Finishing off Gaming Build

[marcus2704]

Below is my PC build taken a week or so ago.



Since it was taken, I have replaced the Windforce with a Palit 980TI card.

I was hoping to get advise on the below three questions -

1) How can I tidy up the GPU 6+8 pin cables, I would also prefer if these were white?

2) I would like to change the SSD to a white one, the only white SSD I can find is by Hynix - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-013-SH - are these decent SSD?

3) Can anyone recommend good usage of white LED(s) I could incorporate into my build?

Just really trying to go the extra mile with my first 'serious' build, if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can improve it I would be grateful

Thanks

1) Buy extension kits - lots available here. Then you could route them straight down using either cable combs or velcro straps to make them look better.

2) Yes, good drives. Built a white / blue themed PC using your case and chose the 500gb version of that drive.

3) I also used white leds. I bought a 20cm strip (can be found in the link I entered above) and placed it on the bottom shining up into the case. Lit up everything beautifully.

Do you mean a kit such as this - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CM-060-CM - I must admit I was hoping not to spend that much on the cabling

Do you have a photo of your build, Im interested to see what you did with it.

That is a full replacement set of cables. You only need extension cables.

Bitfenix do the Alchemy ones. You can also buy the main cables as a bundle:

Silverstone do bundles which includes the 24 pin ATX and 8 pin cpu. You can then add pci-e cables from the drop down box to suit:

Thanks, I am going to order the Silverstone set with 1 x 6PIN and 1 x 8PIN PCIe cables for my 980TI.
