Custom PC Builds Thread

[Solidus1]

Alright, I can suggest a few things when you're ready, if you want me to.

That's my case, its the NZXT Phantom 410.

Specs:
1200 Watt PSU (To much power I know)
16GB Corsair Vengence Ram
AsRock Z77 Pro-4 M Motherboard
Intel i5 3570k CPU
LG Bluray DVD Player/Burner
2GB nvidia 660 GTW Graphics Card

I'm pree sure that's everything :3 In total I spent about $900 and got an amazing gaming pc.

Hmm, how much was that build Solidus? Extremely jelly of your CPU, they're 4.0Ghz default right? 4.9Ghz : :mindblown:

 

[Solidus1]

It was £475 at first, but then I added more parts. I'll calculate it later.
Yea, the CPU turbos to 4.3GHz at stock. I'm gonna overclock again this weekend, hopefully to 5.2GHz. Will need to get more fans for that.

Nice build. That is waaaaaay too much power though, you could crossfire 2 GTX Titans under 100% load and still have power to spare.
What cooling you got going on?

Forgot about this, the build is worth about £1100 after the additional ~£600 I spent on it.

I have an old custom built PC for gaming but I hardly use it now. It could still runs some new modern games I believe but don't have time for that.

Had it saved on my notepad still lol. Last game I played was Battlefield 3 on it with medium settings. Went cheap build at that time cuz I was short on cash.

 

[Solidus1]

Quite old, but it'll hang in there for sure. You can get nice overclocks on the X4 955.

 

[Big Hoss Rambler]

Don't know if I'm gonna do that. Have been thinking of doing a new $1-2k build but I don't think I'll be using it too much so it'll be just be sitting there. I mostly just use my laptop nowadays (which was recently purchased).

I've got 6 fans and just the normal CPU cooler that comes with the CPU. I am planning on upgrading to a better cooling system soon though but I'd rather get a better graphics card first.

ITT: PC's I can't afford. God damn you guys.

 

[Jonathan]

£1100? Damn that is rather cheap. If I get this grant I'll probably be buying a custom build, I'll definitely come to you for some advice if that's OK

Of course. Ask any questions here.
Yea, £1100 isn't much, but it does what I need it to do easily. I'd love to have a 3960X and a GTX Titan, but the additional performance won't benefit me at all. I just don't need that much power.

Latest addition: Corsair SP120 Fans, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CO-9050006-WW-Series-Edition-Pressure/dp/B007RESFR2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370200479&sr=8-1
They push air through my radiator really well.
Just found my webcam too, I'll get some pictures.
