Built my new PC

Hello,

3-4 weeks ago I built my new PC -

Corsair 650D
Corsair GS800 Watt PSU
Gigabyte P67 UD4
Intel i5 2500K
Corsair H70
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
2 x Gigabyte 560 Ti SOC
64GB Crucial M4
1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
Asus Xonar DG
4 x White Cathodes

Few pics here:

Have to say I am really chuffed, no problems at all so far and it looks great. Am annoyed by how much dust it attracts tho but hey ho.

Nice tidy looking setup. The 650D will be on my shortlist for my next case.

Shouldn't the PSU have the fan face down drawing in cool air from underneath on the 650d?

The intake is filtered so no issues there.

Looks good though overall, lovely looking case!

Looks great bud.

a question: why did you opt to buy a second 560?
What resolution do you play at?

icehot · 30 May 2011 at 19:57

@ VaderDSL - No idea mate, in hindsight with how the power cables leave the PSU that would make sense.

@Predicament - I play at 1920x1080. 1 560 is ok for this, so why did I buy a second? Without sounding like a douche, I did it just because I could and I've always wanted an SLI setup. There was no compelling reason to do so, just because I could. Sorry that's not very helpful

And thanks all, spent a lot of time making sure the cabling was as good as I could get it.

Yeah, you've done a brilliant job on the cable management side!

what are the green LED's on the back of the graphics card?

That is one sexy looking case m8 I think it might have to be my next one when I do another build but that will years probably

I can't justify spending that amount of cash on the case atm the other half would kill me lmao!

Awesome build m8

Those are phase power lights, they light up according to the amount of power being used IIRC, but you need to install the software to manage them
