ROG Red - PC Build

I've always been a PC gamer at heart and thought I would write a quick post on my PC setup. It's a modest setup built by myself. My previous setup was a few years old, thrown together with out much thought and started to struggle on the new releases. It was also loud and kicked out more heat than a multi fuel stove.


Parts list

Intel 4670k CPU overclocked to 4.0ghz
Asus ROG Gene VIII Motherboard
Asus Strix Nvidia 970 GTX
8GB Corsair RAM
H100i Water Cooler
Colour Coded Corsair SP120 Fans
Fractal Design Midi R2 Case

When picking the parts I wanted the best bang for buck without braking the bank. It also had to be a lot quieter than my previous PC and run cooler. Water-cooling the CPU made a big difference as did the GTX 970 which runs silent at idle due to the fans not needing to spin.

With this build I took a bit of extra time in designing what the inside would look like, sticking to a colour theme and braiding cables.
