PC rebuilding

[Sadus]

Hi, I'm new here so if I do any mistake let me know.
I whant to change my PC and make new one.
Any suggestions what would be better ?

Asus P7P55D-E Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard
OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C10 2000MHz Dual Channel
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156)
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6850 1024MB GDDR5
Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 700W Power Supply

I am thinking about Corsair Graphite 600T Midi Tower Case but maby anything smaller with window and where all will be quiet if I need it. Maby "Fan Controllers" if that would be better pls let me know what should I use. If possible I would like to have all fans inside (if window case) in blue. I expect from the new PC power and silent work if listenig to music or going to bed and leave my PC working all night. Maby PS have to short cables to put them behind mobo? Please let me know.

I just built a pc in the 600t case a few weeks ago...what a fantastic case. Loads of room, good cable management, looks great too..

cables look crap in the pics but I've tidied them up


fan controller on the 600t is just fine. I've got my q9550 chip running at 3.8 with a thor hammer cooler and the fan controller keeps the case fans and the cooler fan nice and quiet.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

• What is you total budget for this build?
• What will your pc be used for? Gaming? Work? Video rendering/graphics design? or just plain and simple web/office stuff?
• Anything that could be recycled from you old pc to cut costs?

You have spec'd a rig built around Intel last generation processor (Socket 1156) and you will be better served with going for their new 1155 socket. It's fairly similarly priced but offers substantial boost in performance. Will you be overclocking the CPU?

Case is all personal preference so left in the Corsair 600T for the time being. The Foxconn motherboard allow crossifre at 16x/8x rather than 16x/4x like the similarly priced asus/gigabyte boards, so you could throw in another 6850 later on down the line. (Plus they scale in Crossfire very well together). Changed PSU to the Antec 650W, very good PSUs these are. The CPU/motherboard combo will allow for overclocking but if this is not of interest then think about going for an i5 2400/H67 motherboard combo.

Fan controllers are quite good but also quite fiddly. I have this one attached to 5 fans (2 are via a splitter) and have them all running at about 50% when not benching etc to reduce noise. (few images of it in my sig at the bottom).

My budget is like 750 + monitor (not decided yet).
All I have I will sell and put some extra money and get new parts so nothing will be recycled (only 2x HDD 1TB each for RAID 0 - Western Digital RE3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache) and 320 GB buck up HDD.
About Foxxcom - I'm a bit sceptic to this company because there have been some problem where a part of mobos was buring CPU's.
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 - is there the same problem as in Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler ? I could just get 3 screws in.
The PCU have grafic included ? I will not use it, so is there a big diference between them ?

PC when ready will be used for games, watch movies, make some downaloads over night when I sleep (this is why I need my PC as quiet as possible but not to closed because of high temp. inside).
OC ... I thought about this but maby not on the beggining.
