How did you feel when you built your first computer? nervous?

[FastVideoTech]

@VHJPwnage90 Probably excited. I do not get nervous easily &I don't remember as I have built 100's of computers in the last 11 years.

[falconidaes]

WTF? Can't see any custom stuff! This case is mainly designed for water cooling, or at least HI FLOW fans mounting. This is a tutorial for 12-year old girl.

[FastVideoTech]

@falconidaes In which part of the video do you see some "tutorial"? This is a video of a computer being built in my shop nothing more or less.

[christosvasiliou]

[TheNorbi80]

I want to buy an intel core i5 2500k.May i get this but rev 3.1 or better p8z68-v lx with z68 chipset???

[xGIBRALTERx]

god sometimes it can be SOOOO hard to get that damn i/o panel to fit in..

[falconidaes]

@pmiccich1 I do not care that flies eat shit. Regards.

[ThePokeOS]

Runespacenut it's about 770w but 850w power supply for the safe side depending on your other parts :)

[pmiccich1]

@falconidaes its offical my friend, you are what we call an idiot

[MrRunescapenut]

also 6 led high CFM fans on the controllers. the ony thing that might be considered overclocking is the speed that i will be running the memory at. also i am planning to get 3 more sticks of ram at the same mhz in the near future and need this psu to be able to support all this.

[MrRunescapenut]

I just got the Ultra x3 800watt PSU for a cheap price but i was woundering if it would work with my setup and been trying to find someone with experience that could tell me if it will. I will have 3 ddr3 4gb memory modules running @ 1600mhz in tri channel mode. two 7200rpm hard drives two fan controllers and one blu ray burner and blue ray drive plus one all in one card reader. U will be running a lga 1366 i7 960 cpu as well as 2 GTX 560 TI video cards in sli and 6 USB devices. Help
