(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I've been wanting to build a gaming PC for about a year and a half now. It started once I realized that the current gen consoles were reaching their limit. Once I've started to learn more and more about the PC side, I fell in love. I originally was trying to get an Alienware X51 (horrible mistake), but I found out building it was my best bet. Here are the parts list. *NOTE: It took me a while to get the money for these components so the time between the mobo and CPU being bought was quite distant. I bought this mobo wayy before I bought the CPU so that's why i'm on Ivy-Bridge, not Haswell.

Case - CoolerMaster Haf X
Motherboard - Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H
PSU - Corsair HX850
CPU - Intel i7-3770k @3.5GHz
GPU - Nvidia Geforce GTX 780
Cooler - Corsair Hydro H100i
RAM - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance
HDD - WD 1TB Black

Here are some pictures: Went for performance, not beauty! Don't judge my cable management pl0x.

Let me know what you think!

Pictures? how did you mount a h100 without 120mm mounts

Would really love a picture of this, The hardware seems to be good. How much did this end up costing?

Added pictures

@Toke, there are screw holes up top, underneath the grills, for 120mm fans to fit.

@Geofry, A little over $1600

Looks beautiful, welcome to the real world of gaming

Nice work!

Not bad, need to give me that 780. :p

Thanks, I'm incredibly glad to be here!



Thanks!




Yeah haha, let me get $650 and you got it. (It was $650 when I got it)
