Hey my first new build

[GazAce]

Hey good Pilots! Well, I'm pretty excited, actually no.. I'm totally wettin my pants excited! I just finished my first build and actually my first ever desktop. So thank you kindly to all for the tips and advice regarding and leading up to this little project. I want to pesonally thank Harp0 here in DCS who gave me some very helpful tips and also a few UTube tuorials helped too but I especially want to give a massive shout out and beers at the bar for fellow DCS Pilot Gierasimov who without his tireless expertise, computer wizardry and patience I couldn't have got this done in the week it took me, hours Skype chatting and myself sending him pics of weird lookin cables and what not. And also I gained a good Polish friend with a connection (as my dear Mum was Polish ) Mate, thankyou so much, your beyond awesome! And I can't believe what I've been missing out on these last 12 months as in the way of gameplay, graphics and sheer seamless beautiful rendering. Now I understand what you guys mean in relation to immersion, framerates and stuff like that. I was driving a beat up VW for a year and now just jumped into this years model Porsche and it feels incredible and worth every penny I put away for. I did my home work on the specs and it paid off and now after a week or two of tweaking my Hog flys like a dream with my settings maxed and the smoothness is unbeliavable, the NTTR map is quite jaw dropping and hopefully will get even better. I'm still blown away by it all. I left some pics of my new build and screen shots for your perusal and comments, I guess I'm showin off a bit but hey I'm still excited and anyway the gf just rolls her eyes, so I got to show someone right? And it's not just all pretty lights either, it's got some serious grunt under that hood and for those of you who are contemplating a build using the Corsair 570X glass case, man go for it! this case is beautiful, the pics don't do it justice and a little tip if your going to add extra fans as I did as an extractor at the back.. please only use the RGB fans with SP as the prefix name and not the HD ones because they're not compatable with the on board RGB fans in the case. So anyway, if you like, let me know what you think and any tips are very welcome. I purchased all the components on a 3 day sale that this little PC outlet called MSY in my area was having, although I did splurge on the screen but they were letting that go on sale as well so I thought why not, sick of using the home theatre and tv, was time to get serious. Well that's me up to now. Sorry for rambling, time to get flying with my Bates 9000 ( actually he's called HAL-2 )

Take care, stay safe. Cheers G :thumbup:

Thank you Gaz for your kind words mate. It's been my pleasure to work with you on this build - my first time ever remote hardware build, however it is you who actually built it. Well done!

Hey Gazace,

 

What power supply did you purchase for your new build?

[David OC]

Hey GazAce,

 

Happy to see you got the build all sorted out and used MSY here in Australia for all the parts.

 

You really ended up going all out! Compared to the other thread

 

ROG SWIFT 34" Curved nVIDIA G-SYNC 100Hz (Nice monitor)

Asus ROG -STRIX-GTX 1080Ti

 

Guessing you ended up a little bit past the budget.:music_whistling: This should keep you going for a while.

 

Nice build !

Definitely want to add a little overclock to that beast, take her up to 4.8 easily for now. What cooler do you have on the CPU?

Hey Gazace,

I used a Thermaltake Toughpower Series 750W 80Plus Gold 140mm ultra quiet fan which I placed facing down over the case's vent and dust tray, psu comes with mod flat cables and 5 year warranty. It's a pretty good one.

Thanks BitMaster, the GPU software has a few settings incl an OC feature, I've been tempted but haven't done much to warrant that yet.

Hehe yea was a a bit a of a step ahead of what I was looking at for sure but actually better value for $ than that other unit and MSY were great, very helpful and understanding of my needs. And yep when I asked about a Monitor and he brought out this big box and well I checked out it's specs, I was there, my credit card was there.. end of story lol Yea I 've been hearing a lot about this OC caper and I guess I'll give it a whirl sometime for sure but for now she runs pretty smooth. I used a intel Thermal Solution TS15A specifically for LGA 1151 socket, 4 Pin PWM Fan Control and has the cooling paste already applied and was a breeze to click in over the CPU, 3 year Warranty.
