This looks nearly identical to a system I just recently built for a friend. ("-PhAZeD-" on TTG) Here's a picture!

The case is a HAF 912 and that's a regular EVGA 560Ti, not the 448 (it may be the FPB model, not sure). I was able to get him a sweet deal on the card at the time. This build was also just before the new Intel boards were released. Unfortunately, he did not want to wait. He also went with a 1TB WD Caviar Black, which was actually the best deal at the time and comes with a nice 5-year warranty.

Other than that everything looks good, if you want to save $100 bucks you could burn windows 7 onto a disc thats what I did.


Thanks, and yeah I think i'm going to burn it. I'm kinda surprised I didn't already think of doing that lol.

You should be excited, this is a great build! If you have any questions about how it's going to go, just ask, I've done it! I also have plenty of pictures if you want them.

Thanks! These two builds made me wondered how people have so many trouble with cables. They'll also make me not worry whether a unit is modular or not in the future. Still, I think I could have made this part a bit cleaner.

The cables would not allow it to be so pretty like one I did for my brother! The prices at the time allowed me to make this one just beautiful. I was worried about the excessive rice, but it's not half bad. He likes it, and that's what's important!

Those other pics look awesome too! So, how long did that build take you and is it easy to do?

Maybe 2 hours. I took my sweet time with them both. It's very easy, but you get a good sense of accomplishment when you're done!
