My new Mini Project

ChaoticAtmosphere · Mar 30, 2012

For those of you who are interested, I am building a new computer.

This is what it is built on: (Intel lovers please be quiet. I love the Montreal Canadiens but AMD too.)

Motherboard: Crosshair IV Extreme
CPU : FX 8150
RAM : TBA (Rccomendations accepted.)
CASE : CoolerMaster Haf 932 Advanced
GPU : Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 #1 (Second one to come in May; both reference.)
PSU : CoolerMaster SilentPro 850W Modular.
CPU Cooler : CPNS 9900 MAX Red LED. I did the math with the Noctua D-12 and I currently run a very loud Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX....winner is ZALMAN!!!

Pics to come! :rockout:

Everybody loves logs :laugh:

The Silverstone 80plus Silver certified modular PSU's generally get good reviews check those out before you make any final PSU decisions. :cool:

Well I got an OCZ GameXstream 600w which I know for a fack will not cut it for the 2 7970's I will be propping into this build. so it's gonna go back into my current rig.

My other PSU is a CM silentpro 850W modular......hmmmm.

I apologize for this question, but why FX series? I'm sorry but someone had to ask. :roll:

Go with that CM PSU if you already have it, it should do fine. Consider a Silverstone if you decide to upgrade in the future. :cool:

@ Yo Wattup- Op already stated that he wasn't interested in the Intel vs AMD debate being part of his project log.....

Out of respect however I will answer that question.

Motherboard price.

Bottom line. Oh, and if I could find a 1090T I will not flash this bios.

Ok no more hating.

EDIT: I will flash the bios...ffs.
