Building My i5-2500k / GTX560-Ti Gaming Computer

Heavily inspired by this video: http://youtu.be/El3crSn-uP0

Cooler Master HAF 912 Case
ASRock P67 Extreme4 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500k Processor @ 4.2ghz
Cooler Master Hyper212 Plus Heatsink
EVGA GTX560-Ti Superclocked Edition
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 RAM
ASUS 24X Optical DVD Drive
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB
Corsair TX650-V2 650W Power Supply
Cooler Master Megaflow 200mm Fan
Cooler Master Blade Master 120mm Fan on the 212 Plus for Push/Pull
HP 2310m 23" 1080P Monitor

Total cost was about $1064 without the monitor, and $1154 with it included. OC'd the processor to 4.5ghz and it's been running fine. The video card was defective but I RMA'd it and the replacement has been working fine since.

lol never ever install a computer like that, even if its for show and tell, did u notice the graphic card bending already, and plus watch out for that static electricity :o

@NvidiaNerd

The graphic card is not bending at all and I was grounding myself every few moments by touching the steel part of the case. If you're talking about when I built the system on the box to test it, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. How would you feel if you built your whole system into the case only to find out that your motherboard is defective? That'd suck.

Go troll somewhere else.

You look like JJ from ASUS lol

@iiKidRodi

I wish I did..he looks so much more professional than I do

Isn't that heatsink a little bit overkill for an i5-2500k? I've been using an i5-2300 with the stock fan and heatsink for almost a year and have had no issues with it overheating.

@ElegyForTheMasses

I overclocked to around 4.5ghz and the temps aren't even as good as they could be.

@romario50001

I'm such a dumb fool for pointing out that people refuse to read the video description? Or even read the first 10 seconds of the video itself?

You're* not welcome here, and neither is your poor grammar.

@trashypickles

You truly are retarded..or still a troll

[NowLifeStarts]

Nice video. I am thinking of buying a system with the identical specs to yours. I will use it for normal online work and playing BF3. Thanks.

@freakincrazyperson When I installed mine, went in smoothly. No crunching.

bro what is the song name ???

[rosen97Lewis]

ok is there cheaper Mother Board ?

[Axl29]

@EmperorDozed $1100 is a bit much to spend on a computer from another country. Not to mention that you have no idea if all the parts would have been working. If not you would have had to return the whole thing instead of 1-2 components and simply replacing that 1-2 parts yourself.

@killyamomz get a 2500k, 8GB of RAM (You don't need any more, trust me) and instead of a 580, maybe get something like crossfire 6850s or something? Would be much cheaper.
