First build

~bones~ · 1 Dec 2011 at 11:46

So I have been planning to build my first pc for a while now and ordered it over the weekend, saved a few pennies in the black friday sales....

Corsair 650D
i5-2500k
Asrock Fatal1ty Z68
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
Corsair H80
Corsair AX750
GTX 560ti Phantom 2GB
Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD
Spinpoint F3
Samsung SH-B123l Blu-ray drive

So the plan is to build a gaming rig that will also be used to watch movies and stuff so I want it to be pretty quiet for watching the movies so I will be swapping out the stock fans as soon as funds allow.

Will post some pics later today when it all gets delivered

If you rhink the 650D looks nice in photos it doesn't dissapoint in real life, the perfect case IMO if your going for that sleek look...

And the Fatal1ty board looks awesome...

Will hopefully be starting the build this weekend

So managed to get it together over the weekend, had a few problems with the dr.debug A3/A6 but sorted those.... the only problem I have is that when fitting the H80 the screws for the fan won't go iin fully so I had to use some rubber washers to stop it being loose but ill check on the forums if anyone else has had this issue.....

You can see the rubber washers on that one on the fan connected to the radiator...

The samsung blu-ray player looks nice with teh 650d

There isn't loads of room behind the motherboard but there is enought to fit everything and keep the front looking nice and tidy

Thanks..... Ye apart from the problem I had installing it seems great, heard mixed reviews from people using them but myn keeps temps right down, not overclocked yet but its keeping temps below 30 on load

I think the ones that come with it are 3 pin but without looking I can't be certain.... But you can use 3 pin or 4 pin pwm when replacing them as the block can be setup with either

Ye may put something like that in at some point... I'd check the stock ones first as they are performing well on myn at low settings and aew quiet enough
