My first fully self built pc :)

[ncncore]

Well I have finally done it completely by myself from start to finish

Parts on arrival-

I have skipped a fair chunk of the afternoon haha. Finished article-

Wasn't too difficult and I am yet to update anything but I am happy so far. Also the back panel area is disgraceful! To the point where I actually can't get the back panel on so tomorrow's task is tidying.

The only real trouble was fitting the phanteks cooler it was a bit fiddly and probably took the most time but other than that it all went well.

I have moved a pc from one case to another but this is the time I have gone from scratch, it was pretty enjoyable actually.

I5 3570k, the misses bought me it as an early Bday pressie before I got chance to change my mind for an i7 which was a bit of a pain but I'm not too bothered!

 

[ncncore]

Yeah the case is ridiculous really, Hopefully will keep things nice and cool have a bit of breathing space haha! In all fairness I just genuinely hadn't even contemplated how big it was going to be!

 

[ncncore]

Hopefully it will. just updated everything and now off to bed, need to d/l bf3 again which takes forever then I'm good to go!

Also need to start reading up on ocing as I haven't a clue.

Just discovered a stuck pixel though which is annoying! Hadn't really noticed until this morning so looks like an rma will be required Oh well at least everything else is doing really good!

 

[ncncore]

Cheers I really like the look actually it took a while to finally decide on it though

Just been playing BF3 and I'm hitting an average of 130FPS on full Ultra so I am dead happy with that

I am loving gaming on a pc again it has been far too long!

I think my next purchase will be a white or red LED strip and a few more fans for good measure!

Nice build

I don't think your picture of the inside does it any justice, though. Try taking a few without the flash on perhaps.

I was just using my iphone and was too pleased/excited with having it up and running pretty quickly, I will get some better pics tonight.

Also I managed to correct the rear wiring nightmare and got it sorted so that now the rear panel fits

 

[ncncore]

Ok so tried to get a few more closer pics for you

Also I had to get a new monitor as the BenQ had an awful bright green stuck pixel right near the center of the screen so I decided to go a little bit bigger with an Asus VG278HE 144Hz 27" monitor. I love it except it is slightly on the large side for me for normal use but looks great in game.

Yeah I must admit they do have a very nice quality feel to them, in fact he whole PSU looks and feels quality.

I just need to get more fans and some red LED's to add some light to it.
