CyberDustin777 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 This is my rig...Purchased from CyberpowerPCCase...Thermaltake Core V71 drive bays removedCPU...AMD FX 8350 OC'd to 4.4 ghz (stock is 4.0)Motherboard...Gigabyte 990 FXA UD3 (rev. 4.0)Memory...Adata 8 gb DDR3 1866PSU...Apevia 800wStorage...1TB Toshiba HDDGPU...XFX R9 270XCPU Cooler...Asetek 510LCKeyboard...CMStorm DevastatorMouse...CMStorm DevastatorHeadset...TT eSports Cronos BlackMonitors...Acer G6 series 24" Widescreen (main) and Dell 17" from old pc used for multitasking Future mods include swapping all the fans to Thermaltake Luna Red 12's and 20's, Thermaltake Peripherals, Custom Cooling Loop ( hopefully to all Thermaltake products ), GPU upgrade to 2x MSI AMD R9 280X, double the memory, more storage - SSD and HDD, possible etching on the side window, and dual 4K monitors. I was watching Newegg video of Computek 2014 when I first saw the Core V71 and instantly I had to have it. SO I shopped around and came across Cyberpower and realized I could pick and choose parts, so I waited till the V71 was available and placed my order. Also while watching Computek video I got a peek at future Thermaltake liquid cooling parts and kits and I am now waiting for them to hit the market so I can build my custom loop. I am switching all the lights to red because of the AMD build and I'm also thinking of a "special" part to add to the cooling loop which will tie the whole AMD theme together. This is my first real gaming rig, I usually buy a 300 to 400 dollar pc and kill it within a few years. This time I decided I would buy what I want over buying cheap and dealing with it. I'm also trying to keep as many parts as possible made by Thermaltake to go with the AMD theme. So that's it for now, any upgrades I do will be added to this post and any info I can get is always appreciated, good or bad. Now if I could figure out to post some pics.... David21 1 Quote

Wow nice man, and happy belated birthday hows the second card? did you notice much improvement in games? BTW not sure if its the angle you took the photo, but i think your cards are on a slant (2nd photo) CyberDustin777 1 Quote
CyberDustin777 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 No slant, must have been the way I took the photo. Games are looking really nice now also. Tt Andy 1 Quote

RE Spartan Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 NIce SPARTAN build! Thank you so much! It's still in progress but not bad for a first build I think. AlShuryan 1 Quote
CyberDustin777 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 Just a little something to tease you all with. I just set up AMD Eyefinity across 3 24" Acer monitors, it's quite stunning to say the least. Now I just need to finish my desk build this weekend to show it in all of it's glory.
