Lol I'm a ****ty builder but,


ASUS X99-A
i7-5820K
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4GB
16GB Performance DDR4-2400
120GB Samsung 850 EVO

Awesome Sapphire!!
To let you know, even though I don't "know" you, I can tell you are not a sh***y builder. If you take the effort to do it yourself, by default, you are a better builder than the majority. So take pride in your new rig

I have been curious to see how the Samsung drives perform with the new DDR4. I have the 840evo and it smokes on my ddr3 2133. Being that the drive can use up to 4gb of ram and (theoretically) the faster the ram the faster the drive; you should get awesome drive performance from your setup.

Pretty sweet Sapphire. Congrats on your build!


p.s. save up $10 to support this thread(cause)!
(I do say that lightheartedly)

Hehe thanks, I'm on unemployment but I would have 10$ to spare next time I get paid. And I'm very excited myself when it's finished, I'll be sure to let you know how it works out =)

You will have to(if you want) put a photo build log up on photobucket, or your free site of choice. Always glad to see, get, and swap ideas with fellow builders.

I like to take photos to compare as I build and 'hopefully' improve upon the next time I do it. For me, the last build, was all about wiring. It was an absolute mess b4 so this time around, I really took my time to wrap wires and make things look 'pretty'.

Dang....now I have the urge to build a new PC

Seriously though Mr.Bear, any build is a great build, especially when you have the pride of doing it yourself!
Awesome and we'll look forward to seeing the finished product

Hopefully it isn't a time limited deal, I would like to donate too, payday's gone, but next month is not completely spent.

@ Vlad_the-Bad:

Nice rig you got there, and finally I understand why Vlad's so Bad
