Nice, but you won't beat my build :P

Also you should name it something like "Bot Master-1000" ;)

Nice, I've got the same ram and similar gpu :D

Is that the stock cpu fan?

You should upgrade to Water Cooling for both the CPU and the GPU and do some heavy overclocking ;)

Agreed, I was on a budget though, and this was my first build so i'm happy with it.

Total comes to about $660, but thats because I got a few parts on sale.

Lie.

Stock CPU is used to maintain the CPU at its normal clock.

if your gonna overclock then yeah you need another cooler, ofcourse water is better then air but makes no difference when its overclocking by just a little, idno about amd. i have a 3.5 clocked to 4.2gz on an air cooler (Hyper 212 evo) which is a +20% clock.

from psu you run into red, and then out through green (there is another green above it, also good for the mobo power) so the 24pin runs in the back

also I'll show you guys a trick for the cpu power next build I do

Yeah like Kasi said, you can overclock on air just fine, you just need a good cooler if you plan on doing extreme overclocking. The 212 Evo($25) and Noctua NH-D14($70) are probably the best for their price points and cool very well if you utilize them properly. I'm going to try to get the D14 for my build (first build as well), but it might have space issues (it's massive, but very quiet).

OT @Sin: Looks like a good build for that price. I would have picked parts a little differently, but to each their own. Are you on the site, pcpartpicker.com by any chance? That's what I'm using atm for my first build and it's really helpful.

@grats, I think I learned about the site from you btw, thanks!

Don't ever get the Noctua, the Hyper212 evo is cooler and cheaper.. if your gonna pay that much for an air cooler you might as well go for a H80. Also if your looking to get better temps, look to upgrade your fans.. I have 2 SP120's at 23-25deg under idle.

hmm nice build, I like the case and the specifications. I guess you made this for gaming purpose.. because the GFX is looking like for gaming. Thanks for sharing the photo. How much this costs? and what about performance.
