SPAZZA Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hi Guys & Gals, My rig is about to turn 8 years old and it's time to retire the old girl (I'll refresh her and she will become the kids PC). I'm in the process of pulling together some specs and would appreciate your feedback. I'm planning to spend around $2k (which is around $1,500 USD) and it's only for the box (case, power supply, CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, HD etc...). No new monitor, keyboard or mouse at this stage. I've always built AMD boxes and I can't see me changing that in the future. Have a look at the parts I've picked and please feel free to give me your feedback. Al Link to comment
Boards Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Looks great Spazza! Love how cheap RAM is these days. Good luck with the build man. Boards Link to comment

LuNaR Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It looks like a pretty good build. I'm interested to hear how you like the Ryzen CPU. I'm hesitant to invest in AMD, but their new Ryzen line looks very promising. Don't know how experienced you are in building, but don't forget thermal paste! If you're interested, I have a CoolerMaster HAF 932 case that I'm getting ready to post to ebay. It's in pretty good condition, minus the front 3.5" floppy bay USB3.0 ports are busted.

SPAZZA Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hey LuNaR, Thanks for the feedback mate. I have built all my PCs since i was 18. Thermal paste is the most important part of the build! Send me an eBay link when you post it and I'll check it out. I havent seen you in game for a while. Hope you've been well. Al. Link to comment
Gryphus_1 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'm curious to hear how you like it as well. G1 ""Don't quote my quotes!" - Fruits" - Rattle Link to comment

It's the first systems I've built with a SSD (been meaning to get a SSD for years but never have). I spent most of the weekend installing software (most of which needs to be downloaded and I only have a 6mb connection!). I'll post some pics of the new rig tonight when I get home. Link to comment
Gryphus_1 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I got an SSD not long ago, it's amazing. G1 ""Don't quote my quotes!" - Fruits" - Rattle Link to comment
SPAZZA Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Here's some pics of the new rig. I changed the case to a Thermaltake Versa N23 to save some money on the build. I also changed the power supply to a Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 650w (I calculated the total watts for the bild at 400w). Link to comment
Boards Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Nice Spazza! Do the lights help with your shooting? Lol! Boards Link to comment
Frozenrunner Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 They probably don't, there isn't enough RGB lighting. There needs to be a lot more of it! Link to comment

Boards Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Lol, it looks awesome! Congrats on getting the new machine going. Boards Link to comment
Gryphus_1 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 A solid 6/RBG. G1 ""Don't quote my quotes!" - Fruits" - Rattle Link to comment
