Just finished building my first gaming PC today

[Fckumeen]

shyt got ya boy looking like when this shyt got running. Building this shyt my self got me feeling godly.:mydamn:


Not gone lie..shyt had me frustrated ready to ship all the parts back. Turns out people dont recommend an mini ITX build for your first build. I didnt know..I just like smaller builds. Took me a few days becasue I ordered a regular PSU and turns out I supposed of got a full modular PSU. Took me forever to find a place for the unused cables . i finally did. Powered it up and it wouldn't come on ..I started googling and someone said remove one of the ram sticks and try. I did and it booted up so i installed windows. . Turns out one of my ram slots had dust or presure from cpu on motherboard was fukking with the ram bank. I blew in it and reseated the cpu/cooler and both ram sticks work now.

GTX 660 Ti
Zotac H67 Itx wifi 1155 motherboard
Crucial Ballistix 2x4gb
Silversone Sugo sg13 case off ebay
Nzxt 120mm case fan
Corsair 600w ATX PSU
i5-2400 cpu
2tb 7200 3.5 Hard drive
Noctua low profile cpu cooler


CPU can be upgraded up to an 3rd generation I7. Case also fits full size GPU. Water CPU can be installed.

Already got windows 7 and keyboard/mouse on deck.

Before you come in and say my build is trash. Dont.

Nice. That build has a decent upgrade path and its much more powerful than the consoles.

ITX

It's looking... kinda crowded in there breh I hope you don't have overheating issues. I would definitely send that power supply back but it's whatever at this point.

Congrats on your first build.

I thought It would overheat also. Case isnt hot at all though. So far my cpu runs 30-34 C when idle and browsing the web and stuff. This is with the stock thermal paste. Havent gamed yet but gpu is idle at 30C.

Those wires

It's a good build OP I wouldn't expect much from it but you're in the pc gaming world now so you're automatically on top

 

[Fckumeen]

The pictures were took before I cable tied the wires and installed the GPU.

I will try and take update pics.

ITX will be the standard soon, it will just be a matter of time in where people will start adding two GPUs on a Mini-ITX build with ease.

Good stuff man. Congrats

 

[The Mad Titan]

I kind of want to build another PC.....

 

[daze23]

good stuff. it's definitely hard to cram all that stuff into that small space, but you got it done. time to try some games

it's not modular, so you end up with a bunch of extra cables. it's not really a problem in a full sized desktop, but in this mini-itx build there's not a lot of extra space. should still be OK though

hes probably not gonna open the case for a very long time, its not see through and shouldnt effect air flow much so he should be fine..

not for me I dont even like medium sized towers.

Why not? If you can make it smaller...it's ideal for more people. Not many like buying full ATX towers anymore breh.

Your needs might be different than others though, why do you need a full tower? Are you on your @2gunsup steez?
