Im just wondering if i can save myself the money and use my HDD I have in my current computer. It's a 1 TB western digital i got a few years ago, they are pretty standard aren't they? I just dont feel like tearing my computer down to check the serial number. Thanks

Thats because in 50+ builds i've only ever used Asus or Gigabyte. I had one failure, it was an Asus p55a if i remember correctly.

Im saving 70 dollars getting the mobo cpu and ram together,thoughts?

 

[Gee Bee]

are you gaming on a headset, the 760 will not be as noticeable to your ears but the evo will at full gaming load. As well as my personal preference for certain mobos only.

This a great gaming build and from your perspective (not mine) i wouldn't change anything.

 

[jordansb8]

whats the evo

 

[Gee Bee]

whats the evo

Cooler master hyper 212 pwm

i have 612 pwm and it's also loud.Can hear it over 2 x 280x's at full gaming load, as well as 5 other case fans. Otherwise it's a great cooler.

I'd strongly suggest getting 8GiB of RAM. You'll run out on four fairly easily.

If you're getting a good bundle deal, you could get a second one of the same, but I'd try to get a 2x4GiB DDR3-1600 set.

 

[jordansb8]

Ya it comes with 2 x of the one I posted

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Ok, that's fine.
