Post your rig

I was working on a new build in Nov-Dec 2013, had the part ordered from pcandparts and Amazon back then, put them all together some weeks ago and now I thought about sharing some pics and specs :)













Photos taken with my phone, quality not that good.

One question for the people with monitors knowledge, shall I go for a Full HD IPS 1920x1080 monitor ? will I notice a difference vs my current 1600-900 ? I mean more eye candy ?

Nice and clean build bro!

You have a GTX780 and not playing on 1080???? The GTX780 is 4K ready; you should be smacked on your head :P

AvoK95 wroteAwesome setup! The Side panel mod is genius.
Go 1440P, you can ship it for like 400 something dollars.

Thanks man, 1440p added to my things to get list, I am going easy on my credit card for now :)

Many thanks, a new monitor is a must get asap now I guess :P

Very nice rig. 1080p 60Hz as a minimum on a card of this caliber. 1080p 120Hz (G-Sync / LightBoost) monitor or 1440p overclockable Korean monitor.

Nice build man, the red/bloody ambience is awesome

My 2 year old laptop

Sager NP9150
15.6" FHD LED Backlit Matte 95% Color Gamut
Intel® Core™ i7-3720QM
AMD Radeon HD 7970M
8GB 1600MHz RAM
128GB Crucial M4 SSD
750GB 7200RPM HDD
Intel® Ultimate-N 6300

Just an Update of my Rig, Desk and such..

I just ordered from pc and parts the i5 3570 cpu quad core 3.4 ghz turbos to 3.8 I expect it to be a beast compared to my current dual core i3 3220 at 3.2 ghz

I also ordered the radeon HD7770 upgrading my 9800 gt (finally after 4 years)

With that, assuming I don't fry or break my new hardware while installing them. I would have the above with
8 GB ram stick(one stick, no dual channel, it is running awesomely)
120 GB kingstone hyperx 3k
2 terra 5900 rpm seagate(4 years and still going)
2 big monitors(23 inch I think)
a 200$ computer chair, which frankly chairs are really being ignored here. I feel like the king of westros sitting on that beast of a chair.

I'm ordering these parts next month:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4GB) 1866 MHz CL9
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 290 (For the Never Settle Forever bundle, plus it trounces the GTX 770)
HDD: Western Digital Black Series 1TB
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Case: Cooler Master Storm Stryker or Corsair 600T
Monitor: BenQ RL2455HM

They already ordered it, so it's safe to assume it will be their rig pretty soon.

user wroteWhat I mentioned became my rig. The 3570 is a monster. It was interesting installing my own cpu for the first time ever. I nearly fried it(it hit 80 c on idle, and I played a game before I noticed that that was happening) But a couple of retries and I got it right... The cpu does not appear damaged from the ordeal.

edit: I will post pictures when I get home

Just a heads up, if you removed the heatsink and reinstalled it, you need to remove the old thermal paste and reapply it. However if your PC seems fine in terms of temps right now, I guess you'll be fine.

I knew that but I did not have any, the cpu came with thermal paste already applied on the fan. And when I removed the heatsink I even got some by mistake on my thumb. And I was worried it would not be enough. However I have been monitoring for 3 days now. it idles at 30 C and spikes to 55 C at max usage. It seems I am indeed fine. I became worried too that there have been some degradation or loss of lifespan from that little screw up...I remain worried.
