Building my new rig
February 13, 2016 at 3:37 am (This post was last modified: February 13, 2016 at 4:01 am by SteelCurtain.)
I just bought all the major components:

Intel i7-4790k Quad Core 4.0 Ghz,
asRock Extreme6 z97 chipset MB
16 GB Corsair Vengeance Red DDR3 Ram (11-11-11-9 Cas Latency) <--- This will be doubled up later
2TB HGST 7200 rpm 3.5" HDD <--- later expanded
128GB m.2 PCIe Samsung SSD (boot memory) (10 GB/sec read)

Corsair 500W PSU
BD-RW drive
Mid ATX Tower Chassis

I'm not a gamer, so I'm going to use the onboard audio/video chipset for now.

Total cost: $990

Well, not a pc gamer at least...

Nice one Smile

I had to build my "new rig" by shoving the insides of my old rig back inside the casing where it was starting to poke out. At least I still have Windows 7.

Syntax error: the phrase "not a gamer" has not been recognised.

Cool setup, in that case. You're going to be using it mainly for work, right?

Nah, mainly for shouting at and hitting when it doesn't work.

Oh right, Steel.

I was with you right up to '...all the major components.', then it all went blurry and I had to watch a Three Stooges clip to restore my equilibrium.
