My awesome new rig

So I got my stuff! But I am still waiting for the RAM

They also delivered the wrong case - I ordered the black one, they send a white one (CM 690 II Advanced)

All the parts....

Now just waiting for the RAM to arrive

It will drive a person mad waiting on that last part "As seen above" LOL Looks like its going to be an awesome build,keep the pics coming!

Thanks

Sure I will do! I'm interested to now how much a system like this would be over there? Here (South Africa) I paid R20,000 which is about US$2400...

That's expensive, I could do the same build with a 240GB SSD and 16GB memory kit for less than $1500.

Sucks to be in a third world country then

Had the same problems in Macedonia. The market is smaller, so everything has a huge markup because they have to buy retail elsewhere and import :/ Might be better now, but that was the case in the early 2000s.

[Doctor_Death]

Your CM 690 Advanced sells for around $100 here. the GTX670 $399, the Vertex 4 128GB anywhere from $69 - $99, and the ASRock Extreme6 sells for $189

[petrivanzyl]

Now it is still a mess:

[Drdeath]

Sweet. You will like the i5 3570K. To tell you the truth, my last review, i used the 3570K and could not tell difference between the 3770K. I suppose in rendering it would make a difference but every day stuff, no difference.

Very nice, somebody is going to be very busy.

Nice ... more pics once you get it all together

Lots of nice parts there. It should be a very robust PC when it's done.
