My new PC

[Cyanide]

Heres my photobucket of pictures of my new build: http://s604.photobucket.com/albums/tt129/hostel03/

what do you guys think? hows my cable management? im going to add a blue led strip at the top to light up my motheboard and all of that more. also adding 4 more blue led fans. here is my build list: Intel i5 3570k CPU, Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 MB, 4x4Gigs of G skill rip jaws x RAM, Western Digital 500 Gig HDD, Corsair 650W PSU,EVGA GTX 570 GPU,Hyper 212 evo HSF, and a HAF 932 Case.

p.s. i might add a SSD around christmas. right now they are just too expensive for me for how much space they hold. not really worth it to me. once the prices drop i defiantly will.

Another blue LED strip IN the case when you have like a 10000000mm blue led fan, good lord. I don't think you can get more blue than that though LOLL

Cable management looks clean, makes me wish I got the same case you got

EDIT: $150 for that case , that's almost as much as my CPU

[dom]

You should get at least 3 more blue LEDs to increase the GBs of your cpu's memory.

haha chillll guys. i like my blue

[woutR]

I'm mirin, don't worry about them.

Nice build, I have a similar build, except I built mine on the first generation. [i5 750 / GTX 470]
I'll be rebuilding when Ivy Bridge-E is out next year, if the next gen consoles are decent I'll hold off until 14nm CPUs and DDR4 ram is out to the general public.

Not sure why people are nagging about the fans, I have 4 blue LED 120s and 2 blue LED 140s. My walls are blue, it adds a nice light to the room.

my temps at idle are between 24-28degrees Celsius. is that normal/good?

Yes. Typically ~70's are high but even then you won't damage your CPU and the life reduction won't be noticeable.

[CrimsonNuker]

What's a good temp for GPUs?
Mine is 38-40 on idle, and when I'm playing bf3, it goes up to 50-60

[Rawr]

Depends on the card, overclock, ambient temperature, etc.
I'd say 40 and below on idle / 80 and below on 100% load over an hour+ [stock-moderate OC]

For a nvidia 9800 GTX or a 400 series [Fermi] 90+C isn't unusual.
I've had my GPU hit 80C on 900MHz and my CPU hit over 100C on 4.2GHz with the craptastic stock cooler when I got bored.

TL;DR - keep your shit under 80-100C.

[Azilius]

Most GPU's are rated for like 105 C or 115 C. Anything below 100~ and you should be fine, though 90~ would be more safe. I mine bitcoins on my GTX 570 and it doesn't go over 80 after 48 hours of continuous 100% usage.

decent setup

[Cyanide]

sorry to revive this, but if i was to try and sell it how much should it go for? i built it for 1200$ and got Windows 7 Ultime (200$ i believe) for 20$ through college.

Computers are a massive hit or miss. Put it on community sites (craigslist equivalents) and title it "gaming computer" with whatever else. I'd price it at about $1600 if I spent $1200 because in my experience people haggle ridiculous amounts. It's tough to sell computers though because of the way technology advances and how much things are sold for..
