Er...what sort of mistakes do you think you made there lol? (not criticising, genuinely curious, this looks great to me). |
I was forced to build it earlier than I wanted due to my old PC exploding. That meant I had a good bit of cash less at hand than what I would've had right now.
That means I had to skimp on the CPU. Actually I promised myself after the i5 disaster with my last PC I would never ever compromise on a CPU ever again. I think I'd be happier with a 6900k or 7700k in my rig right now. Not that the 6850k is underperforming but it does just feel like a compromise.
I also made the stupid decision of getting a 650W PSU. That is much too big for single GPU and just a bit too small for SLI. Next time I'm going 750 for sure.
I still haven't yet my 960 Pro SSD for my games I wanted. It's still not released here which means my games have to run on my old 940 Pro.
My 4x 3TB Barracudas are still the old ones from my file server and they don't even have their own RAID controller. I had to use Win 10 storage spaces. I think my next storage will be 2x 10TB in Raid 1 and hopefully with a real RAID controller.
The mainboard is weird too. The plastic covering for the sound chips interferes with any GPU I put in. I wonder what kind of moron designed that.
The case did not come with enough USB3 headers so as of now 2 of my 4 USB3 connectors on the top of the case aren't functional.
I am not a person who likes building PCs, in fact, I go out of my way to avoid opening my case after I built it. So all these issues will probably remain until I build a new PC in 2 years or so. By then I should have saved enough to get myself a custom built one that I didn't have to touch myself.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
