Update on build.

[steven2805]

Hey folks, so my first actual build

I did a Pentium 4 a couple of years ago but that doesn't count as I stripped it down and rebuilt it for practice..


After research for over a year I eventually got around to starting my build/completing. There were some up and some downs but overall the computer runs and does what I want it to so a success in my eyes.

computer specs :

i5 2500k 3.3Ghz (Overclocked to 4.2 at the moment)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2
Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic Edition 1GB
Cooler master Silent Pro 850W Modular PSU
Cooler Master HAF X
Crucial 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz Ballistix Memory Kit
Asus P8P67 Pro R3 P67
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB
Crucial 64GB Real SSD C300

Extras:
CM Storm Inferno Wired Gaming Mouse
Logitech G510
Ozone Gaming Gear Ground Level XT
Samsung P2450H

Ok so once I got all the important part I built the computer only to have it not boot because of a faulty motherboard .
After getting a replacement the second build went great and I had all the parts by this point.

Ok you probably notice the modified Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 with the additional fan on top, well the cooler was the one thing I probably should have bought smarter. But because already had it I placed a 3000RPM fan on top with the fan stand offs to reduce noise. It runs fine and isn't that noisy, also does a good job of helping drop 5c of the CPU so now am running at 31c on idle


Any recommendations on an upgrade ?

Sorry I couldn't resist, it already looks pretty impressive, unless there's something specific it's not coping with I would say it's good as is.

Oh sorry didn't realise I was still being graded on spelling and grammar... would you preffer Harvard or Oxford referencing in future ?

It looks very nice, mind not sure that sig of yours fits in the rules about size tho

 

[fewfe3]

looks good, how about getting some neons for the case, or something along them lines

Cheers will have a look at the Sig

The case has a red fan at the front and did have 2 blue cold cathode lights mounted on inside but unfortunately one decided to stop working. The other doesn't show up great on the picture because of the cameras flash (which I have no idea how to turn off lol)
