Well, I'm overclocking just because the system is able to (it runs seriously cool even at full load because of the liquid cooler), and I don't mind some extra performance :)

When I googled the...

Hi everyone,

I built my new PC, and everything's been going flawlessly since step 1!

However, one thing happened earlier.

First of all, I used the Asus AISuite TurboV EVO to OC the system....

Nevermind on all of that, I figured it all out. The stock fan I removed is actually 140mm, so it won't fit in that attachment. The VGA bracket that I got the 80mm fan for won't fit in the case at the...

Thanks AR, I'll try to model the wires after that. :)

Great news! First boot went perfectly, and then Windows installed perfectly. :)

There are a couple things I need to figure out, though. On the Cooler Master HAF X, how do you use the Video Card...

Thanks Ricky and AR :)

Parts are all in! Impressive ;)

Haha thanks. I already started looking over Rob's step by step earlier today. I'm going to use his step process in conjunction with some single-step video tutorials to make sure each step is...

Wonderful explanation zburns. I know exactly how to handle the components now; I'll pick up the jumper wire and possibly the foam on my way home tomorrow. Parts should be in by then (case had to be...

Alright, the table does have metal legs. It is a large table that folds in. As another alternative, I have a tall table that's purely wood; the only problems are that its top surface area doesn't...

Okay, first of all, my understanding is that the strap is clipped and grounded to the computer case itself, right? Is there an extra step that I must do to give it a path to the ground?

Something...

Great video review, Ricky. I'm glad to see the case is certainly high quality in the end. The GTX570 review was useful also. I'll stay away from the RAM spreaders for now, then, and go along with my...

I see. Thanks to both of you for clearing things up. This will probably be covered in your comments tomorrow, but the things that really stood out to me were the mentions of heating.

Zburns...

Alright.. I hope it will resolve easily. thanks

Hi again..

I'm really concerned about something. I had asked another friend who is a professional, reliable source for computers as well, but I didn't know him too well and I wasn't sure he was...

Thanks for the voltage tip, I'll watch out for that. I'm going to go ahead and place the orders now (what an exciting moment).

Thanks so much for your support!
I'll let you know how it goes on...

It's pretty late and it doesn't seem like zburns is going to get a chance to view the forums today, I'm going to go ahead and buy the graphics card so that it doesn't go out of stock again (it's...

Thanks Ricky--that's a great deal on the graphics card. But unfortunately, the only card that's on sale has the mini-HDMI instead of the regular HDMI.

I appreciate the reference!

I found the QVL for the motherboard in this build, thanks for pointing that out again -- I searched for it when you first mentioned it but I couldn't find it until now....

I checked out the liquid cooling, and I agree. I like the idea of this system better. Here's the one I chose:

CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler - ...

It seems that the RAM has gone out of stock in the last couple hours :(. This seems like an exact substitute, what do you think?

Okay, this video card has slightly lower specs (about 17/34 mHz less core/shader), uses 50W more power, and is slightly larger. The lower specs are probably negligible, so what do you think?...

Oh no! It appears that over the last 2 days the video card went out of stock.

The specs on this card look exactly the same, aside from it having 1 mini HDMI instead of 1 HDMI and 1 Displayport. It...

Hi zburns,

Your reply was speedy in my opinion, thanks.

Thank you for checking out my build. Let me know what you find out about the PSU and RAM. Although, the "details" page for the RAM says...

Hello,

I've been on this forum a couple times with questions about builds, but unfortunately I wasn't able to buy them at that time like I expected. However, now I'm sure I can buy it, and I went...

Okay, thanks for the link to the video card. I'll let you know when I have everything and if I have any problems putting it together.

Talk to you later, thanks.
