My new build (OC built)

Dan_P · 6 Mar 2016 at 15:37

Good Afternoon folks,

I thought that it would be worthwhile me completing a short post of my experience with Overclockers and the build they completed for me.

I started off on the website and the forum here discussing my requirements and choosing my main parts (CPU,GPU etc). I gave OC a call and discussed the build with them and made a few changes, mainly for cosmetic reasons and also because the website did not allow me to select some of my options. The order was sent off for completion and I was happy with the service so far. I sent a couple of mails during the build time, to confirm some further info and all was great and a very quick and professional response. My completed build arrived on the day they advised by courier (DPD) and after getting home from a business trip I was quick to unpack and get it running.

The PC arrived extremely securely without expanding foam in a bag within the case to keep everything safe and secure. I would like to thank OC for the great build and support throughout the process. My build specifications are below along with some pictures.

This was my first gaming PC so although I was reluctant to risk anything, I have overclocked the CPU to 4.5ghz stable and a slight OC to my GPU.

Pictures and stats below:

As I am new to the PC gaming scene, I would like to hopefully game with a few of you. I have left my steam ID below

The machine itself:

My desk (Although this has already changed and needs a lot more work to be kitted out completely)

Thanks

Thank you, I have an iMac or iPad Pro which runs my social media/news/Rc next to it. I should complete v2 of my desk in the next week or so, so will update pictures then.

Thank you! I wasn't sure on the case when I bought it and nearly swapped it out, but very pleased with it now.

Thanks, the white and blue theme is working really well in here, need to add some more lighting inside the case now

Can I ask how did you do the desk lighting?

sorry only just seen this message

It was a LED strip from ebay, which I attached to the backside of my desk using double sided tape. This resulted in the light being aimed at the wal,l which gave a nice deflection up and down the wall.

Hope this helps

how much did you spend in total if you don't mind me asking? LOVE that build.

I am torn between this case and the h440....
