New Member and New RIG!

Kiyo
Level 7
First of all I'd like to introduce myself, I am a hardworking student and plays some sports like Basketball and Paintball, I enjoy hanging out with my close friends, chilling and talking. I like helping out people, helping other people succeed while succeeding with them. When not doing these i tend to play FPS games.

Gaming helps me out harness my competitive and teamwork side. Started out when i was eight, CS ; Condition Zero it is. Played a lot of LAN Parties, I was hungry for more, till then i played competitively. Moved on to 1.6 and then Source, looking forward to build a new RIG for CS;GO.


Anyways, lets get to the Tech part! 😄

THE RIG ITSELF.

Motherboard : ASUS Maximus V GENE Z77
GPU : ASUS GTX 660 Ti Overclocked Edition
CPU : Intel i5-3570k
RAM : Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB
PSU : Corsair Professional Series HX 750 Watt 80+ GOLD Modular
HDD : Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA
SSD : SAMSUNG 830 Series 64 GB SATA
CASE : Cooler Master HAF XM

EXTRA PERIPHERALS FOR THE RIG.

CPU COOLER : Corsair H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
EXTRA FANS : Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition x2 (Will add on to the Radiator of the H100)
EXTRA FANS : Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition x2 (Will add to the back of the Case and add to the front mesh)

PERIPHERALS.

MOUSE : Logitech G9x
KEYBOARD : Razer BlackWidow
M. MAT : SteelSeries QcK (BLACK)
MONITOR : ASUS VW246H 24-Inch Full-HD LCD Monitor

Yes you might be wondering, why is there a Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard and the Mat in there? It's because i'm starting from scratch, i will be setting up my rig with those new Peripherals.

Would try to 'OC the i5-3570k but would need some help, and where can i buy sleeved cables for my Modular PSU? 😉

Thank you for taking the time to help me out! RoG is far out an awesome community.

Very nice tips Chino, helped me out a lot planning my system.

Oh and about the Sleeves, Should i just get the Red? And can someone show me a picture of someone's rig that has those PSU Accessories that's red? Ehh, i have no idea to explain. But you know what i mean. 😄

Holy Mice! Those are some sweet lookin' systems!

However i have a few more questions, if i buy sleeves from the Corsair, will it include everything? 24Pin, 16 (not sure), 8Pin, 4Pin?

And what advantages can i get if i have two Video cards? Even tho i'm just using one monitor. 😄

A lot of help Chino! Appreciate it!

Maybe there is one. But it was a random pic I found on google while searching for the cables lol. Those are the AP (Case fans) and SP (Radiator Fans) series from Corsair. They come in Silent & High Performance along with 3 color rings (red, white & blue). Actually Kiyo is using some of those fans for his rig. 😛

According to their website, the package includes 11 Modular cables:
•One (1) EPS/ATX 12V Power Processor Connector 8 pin (4+4 split) Individually Sleeved Modular Cable
•Four (4) PCI-Express Connector 8 pin (6+2 split) Individually Sleeved Modular Cable
•Three (3) Serial ATA, SATA, Power Connector Individually Sleeved Modular Cable
•Three (3) Peripheral Flat Power Connectors (4pin) Individually Sleeved modular Cable

Well, having 2 of them would increase your FPS. Actually I was reading about the ASUS GTX 660 Ti Overclocked Edition you listed. You'd have no problem getting 100+ FPS with Ultra Settings @ 1080p in CS:Go with that card. 😉

Does it include the main power supply for the MoBo?
