Post here your build

My firs built just finished and so far all works good. NZXT 820 full tower case, Asus rog strix X99 DDR4 gaming motherboard, Gigabyte 1070 windforce GTX 8G VGA card,Intel i7-6800k 3.4GHz 6 core CPU, Corsair vengeance 2X8G DDR4 RAM, Corsair H110iliquid cpu cooler, windows 10 64bit, corsair 850 watt power supply. Let us know what you think and would you change anything.

 

Congrats on the first build

Only thing I would have changed is gone for a z270 and 7700k mobo and CPU and sink the left over money into a gtx1080 graphics card

What monitor are you using and what case is it all in

Fairly customary to put pics up

 

Monitor is 32' Samsung , nothing special but I'm looking to get something with 4k and case is one of the biggest on the market witch helps with cable management and also comes with fans and lots of other extras

First dibs on that sweet 7700K when you do.....

 

Rotate the first pic before posting......don't hurt others necks.

P.s. Red on white theme comes across as taking a virginity - IMHO it is such a shock contrast 'clean white to blood red'.....

 

Not a fan of white cases, but it doesn't look bad at all..

 

It looks like a stunning build - pics are confusing at best.

 

your case isn't even considered "big" till it can't physically fit under your desk

i7 5960x
Msi pro carbon
2x Titan X (pascal)
16gig 3144ram
500 gig ssd
1tb ssd
1.5tb HDD
water cooling every where
custom little devil v8 case

 

To Bold Eagle. Sorry about your neck but I have changed those photos and I hope you don't have to take any meds. It is my first build so I did best I could. Theme 'clean white to blood red' it's experiment, NZXT cases come with built in LED lights and colour settings so what colour theme would you recommend for white case?

 

He is having a dig at ya..

Colour and style is all personal preference. Don't ask other people what looks good, decide what looks good to YOU. That's the only thing that matters.

Mine is a black case with green led lighting and red led GPU. I've offset that with white fans, white leds in my Raystorm Pro cpu block, and used white coolant with clear tubing and black chrome fittings. Its all adjustable too, I just like that combo.

If I were to offer any colour advice it would be to just choose and use.. nothing worse than constantly changing colour or distracting lighting effects.. for me, of course, you may think the exact opposite.



I think my case is half the height and length of yours, and not quite as wide. I like em' small and tight Link in my sig has specs.

 

Thanks - but don't make it personal - why do 'such an awesome job' on your build and then post pics that aren't horizontal? Simple isn't it!

I do take meds for chronic back pain (rarely).......I can still post a pic on the correct horizon- it ain't hard!

White and dark purple would be interesting but you have done an awesome job!

 

At the moment I like it as it is but in the future with more time and money I'll go for something more powerful. Thanks for your comments and photos and Your rigs look awesome .

 

My Ryzen rig.

I GOT THIS SIC am3 thing
the watercooler i stole from some kids pc
only 1 fan works but that saves power
the yellow cord, unsure what thats for?
the green pencil thing strapped to my hand, thats the start button
im looking at upgrading, any ideas?

 

I think the long yellow cord is some kind of auxiliary power connection, looks like its leading from a sata port.
Zip tie an industrial Noctua fan to the Northbridge? Pencil could be a bit longer too, size really does matter no matter what they say

 

Needs MOAR^® air bubbles.
