCIe and RAM connectors on the sniper and the force... just different colours... why not make an orange sniper or a green force... then we'd just have to persuade OC to stock all the varients

 

[DiCe!]

If not Orange I would probably go with Black with white highlights but I agree, it is just a small change in colour, until I started looking I didnt know gold was back in.....bit to blingy for my liking

Those Noiseblockers are very good for 80mm fans.

[The Only Beardy]

with the black and white spec you can get a 4770k instead of the 4670k for £840 inc P&P

 

[Fulax]

^^^At 200mm long I think that Leadex PSU will take up too much space.
