That is one nice looking rig and a wicked spec for a gaming rig.

Respect for building it yourself.

Cheers , yh i was just bricking it a bit when building it as it was my first time but all turned out good and no problems so far

I was nervous when i built my own too.

In hindsight it was easy though, wasnt it?

Dean037 · 30 Nov 2011 at 10:05

very nice , love the case, i am in same boat i am about to overclock aswel

BlueLipBill · 30 Nov 2011 at 10:17

Yh, i had watched my dad build one before so I kind of new what I was doing but was still bricking it mostly putting the cpu in haha. but after I had the mobo in and the cpu cooler on it was a breeze. And yh i still have to overclock just never done it before so im a bit weary.
