It won't need any upgrades but you will!

Yeah you aren't wrong there lol. It would be nice to replace a few of my dodgy bit's

You and me, three, but I was actually referring to you needing to upgrade the computer, whether it needed it or not.

Here’s my new rig. Upgraded from a first gen i7 system (i7-950) to a new Haswell rig….







System specs (old system specs hasn't been updated yet)

- Cooler Master HAF X Case
- Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5 motherboard
- Core i7-4770K (Stock speed of 3.5 GHz)
- 32gig Corsair Dominator Platinum (9-10-9-27 @1866Mhz, 1.5 volts)
- Corsair H100i Closed Loop Cooler with Corsair’s Air Series SP 120 Quiet fans
- AMD R-280X GPU (Sapphire Vapor X; 3gig)
- OCZ Vertex 4 SSD Drive
- Lite-On optical drive
- SoundBlaster ZXR Soundcard
- Windows 8.1

Initial Benchmarks….

- Post your 3D Mark Firestrike scores

Very nice, I wanna get a set of that memory but it is expensive, especially for 32 GB

CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMD32GX3M4A1866C9 - Newegg.com

I got lucky and found them at NCIX for $379 + 11 bucks shipping - Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD32GX3M4A1866C9 32GB 4X8GB DDR3-1866 CL9 Quad Channel Memory Kit

Was a little worried because I never dealt with NCIX before, but the memory arrived un-opened and good :)

BTW they're a little cheaper at Amazon over Newegg last time I checked (449 vs. 469). Still, NCIX beat them by a mile!

Great build, Drew. And good pictures, of course, you know a little about that.

Yeah I'm getting plenty practice doing product shoots. Still needs a little work but...

That is an absolutely beautiful PC Drew. Outstanding work!

Thanks, appreciate that though I think the case looks a little busy compared to my old system....



Don't get me wrong, I love the new system, I just liked the clean look of the old one. Now suddenly the HAF X isn't as spacious as it once was

Thanks Gary.
