time for a over haul re: mobo, cpu, and ram


Recommended Posts

This is what i ended up with after some RMA, got the PSU for 99.99 at new egg on a combo deal with the mobo ( yes over kill ) oh i got That H110, the green on the tower well be painted flat black, thats where i cut some cost. the 280mm radiator fits great in the top... The tower gets great reviews and i have a Antec 300 that iv been using since 2008 love that old thing....

Nice system specs.  Congrats.  A little late to the party, but I would have kept your existing power supply (I assume it's still working) and put that money towards a GTX 760 video card  :)

I'm late to the party too ! it all seems good but the ram was overkill . your only going to gain 1fps if that . really whatever was cheaper , but gskill is a awesome brand.
