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

I don't feel comfortable raising the voltage high enough to overclock my CPU past 4.2GHz.

Tweaked my SATA mode and broke Windows 7 yet again.  Up to 4 installs of Windows Server 2012, 3 installs of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, and now on Windows 7 Pro 32bit, just because I gave up.  Also ruined a install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, and of course we can't forget the HDD failure because it finally gave out, that is until I run some tests on it and stuff.

Took around 15 seconds for Windows 7 to start up

Also specs on my custom built tower, gonna up the ram to 8gb at some point as well as hopefully add in a hybrid SSD/HDD for little over 100 bucks.  I also have an unlocked processor so I can take that 3.9ghz up to 4.5ghz as stated on forums around but I have no need to clock it any higher right now.

I am thinking about replacing my 8150 with an 9590. Worth it?

No.

its pretty useful for heating your home during the winter. too bad you need a nuclear powerplant to power it

Which one of these power supplies are better? I also plan to do cable management but my current PSU's cables are no where near long enough and they don't really bend. Anyway, which one should I get?

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

NZXT HALE90 750W

This is the case i'm getting.
NZXT Phantom 630 Windowed Edition Matte Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Which one is better for cable management?

goddamnit my bios crashes when i try overclocking above 4.7ghz
so much for beating Spook :(

;) Might post an overclocking guide if people want. I stuck it at 4.6GHz only because it was the most stable without using to much voltage. I could make it higher.

I know how to overclock, but for some reason it crashes at exactly above 4.7ghz
4.6ghz works fine though. ill try updating my bios to see if that helps.


and glass get the corsair, its black which fits your black case visually, plus its completely modular while the nxzt is only partially modular. and are you sure youre going to need 750w? 750w is only useful with 2 video cards, if you are running a single one then 500w should be enough any day

I rather just get a 750W. Just in case I do decide to get two cards. And thanks.

Will the corsair motherboard and CPU wires be long enough to go behind the motherboard for cable management?

This is what I want mine to look like.

I found NZXT's Cable Extensions which seem good for cable management, what cables would I need to get for everything?
