How's it going guys?
I thought I would share my recent build with everyone to gather some feedback, I always try to improve upon my system building abilities, I consider it a bit of a hobby.
Long story short I had a fully fledged epic gaming machine about six months ago which I built into a Corsair Carbide AIR 540, I sold the machine but always missed that case. This time around when building myself a new desktop I was on the hunt for something similar but not as large.
Enter the Fractal Design Node 804, when I first discovered this case I fell in love, mATX form factor (my favorite again) and a very VERY similar layout to the AIR 540.
This machine is now somewhat complete, I may add a second graphics card if I find I need it but as I game at 1080p I don't think I will, for now at least.
Specs are:
- Intel Core i5 4670k @ 4.2Ghz 1.25v / Noctua NH-C14
- Kingston 16GB (2x8) 1600Mhz C9 HyperX Beast
- ASRock Micro-ATX Z87M Extreme 4
- Sapphire Dual-X R9 280 3GB OC @ 1100/1350 Mhz
- Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
- Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATAIII
- Seagate 500GB 7200RPM SATAII x2 (Mirrored)
- Fractal Design Node 804 Case
- Cooler Master 120MM Sickleflow X Blue LED x3
- Thermaltake SMART 750W 80+ Bronze
Thanks!
