Eight08.net: Eight08.net Build | My PC Build

eight08netwp 7 years ago

With the help of a good friend of mines who goes by the name of Leo Millon and his computer expertise, I was able to piece together a custom built computer from scratch to my exact likings. A computer build that would be able to multitask via photo editing, video editing, rendering, & encoding, and gaming at it’s highest resolution while browsing the internet without breaking a sweat. I wanted a computer that would look great and perform great as well. And this build does it all and then some!

After recieving numerous boxes containing computer hardware from http://www.newegg.com and a visit to a nearby local Best Buy, we were ready to start out build

Prior to the installation of all the computer hardware into my NZXT ATX Mid Tower Case, I purchased a can of Dupli-Color Grabber Green Engine Enamel and some 3M 1000 grit sand paper and went to town accenting portions of the Corsair – H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler, CORSAIR CMDLBUK02B Light Bar Upgrade Kit, and the EVGA PRO SLI BRIDGE HB with Grabber Green. Grabber Green you ask? Why?! Because I had a vision prior to this build. I wanted a white & green color themed computer build hence the purchase of a white NZXT S340, an Artic White Asus – SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX LGA1151 Motherboard incorporating bright white LEDs, (4) Thermaltake – Riing 12 LED White 40.6 CFM 120mm Fans, and a white EVGA 100-CW-0650-B9 GS/PS (550/650) Power Supply Cable Kit. My (2) neon green & white V1TECH EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition Design Backplate that covers the top of my (2) EVGA – GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition Video Card was just icing on the cake! But I wanted more cake! And more icing! That is where the NZXT HUE+ Smart RGB Color Changing Digitally Controlled LED PC Lighting came into play giving my computer build unprecedented PC illumination possibilities

2 combined nights of installing all the computer hardware & trouble shooting and my build was done. Auuurite!

And I can’t thank Leo Millon enough for building my beast of a computer so I’ll say it again. Thank you Leo! You are much appreciated! You ready for another build? A bigger badder build haha!
