OP has already ordered the parts so there's no point in arguing.

I agree, whether you're a ATI/Nvidia fan that type of discussion isn't required here, they are both at the highest end of GPU's available and dominate all games. it's just down to preferences.

He's made his order and whether he went for ATI/Nvidia he got a fantastic gaming rig and hasn't really gone wrong.

Yes, photos, and also remember legend, if you need help with the actual build itself, feel free to pop back on here to get advice, this place is teaming with people who will help put a rig together on here,

I myself once helped someone build a rig via webcam just to help out

All parts are in the house! I might start building today. Depends if I have the time for it! #02/01/2013

Crap Daddy · Dec 31, 2012

Nice! So you won't be able to start building on New Year's Eve?

I don't think so :l It's past 14:00 and bpost doesn't do any deliveries after that time so I have little hope I'll still get my cpu and ram today.

lyndonguitar · Dec 31, 2012

Nice Pics, I hope you will have no problems building it!

So do I .. There's so many cables !
It looks overwhelming for a first time but we'll see

Just a quick question though,
am I supposed to attach the cpu cooler after or before I put the motherboard in my case?

In your case before. CM 690 II Advanced has a weird cut-out for back of the CPU area on the mobo so you will not have access.

legendzlive · Jan 3, 2013

My build is completed up to the part where I need to connect all the cables.
I did this build together with my dad, who has no knowledge about building pc's either,
but I think we did quite alright. The cpu-cooler was a real bitch to get in place..
Also, I left the psu out because I am using it to ground myself before handling the parts.

ps. I have my uncle coming over today to help me wire this rig up.
Here are some pictures from yesterday;

Just double check which socket your Graphics card is in, I know with some boards they have to be in the correct socket or will only run at x8 speed,

I don't know that board myself but double check it's the primary PCIE 3.0 socket

It's in the right socket ^^ thank god for manuals ;D
I'll be adding the pictures soon

It's up and running or should I say kicking ass!! ;D

Hellfire · Jan 3, 2013

Cool, sometimes its the slot closest to the mobo, sometimes not

legendzlive · Jan 3, 2013

First off;
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me and adviced me to build this beast myself !

The building process went really smooth

Attaching the cpu cooler was the hardest part imo.
Also, the cabling process was really complicated for me, being a first timer,
but luckily my uncle ( expert ) explained everything to me and helped me wire it up

The pc is AMAZING and I'm loving it

PS.: the screen on the picture isn't my real screen. That screen is yet to be delivered

Here are the final result pictures:

Crap Daddy · Jan 3, 2013

Good work. It's a fantastic feeling when you finish you first build and everything works.
Enjoy!

...PACMAN... · Jan 3, 2013

Great job and I really hope you enjoy, you do however have a great case there for a lot better cable management. Take the time one weekend or whatever to get it sorted, that hardware deserves it!! Have fun mate

Pehla · Jan 4, 2013

now what u can do is a litle bit of house cleaning(cable managment)
i see there is plenty of room behind motherboard to hide cables...
if u are scared to mess with cables do it one by one!!
anyway glad u do it and hope it serve you for long time!!

newbsandwich · Jan 4, 2013

Yeah great job on first build! Like already mentioned, do some cable clean up when you can (get that mass cables away from your video card, give it room to breathe). I have the same case, and you can stuff almost all that extra cable behind the MB tray. Also, you could route the 8pin power cord from the top left hole if you have enough length. And you can also remove the bottom hard drive cage too, this help free up some room and promote easier air flow from front fan.

Do you mind if i ask what the total bill was for your build?

Congrats again on your first build, you did good job picking out parts and putting it all together. Thanks for the pricing info.

Did you ever get chance to clean some of the wiring up?

You're welcome

And no not really :l I did open my case up again after all the comments and took a good look at the wiring beneath the GPU, but I couldn't find a way to make it better..

It's actually pretty 'clean' imo. I didn't use any cables that weren't neccesary and I tried to keep them away from the mobo ( in which I succeeded ). Perhaps one day I'll have to balls to detach all my cables again and make it neater.

But the thing is, I don't want to fuck anything up you know.. it's running now and working perfectly. The GPU temperature is really good. Same for my CPU cores, so I don't see the need to fix those cables right away..
