The Fancy Pedestrian

[alex5389]

GTX660 is non standard card to begin with, so I woudl triple check that block would fit or opt to Universal block. The rest looks fine.

Very good point! It looks like according to ek this block was the only one they actually physically matched to a vga (this is partially why i picked that one). I would lose my shit if it turned out not to fit.

I also woudl not spend money on overpriced generic fans, when you can get same or betetr result with YateLoon for $6.99 a pop at Frozen.

Haha I got caught! This was actually my way of padding the budget to give myself a little wiggle room in case the auditor came down on me. lol

nice list of parts

that is a great mobo you can also get a full mobo block for it http://www.dazmode.com/_forum/showth...ll=1#post18725

I picked that up from daz

think you could do better in the ssd department for price and speed

Lookin forward to your build good luck!

Fuzzy!! Done and done. You have helped me much my friend I think this will look awesome!!! I had forgotten of the existence of full mobo blocks all together since on my last build i had to go through hell to cool NB, sb and mosfet.

Hey Everyone!

I have begun planning a new build! I will call him The Fancy Pedestrian, and so he shall be, he will be mediocre on the inside and beautiful on the outside. He will live in my bedroom and he will be expected to run as quietly as possible. He will be used mainly for media however he might be expected to game occasionally (nothing too fancy(quiet is the goal here)) The lack of 5-10K will keep me from building a god machine work of art like some of you others out there (you know who you are) have been doing, however it will not hinder my interest the WC/Modding hobby. When I am rich and famous I will wow everyone with my WC'd supercomputer that could pass for night club decoration, but until then this will have to do...

Ok, ok, all jokes aside now.

I say I have begun planning and only planning because I have not yet received permission (some of you may understand(i hope)) to start my build. But soon purchases will be made and then there will be happiness again. In the mean time I have assembled a general list of parts to give the keeper of the keys and I will share it with you just below.
