Hey everyone!
This is not my first build. Most of my builds have been Mid-range builds so I don’t fall too far behind while gaming!
Now I have some money in my pocket I want to get some Higher-end products. I am an AMD fan boy and would like to stick to it.
Currently I have:
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
Harddrive: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE500BW
CPU: I7 2.9 GHz 8core (Not sure off hand the rest of the info. Once I get it I will update) <---- Replacing
GPU: 2x 660Ti SLI (Disabled Currently since the Board does not support SLI) <---- Replacing
Motherboard: Asus intel (I don’t have the info right now. I will get it and post it as soon as I can) <---- Replacing
KENTEK 800 Watt 800W 120mm Fan ATX Power Supply
RAIDMAX Raptor ATX-823BR Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case <---- Replacing
Not sure if there is anything else that is needed to be covered if so I will add it.
The bad news is I already bought the following before I came here. So I’m looking to see if what I got was the right way to go. I know, kind of a.. backwards on this.
I’m replacing the above with:
AZZA Solano 1000R Black / Red Japanese SECC Steel/Metal mesh in front MicroATX/ATX/Full ATX Computer Case
1x EVGA 03G-P4-3888-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified K|NGP|N Edition 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 SLI
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Gaming Motherboard w/ 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX
I’m not sure if I want to try water cooling or just stick with some big fans and heatsink? I think I’m more scared of possible leaks, even with pre-build water cooling systems. If anything messes up I won’t have the money to replace it.
Let me know what you think and if you have questions.
What do you guys think of the parts I’m using to replace and any other suggestions?
