What are we rating it on? Performance? Aethestics? Bang for the buck?

Same thing I was going to ask... Are you just wanting to know how your system compares by power and price variations?

Explain why and what aspects of a build you chose your rating on.

 

[Dr. Havok]

I give your box a 6.5 grade with 10 being the highest. My computer specs are in my sig (would rate my rig as a 9). I run a ROG swift monitor at 1440 resolution at 144hz. Keyboard is a steel series apex m800 and my mouse is a logitech protius core g502. I do not include monitor, keyboard and mouse in the grading.

CPU- I prefer i7 processors
GPU- I like 970's but not the fact they only run 3.5gb in vram instead of the advertised 4gb (I had two 970's in sli in the past).
Hardrive- You did not post this but I would like to see a SSD.
PSU- Okay PSU. Would like to see gold certified. Why do you want to change this? 750 should be enough power for this rig.

Everything else looks good mate.

Please keep in mind a 6.5 in my book is a pretty good grade.

I'm going to say 5 out of 10 because for one thing you need a more open layout desk. Keeping your tower in that spot will not allow it to cool properly like it was designed to because your blocking all your air flow. Its also crowding you in not letting you run to monitors of the same size.

As for the tower itself NZXT makes great cases with a great layout most of the time. Those Hitachi drives are noisy and don't last long, that's why they are so cheap. I too prefer i7's just because. Mouse and keyboard are just a personal preference, I love my Razer Abyss because it fits my hand, its light and not a bunch of useless buttons I don't need as I'm sure you chose yours based on your needs.

5 is an average build based on today's tech.

I'll post mine. Its in my signature, but i'll write it out again here.

CPU: i7 3770K (mild OC @4GHz)
Motherboard: MSi Z77 MPower (sponsored by MSi, so I didn't pick it)
RAM: usually 4X4GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1600MHz CL9 DDR3, but I have a set of 2400MHz CL9 Tridents i use for benchmarking, and a set of Elpida Hypers that'll do insane speeds with the right memory controller (I've got as low as CL5).
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB
SSD: Intel X25-V 40GB
HDD: Hitachi deskstar or some sort 1TB
PSU: Raidmax RX-1000AE 1000w
Display: 3x Acer X223w in eyefinity 5304x1050
Keyboard: Logitech G15 (v2)
Mouse: Logitech G500
Audio: Schiit Modi external DAC for music
Case: Brooks shoe box.

The storage situation is a bit weak i will admit. I only use this machine for games so I haven't gotten a newer SSD for it yet. (I have a 500GB Samsung 840 in my main computer). The GPU is also a bit weak for the resolution I'm driving, but I don't play too many newer games so its usually adequate. Raidmax usually makes highly questionable PSUs, but the RX1000AE is sorta better. It'll actually put out 1000W, but efficiency is poor. I was in a bind and needed a PSU for a benchmarking competition and this was the best I could find at a decent price in the time I had.

I like that ps1 you have there with the 2 analog controlers up top left love it

Overall I'm giving you a 8
Aesthetics (8/10) - Overall good except for that stray 2-pin or 4-pin connector. 2 different sized and brand monitors is bugging my OCD.
Specs (8/10) - Lacking a SSD, but not everyone is willing to cough up the extra cash.

> Can I "borrow" your Ouruborus
> Not the biggest fan of Razer keyboard, way to noisy. I like my Cherry MX Red, much softer and sensitive response, but that is just personal preference.
> Headset seems pretty good, I have a Razer 7.1 Chroma...but I have a feeling it might be replaced by the Corsair Void headset I picked up.
