Never did go with my last build, but now I am building this one.

Case: Corsair Obsidian 350D
bb051ab4e85ba982a294840b722914b5.jpg
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k
Motherboard: Asus Z87-M-Plus
RAM: Crucial 16GB Ballistix Tactical

7950 GPU, PSU, SSD, watercooling ect will old come from my old build. Plus I'm adding old parts into a spare case and selling it, so this isn't me much at all. Moving to Intel for better video rendering and general performance increase.
Will post picture next weekend when it is built.

Cool thread. I have a couple of older spare cases (one is an alienware). I wonder if I could fit anything new in them? Of course, that would mean I would need money for parts but TBTP

Here's my new build yet again.



That's a crappy photo, see better pictures by searching for Aerocool DS or click this Amazon link.
Motherboard - Asus Maximus VI Gene
CPU - Intel Core i7 4770k @4.5GHz
Cooling - Corsair H100i AIO 240mm + 4 Sharkoon Silent Eagle 120mm fans

7950 GPU, PSU, 16gb RAM all come from my old build.
Will put a custom water loop inside and some Bitfenix Alchemy lighting strips and then I'm done with upgrading for a while.
This machine is an absolute monster.

Yea, my favourite so far. I was gonna go for a Bitfenix Prodigy M but I don't like vertically mounted motherboards.

Never even seen a vertical motherboard before. Sounds really inconvenient.

Spent around 700$ on a store bought HP Pavilion desktop a couple months back. It runs smoothly but it's just not that good for games.
So,I'm currently looking to build a custom gaming PC around 700-800$,any suggestions in my price range?

Edit: I might just wait till February so I can have a better budget to work with.

Easier access to most things, and no strain from gpu. It's awesome.
