Introduction
Hey there, YouTube viewers! I recently finished building my computer and I just bought a camera, so I thought why not show you what's inside. In this article, I'll be talking about the components I used and how each of them performs. So, buckle up and let's dive into the world of computer building!
Motherboard: Enforce 790 ISLI
The Enforce 790 ISLI motherboard is one of the main components that keeps everything running smoothly in my computer. It's a top-notch motherboard that I have absolutely no complaints about. Its performance and reliability are truly outstanding.
Pros:
- Excellent performance and reliability
- Supports SLI technology for improved graphics performance
- Allows for easy customization and overclocking
Cons:
Graphics Card: GeForce 9800 GTX
When it comes to graphics, the GeForce 9800 GTX is the cream of the crop. This graphics card is the best in its series and is definitely worth the investment. Its price has even gone up since its release, which goes to show how in-demand and valuable it is. With impressive performance and top-notch graphics rendering capabilities, this card is a winner.
Pros:
- Superior graphics performance
- Great value for money
- Highly sought-after in the market
Cons:
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Creativity
When it comes to sound, the Sound Blaster Creativity sound card is a force to be reckoned with. Known for their high-quality sound, this card delivers exceptional audio performance. However, it's worth mentioning that I've had some issues with their headphones, so I wouldn't recommend investing in those. Stick to the sound card, and you won't be disappointed.
Pros:
- Exceptional sound quality
- Enhances overall audio experience
Cons:
DVD Burner and Copying DVDs
For those looking to copy DVDs or burn their own, the DVD burner I recently purchased is a great option. Priced at around $70, it offers a lot of functionality and is definitely worth the investment. With features like lightscribing, this burner allows for easy disc copying and customization. It's a valuable addition to any computer setup.
Pros:
- Affordable and feature-rich
- Enables DVD copying and lightscribing
Cons:
Power Supply: Antec 750 Watt
When it comes to power supply, the Antec 750 Watt is more than capable of meeting my computer's needs. There is no need to go for the higher wattages like 800 or 1000, at least not yet. Antec is a reliable company known for delivering great products, and this power supply is no exception. It provides ample power for all the components, ensuring smooth operation.
Pros:
- Sufficient power for the computer's needs
- Reliable and high-quality
Cons:
Sound System: 5.1 Surround Sound
To immerse myself in the world of audio, I invested in a 5.1 surround sound system. I bought it for $120 when it first came out, and it has been going strong ever since. Even with heavy usage, it hasn't burned out and continues to deliver excellent sound quality. If you're looking to invest in a sound system, I highly recommend this one.
Pros:
- Immersive 5.1 surround sound experience
- Durable and long-lasting
Cons:
Camera: Nikon D700
For capturing all those amazing moments, I decided to go with the Nikon D700 camera. Priced at $700, it offers outstanding image quality and overall performance. The camera's build and image stabilization are top-notch, making it a great investment for Photography enthusiasts like me.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- Solid build and image stabilization
Cons:
Case: Nvidia Fanboy Case
As an Nvidia fanboy, I couldn't resist getting a case that reflects my love for the brand. The Nvidia fanboy case is truly phenomenal, and I love everything about it. The design and aesthetics are on point, and it perfectly houses all my components. It has received rave reviews on YouTube, with many users giving it a five-star rating.
Pros:
- Exceptional design and aesthetics
- Accommodates all components effectively
Cons:
Cooling and Fan Setup
One of the key aspects of maintaining optimal performance is proper cooling. In my case, I have a total of six fans to ensure efficient heat dissipation. The two fans at the top expel hot air, while the fan on the side panel and the ones at the bottom provide cool air intake. This setup creates a good airflow within the case, which is crucial for keeping temperatures in check.
Pros:
- Effective heat dissipation
- Maintains optimal operating temperatures
Cons:
RAM and Cooler
While I'm currently using four gigs of RAM, I have plans to upgrade to a total of eight gigs. The RAM I'm using performs exceptionally well and comes at an affordable price. Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the brand on HAND, but I'll be sure to provide that information in a future video. Additionally, I have a cooler from Thermaltake, which has served me well. However, I recently purchased water cooling and I'm excited to install it and see how it performs.
Pros:
- Affordable and efficient RAM
- Reliable Thermaltake cooler
Cons:
Conclusion
Building my own computer has been an exciting journey, and I'm thrilled with the performance of each component. From the Enforce 790 ISLI motherboard to the GeForce 9800 GTX graphics card, every piece has played a crucial role in delivering a powerful and efficient system. With proper cooling and additional upgrades, I'm confident that this setup will continue to exceed my expectations for years to come. So, if you're considering building your own computer, don't hesitate to dive in and create a setup tailored to your needs.
