[Thee Awbade™]

For those who wanted to see the pictures etc. 

 

Here's the build itself:

And here's the Specs: 

i7 4790K Unlocked Quad Core Processor

16Gb DDR3 Patriot RAM.

250GB Solid State HDD

1TB Seagate HDD

4GB GTX970 Video Card

 

And here's the pictures I took yesterday when I got it all together. So far all I've got is the Power Supply in and the motherboard mounted with RAM and Processor, so nothing too juicy. Got a buddy coming today after work to help me do the wiring etc so I'll have better pictures after that =]

 

Money Shot of everything:

 

 

Close-Up of Processor; Motherboard; Fan Controller:

 

Close-Up of Video Card:

 

Cat while I was trying to take a picture.

 

 

And of course, the ever important thermal paste.

I always loved building my own computers. You get everything you want and nothing you don't.

Not to mention you save so much $$$

With the unlocked CPU I presume you're going to OC it?  Let us know how it goes, and give us a benchmark report!

Yeah I plan on it!

 

Still need to buy a better CPU Cooler (The CPU Itself came with a regular heatsink fan, I want to get a radiated closed system like the Corsair H80) 

 

Then I'll OC it. Probably a couple weeks out for money reasons, didn't want to wait since I had a basic heatsink fan already. 

[Thee Awbade™]

It lives!

 

Doing some early after-noon wiring planning.

 

 

 

 

After that we realized just how big the GTX 970 Really is....

 

 

Gonna have to re-think the wiring to fit this monster in there.

 

 

Oh well, we got her in! Got the wiring all done and booted her up!

 

 

some wiring harnesses to clean up and some new peripherals I need to buy, but she runs and she looks pretty!

(Those SSD's btw.....I'm amazed. I can re-boot in 11.5 seconds, took me all of 9 minutes to install windows 7 from a USB drive.)

 

 

Up next will be getting a new CPU cooler and then OC'ing to see our performance! Still installing programs/drivers/updates right now.

That case and keyboard take me back to my 1st build about 7 or 8 years ago. I had the exact same case and kb and loved em.

Now I have the behemoth Corsair Obsidian 800D case (for ventilation) and just got the Corsair K70 mechanical kb.

 

Now I want to build another gaming rig.. damn you.

Looks Good Awbade how is the noise level with the fans ??

Actually a little louder than I expected.

 

I plan on re-wiring the case this weekend. I'm not too happy with my initial wiring job, and I have a wire somewhere that's clipping a fan and the noise it makes is...Annoying to say the least. 

 

At least I opened up League of Legends with ultra settings and managed to get 120FPS. 

 

And I haven't even started OCing yet >=D

[Rocketmachinist]

League Of Legends, but your not even Korean

Is it wrong that this turns me on a little?

It would be wrong if it didn't 

[Jayson Kramer]

what is the fan controller you have there and who makes it.

[Jayson Kramer]

Never mind found it and ordered one. this will be nice to control all 5 of my 120 mm fans in my box.

Yeah, I'm a very big fan of it. 

 

Wiring it is a complete nightmare however. Just an FYI! But it works great and I really enjoy being able to control my case temp

Went out and bought 2 Lenovo 21.5" Monitors. (Originally bought one, but my other monitor was 23" And the size difference was bugging me.

They have extremely deep colors which I'm absolutely in love with. 

 

anyways; here's the full set-up now. Just going to buy a new Keyboard next paycheck and a new sound system eventually. Outside of that I'm good for the next few years. 

 

This is the keyboard I have on order.

The Keyboard is pretty old and I don't like having the digital switches. I'd much prefer the Mechanical Switches of the Razer Blackwidow. I'm going to pick up this one http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-blackwidow-chroma

 

 

For headsets, I'm using the Sony PS4 Wireless Gold Headset right now, Hoping to upgrade to something better down the road just don't know what yet. 

[Thee Awbade™]

Oh, here's the kitty and I in our natural habitat.

 

[Jayson Kramer]

the son with the flight controller has those headsets to for his PS4 and Vita.

Love the picture. we have two cats and they tend to hang with the boys while they play to. I know some time when I try and program one of our cats try's to sit right in front of my monitor while work. you have to love them.

 

Here is my Sunday messy desk. trying to get some programing done for a customer for this week.

I hear solidworks isn't as pretty with a gamer card.
