The new PC is FINALLY DONE!!!
|

So this is my latest build. Its been three long years since I've built a personal and I was overdue. The case is an NZXT Phantom 630. I prefer full size cases, but they are a pain to move around. I dropped in an ASRock Z97x Mobo and an i5 4690K processor. 16GB of Corsair Vengance RAM, with 16 more on the way. Graphics are provided from 2 EVGA GTX 970 Superclocks running in SLI. Storage comes in the form of 4 Crucial 256GB SSDs. 1 for the OS, 1 for music, 1 for videos and one for games. I plan to add two WD Black 4TB drives in Raid1 for mass storage. Lastly, power comes from an EVGA 750 G2, which is fully modular. I dressed it up a touch with a fully sleeved cable set and Corsair fans all around. Also, the CPU is cooled by an Enermax 120 cooler, with Artic silver 5 thermal compound. I did a small bump on the processor to 4.0Ghz, just to see what it would do. In the end I'll step it up to 4.5, but probably not beyond that. For now the processor is staying at 48c when stress testing the processor. Running 3DMark for dual GPU systems, I'm scoring 98% higher than other systems. So all in all, I think it turned out great. Still some minor tweaks to do to it though. It all just takes time. Let me know what ya think.
