Another New Build by Fuzzykins

[Fuzzykins]

I don't need RAM or an HDD.

This will be my next build. I'll be ninjaing some corsair memory, TBA, and I have an extra HDD laying around.
I'll be tossing my old GPU into it. (450)
Building it to have uber epic build log pictures and video, since I usually don't do that.
Any concerns, questions, or comments? Trying to keep it around $600. (607.95 MIR)
(Almost $92 in savings through MIR and combos. Impressed.)

Looking forward to some new pics!

May do some instructional on how to properly "___________", as well.

If it wasn't a combo deal id say go with asus or evga for the motherboard, not that MSi is bad, their boards are just plain ugly imo

good choice on case

and i would also say get watercooling, but i watercool everything

[Hanto]

Looks good! Smexy case.
I gotta admit though, before enlarging the image to see everything you have planned... this caught my eye first: http://imgur.com/gallery/T2dVC

Apple products: always teasing us from the start, but still no flash.

i about spilled my drink after reading that

my proposed build has the same pieces with some gskill ripjaw or mushkin ram and a 570/6950/70 and would love an insructional how to, look forward to seeing it.

[Fuzzykins]

Cool. I'd love to water cool, but that's vastly out of the amount of money I'd like to spend on a PC I won't use frequently.

[Djinni]

I'd like to see the installation video using that case :P.
See how easily everything fits in.

1 hour to install the cooler, few mins to plug everything else in.

1 hour to install the cooler, few mins to plug everything else in.

Building the cooler while the motherboard is yet to be inserted is a good advice.
I did not. It. Was. Pain.

I don't like the CX500.

[BicycleMafioso]

I don't like the CX500.

Neither do I, actually. While it IS a combo, I'd rather have something like, the XFX Pro or the Seasonic X-series 460w Fanless.

[Asera]

I'm not sure how much better the G45 is to the G43... but the G43 sucks and I am replacing mine with a Z68 board soon.

[Chocobar]

I'd get a Hyper 212+ to save money since 2500K don't really get hot. Mine is idling at 28C or so. I'd also get a cheaper case to save some more money. Just my opinion :P

[Sephiracle]

I'm not sure I see a point in purchasing a Noctua if you're trying to stay on a budget, I have a hyper 212+ and with just the stock fan I'm pretty happy with the temps I'm getting. I'm sure if I spent a little more on some better fans for push/pull it'd drop it further.

I'll make it look easy. x3

Pff, installed the NH-D14 a few times now. I'm a pro. /flex

The 600T is very roomy for a mid atx. I'm confident I can build it within the case. That being said, I'll be working outside of the case anyway.

I don't like the CX500.

I understand your prejudices, but that's a damn good deal. .-.

You can pay for them if you want. ^.^

I haven't found the G43 too awful for what I want out of the computer. It's not a gaming rig, but it wants to be. x3

NH-D14 or DIEEEEE!

Because I don't particularly need anything else?

[Sephiracle]

The same could be said for using the Hyper 212+ instead of the Noctua though. Although, I just checked the price of it on newegg...yuck. When I got mine it was 20 bucks with some coupon. 50 now? Wow.

You definitely don't need a D14 on a shit MSI board that will struggle to get a 2500K past 4.4. Mine's barely stable at 4.6, mainly due to lack of settings to tweak. =/

*Can tweak settings*

However...



I can settle with an mATX board.
