Special Needs: For Mom so reliability is a must. Saved Ticket #: 876181 Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Digital Storm ODE V3 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 4770K 3.50 GHz (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core) Motherboard: ASUS Z87-EXPERT (Intel Z87 Chipset) (Features Intel Thunderbolt Technology) System Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Dominator DHX (High-Performance) Power Supply: 1050W Corsair Pro Silver 1050HX (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Storage Set 1: 1x (128GB Solid State (By: Samsung) (Model: 840 Pro Series) Storage Set 2: 1x (1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (Model: Black Edition) Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: AIR: Stage 2: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 Extreme Performance H20 Tube Color:- Not Applicable, I do not have a FrostChill or Sub-Zero LCS Cooling System Selected Chassis Fans: Upgrade Chassis With LED Performance Fans (Blue) (Up to 6 Fans) Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue) Airflow Control: Strike-X AeroCool Temperature Display & Fan Controller (Requires Chassis Airflow Upgrade) Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Stage 1: Overclock CPU 4.0GHz to 4.4GHz Boost Graphics Card(s): - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost Memory: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows CD) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 10-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) As I mentioned earlier this will be the third DS comp for the family. First was for Mom back in Dec of 09'. This will be a replacement for her. Her old one will be passed down to one of the grandkids as it still runs great. Mom just wants something new! Any advice would be great. It has been a while since I seriously looked at new comps. But already know it will be a DS or not at all. Thanks for the replies in advance. |

Sweet! A Gaming MOM!!
That rocks!!
The only things I would recommend changing is the the GPU to the GTX 770 (either the 2GB or 4GB). It outperforms on most games over the 7970. Also, with the single GPU, you could use just a 750W PSU - the EVGA is a great choice as it's 100% modular so if it needs replacement, no rewiring required. Otherwise looks like a solid build. And don't forget your FREE t-shirt (or would it be hers?)!

Excellant build with quality parts.
The ODE 600t case with Noctua D14 cooler means well built and reliable. It doesn't need the upgraded fans or fan control, but if its for looks and something to tweek then go for it. I also would go with gtx 770 and the EVGA 750 SuperNova psu for a single card but this setup works for sure. Good luck.
