So this is a bit of an odd problem I have.
I posted my build a page back or so, and since it looks nice (to me at least) I would like to see it since its stuck under my desk.
Said desk is years upon years old, sitting on 1"risers just to fit my 430 elite under it. My problem is the case is 19" long, and I have a 53.5" wide desk, 42 of which is taken up by my two monitors.

I dont know if anyone has advice here (other than a new desk) But I would like the see the PC rather than lite up my feet.
 
Well I may as well post on this side.

My FT03 system used mostly for games.
Case - FT03
Power Supply - Corsair 850HX
Board - Maximus IV Gene-Z
CPU - 2600K @ 4.4 - Corsair H80i with 1 x AP15 @ ~1400 max
VGA - GTX 670 - Zalman LQ310 with 1 x AP15 @ ~1400 rpm max
Sound - X-FI Titanium Fatality(good sale)
Memory - Gskill ripjaws X 2 x 8
Storage - 2 x M4 256 not raid
Optical - Liteon Slot load


My media center/ file storage system used for almost everything else.
Case - SG05
Power Supply - FSP 300 watt SFX
Board - N55N USB3
CPU - i5 750 undervolted - Coolermaster Geminii S(modded a bit to fit)
VGA - MSI GTX 650ti
Memory - Corsair XMS3 2 x 4
Storage - 1 x m4 128, 1 x WDC Red 3TB and 1 x WDC 1TB Scorpio blue.
Backup 1 x 3TB WDC mybook and 1 x 2TB Seagate LP.
Optical - Sony Slot load




BTW does anyone know a good image host with image shack going to pay only very soon. I mean it is only like 1 dollar a month so it is not insane or anything(I actually think the new imageshack seems to work fairly well). Just wonder what others think.
 
tinyvoices - awesome RIG. I never even put ROG motherboards into consideration as i thought i wouldn't have enough but for like 10-15 more i could have got an ROG asus for 200. Forgot what it was called, but i guess my GD65 is good.
 
Been quite on here all day, might aswell break that. Well, Is there a difference on how people get the hoses of the H100i from the left and right? Im going to tell jimthenagual about this thread so he can post his build.
 
azzazel_99 - Depends. If you want a new CPU soon and yours isnt doing good, get a new CPU. If its perfectly fine, well, wait, i just saw you are at 4.4ghz. I mean thats great! If you have HEATING issues, yes, get a closed loop cooler but if you have 4.4ghz and a cooler which is doing you great, then no need for a h100i or H80. If the CPU, temps and the cooler are doing you just fine, get a new CPU and Mobo.
 
I read the 2500k when overclocked is still a great cpu but I dont want to fall behind. The 4770k seems to run hot and not overclock great so I dont really think I want to get one of those and I dont want amd so I was thinking about waiting for the next gen of processors? What yall think? I dont want to hinder my precious 780ti in any way lol.
 
Well, Yes you are 2 gens behind and I say get a 4770k if you can. And get an H100i (And a new mobo) Sure haswell is a bit hot but its made like that so its not going to mess up. Waiting will take time...If you have the cash, upgrade your CPU and MOBO, just of course not the GPU 😉
 
If your monitor is already 1080p, that can wait, i could get an H100I AND SSD but i said no cause i've never had an HD monitor...so im getting that and an H100i, so if u dont have a 1080p monitor, get one, if you do, it can wait and get a cpu with mobo
 
A SSD makes a world of difference in how responsive your system will be. It doesn't help FPS at all, but does reduce level-load and respawn times, which can matter in some scenarios (ever been dead even before you could even move yet? Yeah, it bytes).
