2 and a half years on!

[Fej]

I went from being a PC gamer of 5 years with a awful computer to this sexy computer built by PCS

i5 760@ 2.8Ghz (I clocked it at 3.6)
4Gb Corsair
ATi PowerColor 5850PCS+
P7H57D-V Evo
Titan Fenrir Cooler
640Gb WD Black
Corsair 850w PSU

I had a great 2 and a half years playing this PC, playing games on high to ultra settings with good fps.
But I decided it was time to let her rest and a new beauty emerge.
I built 3 computers (not mine) in those 2 1/2 years, so just recently I thought I'd treat myself to a new rig and build it.
I wanted a complete beast whilst, only thinking of the rig for gaming. So i ordered these

Specs
i5-3570k @3.4Ghz
ASUS Sabertooth
8Gb Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
7970 Sapphire Vapor-X
Noctua DH-14 (hell yes.)
240Gb Corsair SSD Neutron Series
1TB WD Black
Corsair TX850W Modular PSU
Corsair Carbide 400R

Peripherals
Logitech G9x
Logitech G110
Corsair Vengeance 1500

New Samsung 24" LED Monitor/TV

So I did a full overhaul of my previous rig which got passed onto my mum :stuart:
I now become a PC gamer of 7 years with an even better rig, roll on 2013.
Couldn't let my other rig go without thanking PCS for their service, great rig and had 0 problems and 0 BSOD a first for me.

[Fej]

Yeah i'll get some inside pics for you! GPU Lights up on the side it looks awesome

 

[Corfate]

Very nice

Hope the cables are tidy in there!

 

[Fej]

Tidy.. ish haha. It runs very cool, CPU idles around 25 GPU at 27. Best thing about it is it does not sound like a jet engine.

Great build How do you find the G110 keyboard when gaming, would you recommend it?

Btw think it's the first time I prefer the profile pic of the poster to the pics he posts lol, who's that on ur pic?

Great build How do you find the G110 keyboard when gaming, would you recommend it?

i've got the g110, (see my recent pics)

its not a bad keyboard, kinda mid range, the keys are pretty good, lighting is good. The software is naf though, and the macro keys i dont really use apart from push to talk buttons for steam and TS.

It is also pretty wide though, so make sure you account for that.

Also the wrist rest is a bit cheap, just crappy clips! one thing though, you are playing bout 60 notes for the g110, for a tad more, you could get a high end keyboard thats mechanical!!! So that's what i'd do! Im currently in process of contacting logitech cause my g110 is faulty -.-, then going for one of the CM Storm Keyboards.

Awesome thx Tom The only thing about mechanical keyboards is that I think the clicking sounds would drive me nuts after a while ^^

I don't mind the size my desk is pretty large. The CM storms don't have a numpad though unless you go for the Trigger which is £100 and they don't have customizable backlighting. Same problem with Razer, I just like to customize my things. I'll have another look around, still have a couple of months before I actually consider purchasing anything.
