Hello

This is my first post so tell me if there is anything you'd like to see in future posts.

Now with that out of the way I'm building my first high end gaming PC in the near future the parts are ordered and on there way just a waiting game.

Here are my parts

Case:NZXT Phantom 820 (Black)
CPU:AMD FX9590 Black edition
Motherboard:Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
GPU:Asus 780ti in SLI with another Asus 780ti
RAM:Avexir Core 16GB
PSU:Cooler Master V1000
CPU Fan:Corsair H100I
Extra Fans:Noctua 140mm for now
SSD:Crucial 240GB
HDD:2TB WD Drive
Drive Bay 1:LG Reader/Writer
Drive Bay 2:NZXT Sentry 3

That's it tell me what you think updates should be coming in fast in the next couple of days

Thanks for reading BM
 
I got the case today. Rather annoyed with amazon ATM because of them misplacing £410 of stuff including motherboard,SSD,Radiator and my OS so after receiving a snuggle buddy I soon realised it wasn't my parcel :( so more waiting for the build oh well more fun when I get to build it also there will be no picture updates after July 16 as I'm going on holiday sorry about that but just to let you guys know many thanks BM
 
I know the CPU runs hot it's why I've got the h100i and a massive case should help with the cooling I plan to update to the kraken x61 when it comes out but for now the h100i which should keep it cool enough also the case is full of fans for cooling the SLI 780‘s. And believe it or not the build was meant to be a £1000-1500 build and it spiralled out of control and well it's now what it is but I also kept the CPU because 5ghz it's enough to be awesome for a lot of games and I plan to upgrade to intel at some point just not yet many thanks BM

Sorry acme that wasn't a reply to you I plan to upgrade when the 5000 series of Intel come out whenever that is also I like amd my friend runs amd and his computer runs fine even on high end games I've run intel before and I kinda wanna see what AMD does and I'm making sure it's cool as ice (not literally) many thanks BM
 
To answer the first question it supports the 9590 I checked and to answer the second question I'm sorry I can't change it's to late I'm sorry I'd rather this thread not be about AMD vs intel because fan boy vs fan boy never turns out well and no one wins many thanks BM
 
Thanks walder I got my GPU's today and my fan controller and thermal paste and my HDD so nearly ready to start but still damn you amazon logistics many thanks BM
 
Information update the build now has an unplanned colour theme yellow,black and red. Black is the main colour Red is secondary and last there is a splash of yellow for good measure so it's a pleasant surprise what do you guys think about the colour scheme many thanks BM
 
Again another small update got the motherboard ssd h100i and windows 8.1 today so I'm very pleased about that only waiting for CPU PSU and the RAM so if all goes well pictures could be up by tomorrow many thanks BM p?so how do I upload pictures
 
Sadly guys it looks like pics will have to wait going on holiday on Wednesday and am missing the ram and psu so if no pics are uploaded today sorry about it but the will be uploaded in three weeks when I'm back many thanks BM
 
Nope sorry to disappoint I don't really know why I named it BlackMamba it just suits the idea. I was by Newcastle on the way here and was thinking of dropping by overclockers shop sadly I was in the wrong end and it's nice here this is my first time back in five years so it's a bit of a change many thanks BM
