Vlads BEAST

After my old PC bricked when the BIOS corrupted I decided that a new build was needed and with some help (thanks @Ciaran) I got the bits together and after finally getting my case yesterday I started the build.

These are an overview of the specs: 



Ok so the processor I got is an Intel I7-6700K one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B012M8LXQW/

My motherboard is a Asus Z170 Deluxe also from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0126R1XNM/

I watched a lot of YouTube this week on building PC's as I have never done it before so I was a bit tentative about attaching the CPU to the MB but I got there. Sorry about the camera shake:



I got it in using the tool that came with the MB which was really handy. Looks like I forgot to take a pic of the MB with it in due to excitement!

So after that I stuck in my 32 GB of HyperX Fury DDR4 also from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TPQPURS/



Next it was time to prep my case which was a Corsair Obsidian 750D ATX Full Tower: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EB6O4N8/



I then removed one of the HDD drive bays as I will only use 2 for now.



I got a Corsair RM650i as a PSU: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YPQN59S/



Installing was a bit tricky but I got it in.



So after that it was time to put the motherboard in the case. I only had to put one standoff in as the rest were already located. I also just about remembered to stick the back plate in:



Ok so next was the liquid cooler which is a Corsair  H110iGTX: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B010NS1LVA/

This part was slightly more tricky as I was worried about the the backplate being loose when I attached it through the MB to the Intel standoffs but after a bit of googling I found out this was the norm and it would tighten up when the cooler was attached:





I then installed my two SSD's and HDD's into the handy screwless drives:





After that it was really just all about cabling before I stuck in the GPU (GTX 1080). Heres what it looked like when I started it for the first time:



I ensured that it was all working properly then did a bit of a cable tidy and then got all the software in. Currently installing all the usual stuff and Ill get back to you in a week with my thoughts again.

Enjoy!

Edit: Ill bench it and post it soon™!

I AM JEALOUS.

That GPU looks sooooo good?

Ok so I benched it and this is what I got. Dunno if this is good or not:

Only thing worrying me about your rig is the size of your power supply

650 seems a bit little don't ya think? I have a 700 in mine and that only utilizes 400 ish, maybe im just paranoid <.<

650 is more then enough mate

If he bought a "bigger" more "expensive" motherboard he should have went with 1000, this setup is fine, he will have this computer for some years!

Edit: I'm jelly

Are you going to be overclocking? I see people get a ridiculous water cooling setup with no overclocking. There are very nice fan coolers that actually look better than water coolers. If your using a sock clocks.

I will be OCing at some point when I have finally caught up with everything.

What's your average fps in kavala on the server? (Ultra/4k)

Not tried 4k yet but it sits about 60 fps in Kavala. Still not OC'd it yet though.

How did i beat u :O

Well you have 24 GB of DDR 5 compared to my 8 and 8 cores compared to my 4. If I could persuade my wife I would get another 1080 and I dont think I would be too far off your rig.

OC'd it today using the BIOS automatic setup to 4.6 Mhz. Ill do some manual OCing when I research it a bit better.

Lovely computer Vlad, I have same spec as you except you got 16gb more ram then me. 

Installed a m.2 drive the other day just for Arma!
