    Default Crazyeyereaper's New PC Build (with the help of Testudo and Bolkonsky) - Image Heavy in Spoilers

    Hey everyone,

    I just wanted to take some time and show off my new rig. I said in the title "Crazyeyereaper's New PC Build...", but it is actually mine. I owe a lot to Crazy for all of his invaluable help during this entire process. We started from picking out cases and components and went right down to choosing the right cable management path and troubleshooting the Windows 7 install. I had a lot of help from Bolkonsky, as well. Both of these guys put up with all of my questions and help me out more than I could have gotten if I went somewhere and paid for advice/help. I mean Crazy and I were on chat for hours upon hours. And, we did it all through Steam chat and Imgur, lol. Anyhow, here is a little time line in images of the build.

    Specs:
    Corsair Vengeance C70 Arctic White
    Gigabyte UD4H-Z77 Mobo
    Intel i7 3770k @ 3.5
    8 GB G.SKILL Ares RAM
    Cooler Master 120m Liquid Cooler
    2 x Corsair SP120 Performance Edition 120mm fans
    2 x Corsair AF140 Quiet Edition 140mm fans
    2 Stock Corsair fans
    2 x Gigabyte 7970
    Corsair AX850 PSU
    256 GB Corsair Nuetron Series SSD
    1 TB Blue Western Digital
    LiteOn Optical Drive

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 




























    There are still a few more tweaks, but that is it. Thank you for all of the help!

    It came out great! It's so nice to see it finally built, after all the effort that went into it. Have a lot of fun with it man!

    Thanks, Bolk! I really appreciate all of your help with it, too! To bad I am leaving tomorrow and I will be out of town for the week end, so no play time lol. I have to wait for the fan controller, anyway.

    Thanks again for your help.

    I'm disappointed! There should at least be a few specks of blood on that nice white case Excellent looking build, I'm planning to build my own next time around but it won't be for a couple of years, if it looks as neat as yours I'd be well happy.

    I did think at first those were large old power cables until I read the spec and realised they were liquid cooling

    Nice! You've given me some ideas about my new system. What was the total price of it? I'd imagine your graphics cards would've cost around $1000.
    Oh no the picture of my dog disappeared!

    Great build! I really like that case. I liked the cable management. We could have more threads like this. Now go play some games, hehe!

    Nice looking rig! I love that white case contrast with the beautiful black mobo and the water cool thingy looks great as well.

    Enjoy!

    Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate it. Yeah, Crazy recommended a few cases, but this one jumped right out at me. I had to get it. It was really fun to build. Kind of reminds me of the tattoo bug, you know, once you get one, you want more. Now that I have my first build under my belt, I want to build another one&nbsp;<img src="images/smilies/emoticons/laughing2dw.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Laughing out loud" smilieid="180" class="inlineimg">.

    I can't tell if I love the case or hate it.
    Nice cable management.

    If you have Shogun 2 can you post video of a full battle with all options ultra ?

    I do have Shogun 2, and when I get a minute to capture the footage, I will try to post a full battle.
