The new addition to my room.

[KasperL]

Hi everyone.

Just joined this forum, and wanted to show you my new gaming PC. I've never had a decent gaming PC before, so this is a great experience for me. BF3 on Ultra graphics looks so good. :-D

Anyway, here are the specs:
- Graphics cards: (SLI) 2 x MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti TWINFROOZER II Edition.

- CPU - Intel Core i7 3930K Sandybride-Edition - Equipped with a Cooler Master Hyper 212S cooler.

- RAM: 16 GB VENGEANCE/HYPERX DDR3 1866 MHz Quad Channel.

- PSU: CoolerMaster GX750

- Motherboard: MSI X79A-GD45

- Harddrive: Samsung 1 TB - 7200 RPM.

- Disc drive: Samsung Blu ray Drive.

- NZXT Phanthom White case.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

AOC 23,6 '' Monitor.

My knowledge with computers are quite low, so when i chose to put in a Blu ray drive, i never considered whether Windows 7 plays Blu ray or not, so, i wasted money on that Blu ray drive. But hey, it's alright, doesn't bother me that much.

My reason for not having an SSD drive installed within the setup, is that i find them too expensive for their purpose. Loading time doesn't bother me that much.

Tell me what you think about the setup

Wow how much did that CPU cost you?

Say what? My Blu-ray works just fine on Windows 7.

560ti sli? A GTX 670 would beast that for the same price. Otherwise, awesome. But, Vengeance/HyperX? Those are two different ram brands. Did you buy, or build? Because brands like cyberpower will say Vengeance/HyperX. You know, us computer experts (Just kidding, I'm not incredibly knoladged, but I know quite a bit), don't think computers you buy are very cool.

I don't know for sure. The PC costs about 2000 Euros or so, if my currency converter works, my since a big portion of the prize was a gift, i only paid about 800 euros with the monitor included. I also payed a little extra in order to get my pc faster than other customers that had ordered.

How do you make it work? Mine just says something about invalid format i believe.

I bought the PC from a gaming systems company here in Denmark. I didn't build it myself, since i don't have the skills for that. Since this is my first pc, i just found this particular one, and thought it looked fine. After talking to them, i bought it.

Skills? Cheese, you don't need half a brain to build a computer. Honestly, with a couple questions from the forum, I built. Pc, seriously with no background in building computers.

I don't really mind if someone 'buys' a computer. It's just kind of an easier way to do it . But if you ever want an upgrade you can just put your new part in .

No, it's for lazy people, or for very casual users with no background in computers. I bet I could build a system with those exact specs for 500 pounds less.

I don't have any background in computers, and have no idea of how to put one together.

The company says that upgrading the graphics cards can be done with ease. And if anything is not up to standard in this build, i'd say that its the graphics cards. Those can be upgraded easily if i ever need to. Thanks for your comment

No worries man . You can look at some YouTube videos, ask questions on this forum and also look inside your own computer to extend your computer knowledge .

Thanks mate. Probably Will. Do you have any tips for me? Things i should know?

I will say one more thing. Putting a computer togeter: Screw 9 screws for motherboard. Put cpu in a socket by, well, putting it in a socket, and press a lever. Put the graphics card in a socket, than screw it in the case to support it. Put a few wires in, it's straight forward, big 24 pin goes there, P4 goes there, and the motherboard manual covers it. Screw the power supply in, (do this before motherboard wires) plug it in, than start it up. I do Not think your pc is cool. You could have got way better specs for the same price.

Stop being so condescending+aggressive, as mentioned, he got this build very cheap, was it 800 euros in the end? A great deal. His PC is powerful and got a better build than me for cheaper, so calm down. And please stop it with the cheese..

Anyway, Kasper, your build is great but if you intend on upgrading/adding anything to your build then just make sure you are grounded, this can be acheived by using a grounding strap/plugging yourself into the wall sockets grounding wire. You could alternatively hold an exposed part of your case (bare metal) but the Phantom doesnt have any

By the way, you do not need to upgrade, SLI GTX 560 ti's are more than capable and everything else looks fine!

Thanks for the feedback. Can you give me some more info on this grounding thing?

I think what he means by 'grounding' is not allowing static electricity run into your computer parts. This can be done by touching metal objects. An easier way to do this is to buy an "Anti-Static Wrist Wrap" It basically connects to your wrist and then conects to a metal object.

If you're unsure of how easy it is to build a computer there are many tutorials on YouTube. Here is one put out by Newegg, pretty easy to follow .
Part 1 of the video shows the parts in a computer, part 2 shows how to put it together and part 3 shows you all this Windows stuff.

It's actually easier than most people think .

Okay then. Is it necessary to do this grounding?

I'll look at the videos, thanks for linking mate.
