2nd Ever Build - Please Comment

Merovius · Jul 25, 2013

So I was going to make a foray into the world of liquid cooling but I dont think Im quite there yet as this is only my second build ever. But I would like some feedback on the components Ive chosen to go with and am open to suggestions.

Cooler Master Case

ROG Mobo

Haswell CPU

Corsair CPU Cooler

Vengeance Pro RAM

Corsair PSU

Samsung SSD

LG BluRay Burner

EVGA 780GTX

And I think that about covers it though Im not exactly sure what to do about mass storage. Considering a Western Digitial Velociraptor...Ive never come close to using more than 400GB of storage.

As always any feedback is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Merovius :

The build looks nice and with plenty of high-quality parts, you are good2go. The 840 Pro will blow away the Veloicraptor as a boot drive and I would just get a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 1TB WD Black (500GB is $10 cheaper, why not pay an extra $10 just in case you do start filling up your HDD one day?)

The SSD you have listed is awesome i have it on my 2nd rig. for mass storage, I would get just a normal 7200rpm hardrive and leave the hard work to the SSD.
Check out Seagates barracuda. 1TB, it's like 50-60$. Use it in all my builds, and the customer support with Seagate is amazing, been dealing with them for a while

I'd drop the SSD, get an AMD CPU, and get a GTX Titan.
