[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

Also, Since I want to do some cable management with a big case (NZXT Phantom 820) will I need any extending cables for things like the PSU and what not so I can reach? Or will the cables that come with the CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W be fine?

YOU PEOPLE MAKE MY OCD EXPLODE OUT MY TEMPLES

Sorry Fawkes but i can't stand the Phantom 410 being so messy like that. Tidy up your cables.

Hehe, I'm gonna post a pic of mine when I get home. But I'm afraid you might hop on the next plane, hunt me done and kill me if I do.
But I blame my PSU. Next time I'll get a modular one. My current one comes with this huge bunch of cables that I can't hide anywhere. The 8-pin cable for the mobo is too short so I have to run it straigth through my case instead of tucking it away neatly. The same goes for the fans. The fan headers are situated in really inconvenient places on the mobo. The fact that I've got a big-ass CPU heatsink doesn't help either :/

Any suggestions on how to fix the mess that comes from non-modular power supplies?

Turns out this was made for Dell Dimmensions so ima go with it.
The Mobo only supports the Pentium 4 processor but it's fine.
thats just about it. maybe I can find a wifi card for it but thats all i need for now.
thanks guys.

I setup my new PC today, everything runs fine except for one thing, read/write speeds to my HDD are extremely slow and I can't figure out why.
The motherboard is an ASRock 970 Extreme3 and my HDD is a 1 TB Western-Digital Caviar Black which I had been using in my old build without any issues, I'm using the same SATA cable I did in my old PC and I've tried switching to a different SATA port on the motherboard, but nothing seems to make any difference.

Anyone have any ideas? I've looked on google a bit and I couldn't find much to help me :(

You might be downloading Windows updates.

I have been for somewhere around the past 30mins-1hr.
It might just be the placebo affect, my HDD is kinda loud in this case, possibly due to the way these new HDD docking things aren't as enclosed as old HDD bays so everything is feeling much slower than it is.

I dunno, I just hope it isn't a major issue

Can someone recommend me a good headset? My budget is $40.

Why do you people insist on making your budgets so low -_- anyways the best I could find is this.

The cables are fine. Corsair's cables really never had an issue of being too short.

Yeah, Windows update slows my hard drive down a ton.  When I got this computer, I was benchmarking with some games and absolutely nothing was loading in time.  Try pausing the update.
