Hi all,
Had my new build for a couple of months now but had an issue with my PSU so had to RMA it, bought a 2nd hand GFX card and was too big for my case etc etc!
Finally got round to putting it together today ;
i5 3570k (K2 Doom cooler)
8GB Samsung Green
GTX 570 (Aftermarket Cooler)
Samsung SSD
Fractal Design Arc Mini
Not really a gamer but the first thing I did was install Tomb Raider and I was really impressed! I wasn't expecting to it look so nice - The graphics were set to Normal so I changed them to High and noticed no performance drop at all but things looked sharper and more detailed! Wasn't expecting a lot from a cheap GFX card but I was impressed!
Arc Mini - Considering it has 2 case fans, 2 fans on my CPU and 2 fans on my GFX cooler it runs really quiet. CPU is idle around 30 and the GFX card around the same. Prime95 pushes the CPU to about 58-60 (Did that mid-day when it was warm) which I was impressed with. The GPU goes to the mid to high 50's so I'm happy with the temperatures overall.
For a mid range system, I'm happy with my current build
Thanks all.
