    Default New PC Build is DONE! :D

    Well, the parts all arrived and I got this beast built, I like it WAY more than my last machine. I love the 800D, It's the best case I've ever worked with. I haven't had time to delve into overclocking my Phenom II 955 yet but I'll get around to it aswell as my 5850. I tried out some Bad Company 2 and I was expecting Grey screens of death, artifacting or SOMETHING, but nope! everythings PERFECT (That never happens to me)

    It took 5 hours to put together, I took my time and made sure not to break anything. The case is HUGE! I got home from class and walked in the door and was met with the box and the box was literally up past my chest... I just laughed. Anyways, heres some pics ;]

    Yessir, fixed my signature I LOVE THIS MOTHERBOARD.

    It's seriously the best mobo I've ever worked with. I decided not to wait for the 890X because I don't need USB 3.0... I'll get it when it catches on.

    Nice, I plan on upgrading soonish. Get an 890FX Crosshair IV formula, and a Phenom II x6 1090t. that's the plan anyway.

    Very nice looking build, but then again, everything looks about 60x nicer in an 800D.

    (And your sig should say 790FX, not 790X If you're going to play in the AMD camp you have to play right.)

    That is some big ass case. My current is Cooler Master Mystique 631, and is only 44.5 cm in height.
    Is not so spacious, however next time it'll be better.

    only $1200, I could have gotten a better system overall if I didn't get my 800D but I wanted the case so bad and I see it as a better investment than any other part.

    That's £25! That's less then half of what I would have to pay. Me and you ought to go into business I could knock those H50's out £40 a time which is considerably less then what everyone else charges and we can split the profit 80:20.

    Canadian?! What the hell kinda currency is that?!

    I just found it for $216AUD and since the motherboard I was looking at is no longer in stock I have to find another one so this may be a good choice.

    A good case is a lasting investment. I plan on doing 3 builds with this one. On my second now.

    Seeing the pricetag on the 800D I say; makes sense. If you have it for years and years.

    He subscribes to a premium on NCIX, evidently it pays off quite well. He saves more than he pays for the yearly subscription
