Cowboy10uk Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Hi guys, Latest update of my build, after my beloved said no to the full build a couple of weeks ago, Ive been looking for a way that would work for both of us. Im pleased to announce that after a few weeks of ideas, We have finally found a plan that will work. The build is taking place, though sadly over an extended period. While I wouldnt normally build a pc over several months, im confident as most items in the PC have stood still for a while, I can get away with this. The build will be in 3 stages. Stage one. 1. 8GB Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600MHZ Ram - purchased currently using as upgrade in old machine. 2. Coolermaster Storm trooper tower case - Purchased - delivered yesterday, and I can tell you, Shes a stunner :) Stage two ( September ) 1. Intel I5 3570K processor - Going to overclock to 4.4 MHZ 2. Sabertooth Z77 MotherBoard 3. Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 13 4. Samsung 830 SSD 128GB All other items will be moved over from Current Machine. AMD 5870 1GB 3 TB Hard Disc DVD RW drive Blu Ray Drive 1000w PSU 3 x 23" Monitors Stage 3 ( January ) 1. 2 X Nvidia 670s 2GB 2. Razer Black Widow Ultimate Gaming Keyboard 3. Razer Naga MMO 5600DPI Mouse So there we go, OK its gonna take me 6 months to get everything going, But I think It will be worth it. If anyone spots something that can be bettered or should be changed then please let me Know, Obviously from Stage 2 onwards as Stage 1 is already safely with me. See Guys, you keep on at your wife, sooner or later they may give in. ;) ( god I hope she dosnt read this :D ) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

Hamblue Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 You may consider purchasing in the order you can use them. The DDR3 is good as long as it's compatible with your existing system. Many are DDR2 and below. Things that can be used are 1. Power supply. ( usually the first thing needed if upgrading) 2. Video card. Since the power supply was upgraded the video card should be supported and will give a good boost. 3. Mobo, CPU, Ram. Usually best to get together. 4. SSD. I would normally put it closer to the top but lately the prices have been dropping. If you have to wait it's a good one that might save money or get a larger one for the same price as today. 5. Operating system. An OEM copy of windows 7 home will support you to 16 gig of ram. 32 bit will only support to 3-4 gig. Higher versions will support more ram but not worth the extra cost imo. 6. Second Hard drive. Keep pictures, music etc on a 2nd driver and keep the ssd as empty as possible. A 2tb drive goes for just over a hundred bucks and worth having. Good Luck Asus Sabertooth P67 Motherboard 2600k CPU, 16 gig DDR3, 1600. Samsung 830, 256 gig hard drive, GTX780 Video Card, Warthog Hotas, Razer Mamba mouse. Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals.

Cowboy10uk Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Cheers Hamblue, already checked my psu, I upgrade every 18 months so still pretty good, 1000w PSU with more than enough connections and power to run 2 x 670s, sadly the GPUs will have to wait as I don't have the £600 needed to get both, so doing MB, CPU, SSD and Cooler first. Already got case and only bought 8GB DDR3 last week, which is compatable. Hard drives, planning to use the 3 x 1TB I have now for storage again these are 18 months old. Will install using the Windows 7 64 bit I already have. All in, I reckon the upgrade will cost around £1250 over 6 months, which isn't too bad and £700 cheaper than my full build costs.

Daniel M Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I'm keeping my eye out for the post when you convince her to let you build a pit. :cheer3nc:
Cowboy10uk Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 I'm keeping my eye out for the post when you convince her to let you build a pit. :cheer3nc: All ready happened. :) been getting the wood together and got the plans for the stencils off the wonderful guys here. Going to be based off Jedis pit. Currently looking into the electronics for the switches and just got the transfers for the Aces II seat from Deadman. Got permission, to put it in the loft, which is already floored with lighting and electric. Only issue is the temp up there jumps all over the place as it is still just a loft rather than a converted space. Just need to clear out one side to make space, then try and find a way to keep it at one temp. Last pc up there died within 6 months :( due to the temp changes. Like I said she's a great lass, anyone else would have kicked my butt out by now ;) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:
Erforce Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 So, baiscally, any Amiga 500 (running @ 7.1Mhz) on the market will be twice as fast as your OC hardware (3570K @4.4Mhz) . but you're considering adding a lot more ram and SSDrives... interesting !
