Hey Guys,

This is going to be a thread dedicated to me buying all the components for my new Gaming PC which is going to cost around £1200.

This thread will be kept up to date with all the parts as they are delivered as well as me creating the actual computer its self.

I'm going to need alot of help i reckon building this machine as i have a feeling YouTube videos alone wont suffice :)

Day 1:
AsRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard; Just arrived in the mail below.
Looks promising. box is very aesthetically pleasing :)

Have fun with your 4+1 phases or whatever ridiculous number it is.

Thanks man!

My only real concern is getting the MOBO into the case, installing the water cooling and formatting the hard drives and the sata drives to work :/

What is so special about your build? Do you think that building a computer is an amazing feat and we are all extremely interested?

And why would you order one part at a time...that is pretty stupid.

I like this thread. I like that people are making build logs. It opens up space for people to share tips about building and such.

The only gripe I see is the whole "Follow this thread :)"

No. Fuck you. Don't tell me what to do! 🤭

But nonetheless, I like it. Just don't force it 🙂

You really should not buy parts one by one...

What if the motherboard that you just bought doesnt work? You wont know until after u make the build... Which might be well after the warranty...

What are you talking about? 4+1 is amazing! You REALLY are getting the best bang for your buck!

What wrong with 4+1 power phases? Many people can get 5Ghz OC with ease on that motherboard.

Doesn't the Extreme4 Z77 have a 8+4 power phase, unless I am mistaken or missing something here?

The motherboard does have an 8+4 power phase I just checked the manual to clear the confusion up ;)

Straight from the egg.

Digi Power Design, 8 + 4 Power Phase Design

So this board is ready to overclock like a champ.
