Tuna Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Good choice on components, that's a good setup. I want to get some of that HyperX Fury ram. Thinking of getting the red sticks. What color scheme are you going with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Onime Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I might get blue ones since the mother board is blue as well but quite frankly, I don,t really care for the color as I won't even see the insides. Yes the case I'm getting has a window but it will be facing my wall. That and my GFX card is red so meh. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 As long as it works right! lol ...my window faces the wall too but I do have a red glow out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Onime Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yeah and other point, it's going to be hidden under my desk anyways, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faperture Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Very nice! I want to upgrade to the 4770k and Z87 motherboard soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Onime Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 One thing I forgot to add is that this setup should come around the 1.2k$ price tag. I didn't include an HDD in the list as I bought a 2TB HDD 2 months ago.Might get new monitors as well but we'll see for that once it's built.

Kevnvek Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 That looks like a pretty good build but my only recommendation would be to add an SSD. The size will determine what you do with it, if you get one under about 100GB I wouldn't recommend installing your operating system to it and only using it for games.Personally I opted for a 250GB SSD (with addition 1TB HDD) so I could install Windows to it and most of the games I actively play at any moment (most games really don't need the additional speed but it's great for big games like MMOs or RPGs, with the faster load speeds).

Oh it's something I plan on getting eventually but it's most possibly going to be an upgrade down the road.Right now I'm mostly focusing on getting a working setup. I just placed an order for the hyperX ram and now all that is missing is the processor..................................... to be bought with the next paycheck in 2 weeks.

Kira Onime Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Looks like you are almost there on an awesome build! Hope you enjoy building and using it. Almost.I'm waiting for my bank to clear a payment to be able to order the ram and be left with only the processor to buy. And building it is a pleasure. Feels so much better than this 8 year old dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well, when you get done with that build, the core components should last you several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dateranoth Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Lol. Processor will be plug and play as well other than the heat sink. New format is always the best bet with all new hardware. Less build and more play then! Even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Aww, that sucks... Did you figure out if it was a faulty mobo? Try mocking up all the components and give it a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
