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

[Trymos]

A good headset? Astro A40. A good wireless headset? I'll correct myself, it does exist - but not for cheap.

Sennheiser RS 220 - $599
Astro A40 Wireless $299

it does exist for under $150.
shut up because i actually bought a GAMING WIRELESS HEADSET for $109 and it sounds amazing and the mic is great, but my headset is going to be a wired one due to the fact im getting the galaxy note 10.1.

Well its take a lot of time, saving / working for money, and organizing the sale of my old comp--- finally its paid off!

CPU arrived and I have everything ready to build! Wish me luck. :3

Sorry the photo quality is meh, I've lost my iPod and only have a webcam for now.

.. ha.. ha? What the forget is wrong with you. >:u

How do I know if the CPU is installed correctly, its an LGA1155 socket. From what I've read it should just 'plop' into the socket and then you pull the lever down to secure it, but it just feels strange to not need to click the CPU itself into place (I'm not used to forceless installation like that, first time doing a CPU). It seems to have aligned right but I'm paranoid its not in properly and will explode.

so where is the ram in that mess :<

It just falls into place.
It's a satisfying feeling, don't worry.

You literally just plop it on top and when you pull the lever down that does the rest, you're just worried because you've never done it before, carry on c:
Good luck! :D

Thanks fawkes, Steve. Almost ready to try turn it on now. Just another question, my cable management is ... okay, nothing really blocking airflow but the cables are quite bunched and clusterforgeted together both next to the CPU, and some stowed in a space below the hard drive (got those cables where there are "stems" of cables coming off of multiple thicker cables).

Is it okay to have tightly packed clumps of thick power cables together?

Want a big strong muscular man to open them boxes for you?~

Credit to Corsair for having great customer service. I was quite confused why I was getting higher temperatures on my H100 - I asked the forums, they told me that with my specific barcode, the pump almost always fails. So they're sending me a new one. Joy!

[lcyGamma]

She works! :D

I finally finished, I was going over what else needed to be checked but couldn't think of anything after making sure everything was done once.

Turned the PSU switch on. Pressed button-- nothing. Realized it wasn't on at the wall, what a typical starfish thing to do.

Everything is going perfectly, all the hardware seems to be detected and the fans are all running. Had to change the time a few hours but thats usual.

I'm so pleased. ;_____;

Might try and move that one cable away from being so obvious but its a little hard.
