So after 8 long years and utterly frustrating last 3 years (PC was not working at all), I finally upgraded my rig.

I was purchasing components from last few months. All of this was not bought in one go :-D

So here is the config:

Intel i7 4770k
Asus Maximum VI Hero
ASUS Radeon R9 280X DC2T
Cooler Master Hyper 212x
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB 1600 MHz CL10
Corsair GS 600
Corsair 400r
Corsair AF120 x2 (Red and Purple LED)
Corsair AF140 x1 (Blue LED)
Intel 530 240 GB SSD
Western Digital 2TB 7200 RPM
Asus DVD R/W DL
Logitech G105
Logitech G400s
APC BR1500G-IN
Asus AC66U
Dell S2240L

Thanks!
[MENTION=148045]anirbandd[/MENTION] I did click a couple of pics while building. Will try to find them and update here. Otherwise it will be a pain to disturb the whole setup I have unless someone can take my Corsair 400r and I swap it with 600T.:-D:-D

damn. dude anirbandd, how badly you wanted to see the insides? coz my PSU (one of the few parts re-used from my old rig) just went kaput and I had to take out. took some inside pics for you in the process. :(

Beast of a rig. Congrats :3

However, please do check the fan arrangements. There could be better airflow.

Why dont people buy the R9 290 ? , only this and the 290x are based on the new hawai architecture, rest of the R9 series are just rebranded Amd 7000 series cards.

I know right! And why did he go for an i7 4770k instead of Haswell-E? And that too with air cooling when he could have gone with liquid nitrogen. Such noobs...

What I mean is that instead of buying an i7 4770k+R9 280x he could have bought an I5 4670k+ R9 290

Both setups cost the same and IMO the second one is a more powerful setup for gaming

Like building an orbital doomsday machine for eliminating mankind ?

Seriously though, unless and until he uses an application which can take full advantage of HT, the I7 is way overkill.

Plenty of everyday applications could use the extra threads. How do you know the OP isn't seriously into photo editing, 3d rendering or software development?

Because if he seriously was into stuff like 3d rendering etc he would have gotten a firepro/quadro card.Anyways it still is a very powerful setup and congos to OP.

But I still think that a card which performs better than even an Nvidia GTX TITAN in certain games would have been a better choice for OP
