So with time to kill in between work, sleep, and working out (while being deployed) I get to read reviews/builds/and upcoming projects to pass the time. So, I have a buddy who wants to buy my rig once we return and with that happening (and being addicted to building/modding computers) I'm starting to list my parts for my post deployment build.
Pretty much I'll be starting from scratch and I won't be using case! I have another friend who wants to help me rebuild/mod my wooden desk (wood working is his hobby and he has all the power hand/table tools in his garage to make this happen). So for the time being here's a list of parts that might change (pending price per performance).
List of PC Components:
CPU - Intel 3770K (will be overclocked)
MB - MSI z77 MPower (I love the look of this board)
*Memory - G.Skill Snipers 16GB (2x8, leaves me room to add another two sticks should I need it)
SSD - Kingston Hyper X 3K 240GB (x2 for Raid 0)
HHD - WD Black 1TB (storage drive)
*Monitor - LG IPS 237L x3 eyefinity or LG IPS 277L x2(this will dictate what GPUs I choose, this is also dependant on the price and reviews once these monitors are released for retail)
*GPU - MSi twin frozr 3GD5 HD7950 x2 xfire/// or MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC x2 SLi
PSU - SILVERSTONE SST-ST1000-G Evolution 1000W (I will be sleeving my cables so I choose this one from reviews and comments in the other forums)
Acc. - BitFenix Recon Fan Controller
List of WC Components:
Fans - Xigmatek XAF-F1454 x 4
- Noiseblocker NB-eLoop b12-3 1900RPM x 6 (will be set up for push/pull on Rad)
CPU Block - Koolance CPU-380i
GPU Block - Koolance (depends ont the GPUs I select for the build)
*RAD - Alphacool NexXxos Monsta 360 radiator (unless someone with more WC experience thinks I might need the 480 to cool my cpu & gpus)
Fittings - Most likely be Koolance QDC connectors
Tubing - brand and color will be choosen closer to the build (depends on the theme)
Coolant - most likely Distilled H2O w/additives
***Depending on the spacing on the desk, will dictate what Res/pump set up I will choose for build***
This is pretty much my list so far in a nutshell. Comments welcome.
