Just Finished my New Build
« on: December 28, 2015, 03:02:16 pm »
So yesterday I finished a new PC that I have been wanting to get done since forever.


Partlist:


CPU - I5 6600k
GPU - 980 ti
RAM -G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (This is one thing I am having issue with should be DDR4 2400 but it appears to run at 2133 even according to the bios, maybe a mistake in shipping but the speed of the ram does not really affect me so I am debating wether to call or not)
MOBO - Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
CPU COOLER- Hyper 212 Evo
Storage:
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
WD Blue 1 TB
PSU: 850W EVGA G2
PCIE:
Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
NZXT LED strip
CASE: NZXT H440
MONITOR: BenQ GW2765HT (IPS 1440p 60hz)


So yeah those are the parts and here are some pictures:








And yes I was reading the manuals, there are two times I do that. One is building pcs the other is building Ikea furniture, equally daunting tasks.

Nice.. Not that it matters but we  do have a thread for this: https://evilzone.org/general-discussion/share-your-rig/



Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

Currently I have Windows 10 on it for all of my games, trying to decide if I am going to get some extra storage for a duel boot kinda setup. Maybe a pcie ssd and a 4 tb green or something idk.

Any raid configured on the drive? Also, you should SLI that 980 for the ultimate experience, thats what I got at the moment.

No raid configuration at the moment just using the ssd for the os and key programs and the blue for mass storage. I am used to duel booting on a 500 gb so this storage is fine for now. As to SLI I will definitely go for that in my next upgrade when I have more money. Eventually I plan on upgrading the processor (and maybe a new cooler), adding a new video card, and going for a 4k monitor. That might be a long way down the road though as I just squeaked by under budget for this build. Would love to have two 980 tis.

Probably doesn't matter, but if you want that little extra bit of performance, you should be able to increase the clock speed in the BIOS.

I was going to mention this, a lot of RAM packagers will under clock their RAM to increase longevity, but honestly I'd suggest not over clocking the RAM.

WD has those black performance drives, 6TB for under $300. I'm working to pick at least 1 if not 3 of those puppies up.

I'm thinking about building a Plex headless server to keep in my garage and store my content. Going to be a powerhouse for transcoding video on the fly, run (2*6TB) * 3 RAID (total of 18tb space) and set up auto download things so I just have filters set and it will download download download. Only got 100gb left on my 2tb TV Show HD... So gonna need one of those soon.

Great build, hope you put that pretty thing to good use.

BTW,
Do you think putting together a PC is a daunting task? I see furniture from Ikea and I was I was putting together a computer, its MILES easier, no guide needed.

Reminds me of my early days, i had begged my dad forever for a computer, one day he gave me a few boxes of computer components and told me I could have one if I built it myself. Took me a while and with some help I built my first computer. Then one day I went to upgrade the processor with one of my dad's older ones and I forgot to plug the fan back in. BIOS wasn't set to kill the machine on a certain temperature. I went to convert an AVI to DVD on my brand new dual core processor. I walked away and was dicking around, we smelt burning, my computer frozen and my shit damn near caught on fire. Was a sad day and a very important lesson, fans and heatsinks are very important. Now whenever I swap out parts or build computers I never leave a fan unplugged xD

Reminds me the time i plugged the floppy drive power cord in backwards.. smoke billowed.
Year later they floppies came with connectors that prevented that from happening.
