New build

[ajf]

New stuff arrived today.
For those who saw my otehr posts I decided on my original options for everything.
No obvious problems so far. All went in well. Memory slightly hinders CPU fan but not much.
Not overclocked it yet and need to get used to the new style of BIOS too!
Hopefully cabling is neat? Case is bigger than last one and has decent management slots too so didn't find it too bad.
So we have:
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge)
Samsung 256GB SSD 830
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti-448 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gbs 64MB Cache
NZXT Phantom 410 Enthusiast Midi Tower Case - BlackOrange
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650M High Performance 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply
GeIL EVO Veloce Hot-Rod Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-14900C10 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit
Prolimatech Black Megahalems CPU Cooler
Xilence 2 Component Fan PWM - 120mm

Seriously,just how much better is this machine than your last ? I t does look impressive mind.

 

[ajf]

Noticeably so to be honest.
Last machine was a Core 2 Duo based machine.
I've also added an SSD which helps.
The 16Gb memory is mainly as I want to run VMs on it, which was something I found the last machine struggled with at times.
