My first PC Build

[Knottwobad]

This is the PC I recently put together. I have to say this rig rocks and I will probably never buy another Dell or other pre-built PC again. Building your own PC rocks.

Processor:http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354588

2 of these to increase airflow for the video card and processor so the case now has 8 fans.

I was getting like 5 to 15 FPS in World of Tanks with my old Dell and now I am getting 45 to 100 FPS. I am sure I could mess around and get better FPS but this was such an upgrade that I happy with it as it is now.

Congrats Knot! Building your own is so much better than buying prebuilt bc you get to put in it exactly what you want.

[JustMeBF2]

Yeah the parts list looks good but






:worthless:

[Knottwobad]

I will post pics when I get home from work.

[Knottwobad]

Here it is.

[Drayu]

she's a beaut.

[Crotch-Rot]

very cool Knot!

[antigen]

Your next step: buy an SSD and put your OS on it.

Nice build!

[LordBeer]

Very nice Knott. Congrats on your first build! :woot:

[JustMeBF2]

Very nice.
I see you didn't take off the side cover.

That's good tho since it is probably so sexy
you would have had to put it in the adult forums.

[Vitiator]

That's a good looking case.

:( I am still using the first case I bought 12 years ago.

Sorry man, I said it's my first build I didn't know the protocol. :bow::roll2:

[Shadowryche]

Is it just me, or is the branding on the graphics card illuminated?

[Knottwobad]

The flash from the camera just made it look like it is, it is not illuminated.

I was just making a funny about the side cover.
But now there is a chance someone will comment on
your wiring management.

:minigun:

[papasan9]

F wiring management. Not important when main cooling system is a 20" box fan blowing in the side.

I've known a few people to do exactly that with their overheating computers. Take off the side and put a 20x20 size A/C filter between the fan and the case and boom you have a poor man's cooler. It's noisy sure but it works in a pinch.

Very nice build Knott!! Congrats on your first born

[EANeuspeed]

She's alive!!!! Nice work man. Enjoy it!!!!!

[SnaKe]

I had to use a box fan to cool my last PC bc of a flaw with the video card and insufficient cooling.

Nice job Knot!
