New PC

[deadbeta]

Just finished building my new PC.

Have spent the last few weeks viewing different threads and came up with a PC within my budget.

Bought;
AMD FX 6300
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
ASUS R7 260x OC 2GB
2 x 4GB Team 1866
Cooler Master G650M Semi Modular PSU
BitFenix Merc Alpha

All for £500, got it from a local PC Shop, couldn't wait for delivery, I'm impatient!

Along with some other little things like W7, Wireless k/b & Mouse, Powerline Adapters (Which I LOVE, getting FULL 40MB download 3 floors up from the Router!)

Just thought I'd say Hi.

See photo for the first build, don't think my cable management is too bad for a first go!

I take on board what you're saying, however the 4 pin cannot go behind, there's no room for it and no upper cut out for it to poke through so this is my only option.

The case is a BitFenix Merc Alpha, it only came with 1 exhaust for the rear, I will invest in a couple of intakes soon and a new CPU Cooler/paste, I was just impatient to get it fired up!

I'll have a look at it when I get some new fans installed later in the week.

So far the system hasn't given me too many headaches, one or two freezes (wrong memory speeds on BIOS etc) and a BSoD.

Now the obsession comes with wanting it quieter! Haha.
