New pc for my brother

Black Panther · Nov 29, 2012

Purchased a HAF 922, i5-3330, an Asus p8z77-v le and 8GB Corsair DDR3.

I'll be using his Corsair TX650M, PowerColor HD 4890 1GB with Arctic Accellero Cooler, Hitachi 2TB HDD.

I still have to buy him an Optical Drive (was going to use his old one but it's IDE)..

I also got him Win 7 64 bit. But I haven't opened it yet because I'm unsure whether to use it or whether I should exchange it for Win 8.

What would you suggest?

Here's the progress so far.

I haven't done much, just put everything in place except the 4890, and most of the stuff isn't wired up yet.

(More to follow).

Stick with windows 7 x64. He will thank you in the long run.

*Edit*

Looks good BTW!

Win7 is fine, I see no reason to move on yet. Or you can get the upgrade for cheap if you really want to.

Lucky for you, Black Panther is one of our more reasonable Mods

. Don't post unless you can productively contribute.

On topic: BP, I suggest sticking with Win 7 and I agree with Brandon that you brother will thank you later.

Great looking build so far BP :toast:

The issue here is that my brother's original OS is XP x86.

Now I might have considered keeping his XP had it been 64 bit, but a 32 bit OS on a pc with 8GB of system ram is a very obvious no-no :laugh:

When I went to buy the components I automatically ordered the 64bit 7, only to remember when I got home that Win 8 was released.

I haven't yet opened the seal on the 7, so I'm still in time to exchange it...

I have 2 pc's at home using 64 bit 7 (the ones in my system specs) and also another 2 or 3 which we use at work which I also built myself which use 7. But I never experienced Win 8. From gaming reviews (and my bro's using this pc for gaming) I read that 8 performs as well as 7. But also that it does not give any significant improvements.

I was hesitating since I have no choice except to purchase a new OS, and common sense might say that I should choose the latest release, if for anything because it might get more long-term support.

And.......

It's alive! :rockout:

Ignore the wiring for now.

I always make sure everything works 100% and leave the wire management for last.

Good looking rig there! Maybe later on you can grab him a Hyper 212+ evo to do some OCing

its not a K series, so no OCing

looking nice BP!
maybe you can buy that cheap deepcool gama archer cooler with 120mm fan, so that it goes with the blue theme
