Been lurking / creeping here for a few months now and figure I should start contributing

Started a video log on my PureSolidness Youtube channel including unboxings/overviews/reviews of all the components I'll be using and decided to post up my progress here too for any additional feedback/suggestions.

Purpose: Secondary rig (HTPC / budget gaming rig) I wanted to show my YT subs that they can still make a decent compact gaming rig for under $500 (will also be used when main rig is busy encoding). Also the build will be used to refresh my PC building skills so when I upgrade my main rig next year, I dont f*ck something expensive up wink.gif

ANY COMMENTS / SUGGESTIONS ALWAYS WELCOME!

Specs:
Case - BitFenix Prodigy white
Mobo -Asus P8H77-i
CPU - Sandy-B celeron G530
GPU - My old 5770 when gaming, integrated if I make it HTPC only
Ram - Corsair Vengeance 8gb blue
SSD - Undecided, probably intel 330 120gb or samsung 830/840 120gb (waiting for Black Friday wink.gif)
HD - None - will be networked
PSU - Corsair HX650
Mouse - Asus Lambo wireless white
K/B - White Mac k/b clone
Speakers - If I can find decent white ones I'll get them, if not probably just old ones lying around

Since you said a gaming rig, I'm assuming you are using windows?

This is funny.

Was scrolling through the SFF section and see a Build Log named "PureWhite" and thought of PureSolidness from YouTube. lol I have been following your progress there since you first bought the Prodigy case. Have been subscribed to your YouTube channel for sometime now. Never knew you were on OCN.

Good job with the build and keep making videos.
