I love building new computers, the day when a huge box arrives and inside that box there's loads of little boxes of individual components and you stack them so you can take a picture to send to friends, then you individually unbox them all and it's really exciting, you finally put it together extremely satisfied looking at your brand new extremely sexy computer and then you play vidya on highest settings and sleep like a baby.
Too bad it's so rare that you make a new computers, but still one of the best days ever.

Anything I should add/change?
You are getting a P67 Motherboard, and a 2500 (Non K) processor.
K = Unlocked multiplier = overclocking
H67 = Onboard video
P67 = Overclocking
Z68 = Both
In other words, get a i5 2500k

Why do you need an Bluray Drive? Cant you just buy one DVD-ROM one saves you alot
Get a 650D instead of the Haf X, do you need a full tower? The 650D is lush as hell too, but if you don't want the 650D for some unknown and silly reason get a mid tower, you don't need a full one just for the sake of it.
Also scrap the keyboard, get a mechanical.
Went to download Dragonica again 'cause why not

Also that chassi is bland and boring as hell, everyone has one.

At least 30% of people at dreamhack has some kind of HAF chassi.
So dull.

COMIC SAAAAAAAAAAAAANS
Get a 650D for the same price as the Haf X or 800D (if you really must have a full sized case, which you won't need one anyway; $245) with the money you'll save from not getting a bluray or keyboard.

Are you there ?. I planned to go, But other things got priority
Chose a Blu Ray because i can :v:
And yeah, the Haf X is a bit bland, maybe i could go away from CM for once.
oh damn, i thought that was a 2500k :zombie:

Too much / too expensive of RAM, you can get 8GB for $60 if you look hard,
Get a Spinpoint F3 instead of the HDD you chose,
PSU is a bit overkill,
Keyboard is very overprices imo, you could get a mechanical for $10-20 more,
Might want a BDD that is fully black, might look bad,
Get a H board if you're getting a non-k, or a 2500k with the p67.
also needs MORE COMBOS

Get a damn 650D or 800D if you must have a full tower, damn you how many times, they're such amazing cases and look incredible, also do you need a 900w PSU?

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;30558447]Are standoffs that important? I mean, obviously you can't just fasten the mobo right to a metal sheet, but I'm talking in the sense that if you don't secure one or two standoffs, would it really make as much of a difference as causing everything to shit out on you?
Also, I thought the only plug where polarity mattered was the HD activity light, but I'm not a very experienced builder so I don't really know.[/QUOTE]
Not as important as some people think, but it's nice support for your mobo when you're trying to jam all those cables and pci cards and such in it.
I ran my computer for a few months with the motherboard literally sitting on the plastic insulation bag that it came in, which was in turn on top of a metal sheet. I also kicked it a few times because it was on the floor near my feet. Still works just fine now that it's in a case.[/QUOTE]
idiots like this really annoy me because it could cause some first time builder to damage their components

The sheer stupidity.
Aha, he kicked it a few times.

The biggest lan party in the world, hosted in Jönköping, Sweden.

Stuck in B myself, right under a window :(
God I would like to go to Dreamhack. Too bad I'm out of cash.
I wish Chicago had a big lan party like dreamhack
I'm on my way to see my dad for Father's Day because he's out of town for his job, my cousin got an HTC Inspire but didn't get the tether plan, so I'm stuck on my aunt's iPhone instead of my nice laptop.
[QUOTE=Political Gamer;30564363]I wish Chicago had a big lan party like dreamhack[/QUOTE]
I wish anywhere in AU had something like dreamhack.
I wish Oklahoma had a big LAN party. :frown:
Hopefully i can go to DH Winter instead. One can hope atleast
I wish they let 13yr olds to a LAN party.
And I wish they wouldn't play only CS1.6 and WOW over here.
There's no age restriction at Dreamhack.
