well this sucks. i was finishing up building my computer, and just to do a test boot with the bios only, it worked. i turned it off and turned it back on just for good measure, and sure enough EVERYTHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG. the power supply blew up. at least a capacitor in it did. i successfully got an RMA from newegg and sent it in, so hopefully it will be done by next week. but my laptop died completely unless you run it in safemode now, so there is a high chance that i will not be able to use the "PCmover" thingy that i bought. but on a bright note it works when its not too busy exploding! now since i dont have any pictures of the actual computer itself currently, ill list the specs of the computer. since, well, thats what i should do. intel core i7 2700k @3.5 ghz (quad core, sandy bridge, LGA 1155, turbo clocking (not over-clocking) @3.9ghz) stock intel heatsink/fan stock intel thermal paste 8 gigs ram (4x2 corsair something or other) 1tb hard disk seagate something asrock z77 extreme4 motherboard windows 7 home premium (dead) power supply 800w normal drive bay sentey extreme division II halcon case geforce GTX 660 TI 3gb acer 23.6" monitor asus xonar 7.1 sound card aerocool fan controller razer black widow keyboard a nifty picture of the case (pretty much how it will look in the end minus the fan controler): now i know its not a super ultra awesome computer with a bagillion ghz and 100 gb ram and 15057396 TB hard drive with 20 690's running SLI in a mineral-oil cooled fish tank, but its pretty good for playing video games i think.
Thats nice! I run a Xeon 1280 (3.5ghz quad), 16gb 1333 ram, 500gb HDD, gtx 460 super overclocked (Gigabyte), with 2 power supplies. It came stock with a 400w that easily powered everything inside, but then i transferred my graphics card over and needed more power. I bought an fsp (i think) x5booster for one of the 5.25 drive bays, and it works perfectly. It has 450w ability, and looks cool Lol. So if you need more power for your graphics, and you dont want to shell out 150-200 on the biggest psu you can get, i suggest getting a good one for your system components, then getting the Booster for your graphics. Advertisement=over P.S. Once you get it running, will you post how much FPS you get with that card?
I bought a prebuilt gaming computer, for a good reason, this is my gaming computer. Intel® Core™ i7 3720QM Processor Intel® HM77 Chipset DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM, 4 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 16 GB SDRAM 17.3" HD with EWV (1366 x 768) / FHD 3D LED Backligh NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660M/670M with 2GB/3GB GDDR5 VRAM 2.5" SATA Dual HDD, 1TB 5400rpm Blu-Ray DVD Combo 3 -in-1 card reader ( SD/ MS/ MMC) Integrated 802.11 b/g/n, Built-in Bluetooth™ V4.0 (Optional), 10/100/1000 Base T 1 x Microphone-in jack, 1 x Headphone-out jack , 1 x VGA port/Mini D-sub 15-pin for external monitor, 4 x USB 3.0 port(s) 1 x RJ45 LAN Jack for LAN insert , 1 x HDMI , 1 x SPIDIF speaker out, 1 x mini Display Port Built-in Speakers And Microphone, Built-in subwoofer Output : 19 V DC, A, 180 W Input : 100 -240 V AC, 50/60 Hz universal
Nice system! Mines getting outdated but is still a beast - It has an AMD phenom II 955 (OC'ed from 3.2 - 4.0) - 8GB of DDR3 1600Mhz - 128GB OCZ vertex 4 SSD - Sapphire Radeon 6850 and a 600w OCZ powersupply. Enough of my System Who makes the Power supply - I would be extremely concerned if it blew up.
NERD ALERT. Anyways, I have no idea what your talking about, its cool that you build your own computer, congrats.
Oh, and you should consider this, if you need a high end laptop. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08...blade?utm_campaign=twposts&utm_source=twitter

haha yeah when halomaster1239 (I know him irl) helped me finish it up with cable organizing we realized that all the cables where either too long, too short, too thick, or too plentiful.
