Hi!

) by making new thread of my build!

My current PC is P4 Northwood 2,[email protected],1GHz and Ati Radeon 9600 so I think this upgrade from P4 to i7 will be huge, huh?

This is going to be my first "real" build so dont blame everything on me!
I'm hoping 3,6-3,8GHz stable OC from this setup and hopefully I can do it without damaging my PC!

Nice setup buddy.
Personally I would of gone for a TRUE to cool the CPU, though.

Get pictures up as soon as possible.

I would get some other power supply...try to find a modular one.
Choose Arctic Cooling MX-2 or OCZ Freeze instead of Arctic Silver 5

Everything else is looking good...
The case comes with the power supply and cpu cooler guys...

I am sooooooo jealous you were able to get one of those cases! Only 50 in America!!!
Looks good, best of luck with the build!

Thanks. CPU cooler and PSU come with the case. Maybe I would have choosed TRUE and other psu but I wanted that case soo badly.

If the cooler performs badly I might change it to some other aftermarket cooler.. But for now, I'll stick with them.

If its the cooler I'm thinking, its not very good, especially for the calibur of the other parts that are going in your build, lol

You should have got a bloodrage! The color scheme would look AMAZING in that case you got!

Wow that was painfully obvious.


Anyway, the case looks sexy. I approve!

The M(odular)850 is modular. Great power supply, but if you want to upgrade in the future get yourself a Corsair HX1000 and buy gtx285's


Coolermaster black cosmos = expensive
Better get a HAF 932 or Antec 1200, cheaper and better

It's (case) expensive but imo it is really beautiful aswell. I was watching at HAF932 and 1200 before I was planning to build new PC but when I saw this beauty "Cosmos black" I knew it would be my next case.


I'll go with z600 and M850 till summer. Then I will see if I need to buy more efficient cpu cooler or maybe even go to water cooling.


E: ugh.. I was supposed to quote post #16 but I apparently failed to do so, sorry

Like I said earlier check out the foxconn bloodrage mobo, it would look amazing inside of that case. And it is an AWESOME board that is super hard to find, but it is on newegg right now.

Nice, can't wait to see it.

(I have case #84 sitting on my desk,)

Something was just delivered.. Still waiting for the case but it should arrive soon aswell so I can get into work!
CPU batch # is 3843A813. Hopefully it is a good clocker






The mousepad is HUGE
