Nice build! I think this is the first MasterCase of PG! Comment on its cooling. And how is that SSD? I am going to buy 250GB one too. Please post its speeds.


Congratulations!

congratulations brother. every thing is perfect. GPU could have been better anyways i hope it serve the purpose well. and for long run.

Cooler Master MasterCase 5 looks amazing. would you mind telling it cost?

[MENTION=8586]Thinker[/MENTION] Thanks mate Really appreciate your help! [MENTION=33659]extremlycool[/MENTION] Cooling is awesome. Even these high temperatures in Lahore don't make the ambient temperature in the case go any higher than 35°C. I have two radiator fans in the front acting as intake and two in the back as exhaust and so far this config has been treating me extremly well. SSD is an important upgrade. And this ssd has a lot going for it specially it's low price tag. I'll post its speeds soon. One thing I would recommend you to do is buy a bigger one. I cannot emphasize on this enough. Most games worthplaying nowadays are huge in terms of data. I recently installed GTA5 and it takes 100 Gb of space. So, I had to install it in a hardrive I had laying around. Get the highest capacity ssd you can get and ram a normal harddrive in there even if it's used. Tag me when you buy the SSD

[MENTION=3617]JAYZZY[/MENTION] The liquid cooler is great. It was worth the money. I would definately recommend this to anyone looking for some extreme cooling.
[MENTION=21647]nafu[/MENTION] Thanks mate! I will upgrade the graphics card in the next 2 years depending on the performance of vega or polaris architecture when it comes out. For now this will do the trick. I'll pm you it's cost.

That is one great build, I would love to see the setup more (from a distance, covering the room if you don't mind) because I got a feeling it would be too good.
I am hating so much todays LEDs everywhere trend, white tables and shit. This yellow ambient lighting with little wood accents on floor and that floor/tiles looks so much timeless. Never change it bud, its like an old mercedes, never gets dull unlike those leds that gives you mood swings all the time.
And btw, you have chosen core parts wisely, brilliant case, cpu, motherboard. Just upgrade your PSU and maybe GPU (it is still good for 2 years @ 1080P) as well when your budget gets restored.

35 degrees in summers is actually great. I am hesitant about SSD because there are not many reviews for LE series. 10k is my max budget either I will buy Samsung Evo 250G (No warranty) or Corsair 240G LE (1 year warranty).

Nice build

 

[DazZ]

Thanks [MENTION=9503]mave3[/MENTION] Actually it was this or no build at all for the next two years believe it or not. It was an awkward time of the year to buy a gpu because new cards are releasing right now. So far I think I have established a good base for future upgrades. Also do suggest me some of the benchmarking apps you wanna see.

Thanks man [MENTION=29074]rafay22[/MENTION] Glad you liked it dude. I'll be doing a case review soon and show off my complete setup once I have a decent monitor (hopefully). Right now the only thing worth showing off was the tower itself. All good things to those who wait.

 

[DazZ]

[MENTION=33659]extremlycool[/MENTION] I'm here to help bro. Just suggest me a good benchmarking app and I'll post the speeds soon. Then you can make up your mind. Personally I would prefer you buy an SSD with a warranty because I have 2 burnt out/currupt Hardrives with my other system. Proper shutdown is a must for the good health of a storage device and considering the powercuts in Pakistan it's best to get a storage device with some type of warranty. Sorry for the long sentences but I hope you get my point.

He isn't "lacking" in the GPU. As of right now the 390 is by far the best card to get in Pakistan, the 980Ti isn't worth the extraordinary premium.

Now of course waiting for the 1070/480 would have been a better choice but as the OP said that wasn't an option for him.

Every single component in a gaming PC can last 5 or more years but not the GPU. If someone buys the highest end GPU with the intention of keeping it for 5 years than they are far better off getting a cheaper one and upgrading it after 2 or so years.
