My Rig
Posted: Fri May 30, 2014 9:32 pm
So a few months ago, I got tired of not being able to do crap on my old laptop that barely chugged along on low settings for some of what I wanted to play and just not being able to anything with most of it. So after some research and debating with myself, I put together my first PC. Looking at the games I play and wanted to play, and that I'm not going to cry if I have to turn a couple settings down a hair, I went with the following-
MOBO: MSI Z87-G45
CPU: I5-4670K with a CM Hyper 212 Evo
PSU: Corsair CX750m
DVD: Basic DVDr salvaged from an old desktop
Case: Corsair Carbide 300r
HDs: Samsung 840 EVO 120gb and WD Blue 1tb
Mem: G. Skill Sniper 2X4GB DDR3 1866
GPU: EVGA 750ti superclocked 2gb
So far I haven't bothered with OC'ing as I haven't felt a need to. It's also played all the games I've been interested in (ESO(not that that lasted long...), Skyrim, BF4, small goofy games, and a couple bigger strategy games like Crusader Kings 2 and Total War titles) and done so at settings I've been happy with.
That said, thoughts on how I did? Advice on the first things to consider upgrading a little down the road?
