Putting together a new tower


Sapper

Recommended Posts

I am tired of upgrading my components on my desktop so I am going to splurge and get a new rig together.

I need to stay on the cheaper side, and have honestly not gotten into hardware reviews in 10+ months. I wanted to check and see if any of you guys have ordered from newegg recently and have enjoyed what they have gotten (anything and everything)?

Yep, a nice case is a must. Here is the one I got about 6 months ago with my last build. Lot's of room and won't break the bank. Great air flow with up to 7 fans. I also like that the psu is on the bottom. This has plenty of room for any video card on the market today.

That doesn't look like it would fit most computer tables. :|

I picked up one of these as an open box special for $545 for the g/f for xmas.

Had to replace the pooty psu in it already, and the ram is only 1333mhz. But other than that, you couldn't build that pc that cheap.

I haven't seen a game it wouldn't devour yet at 1920 resolution.

My next rig will probably be an ibuypower i7 open box. Just plan on replacing that psu asap.

Why do you need 2 computer cases?

Pretty much the same machine I gave the g/f for xmas, except I only paid $550. $630 counting psu.

I'd get better ram than 1333 if I were building it from scratch.

I ordered some pieces off amazon separately, so I put this together as a mockup for them to be in one place and accidentally doubled up the cases, but didn't order 2 :)

I'd get better RAM and a bigger HDD. The prices on HDD's really make 1TB easily feasible as the price jumps between the successive hard drives aren't really that high.

I've found newegg to be fantastic in all aspects.

Though there are rumors that they artificially inflate the reviews of certain products by removing bad reviews.

Probably because most reviews are completely stupid and people will rate something 3 stars just because they didn't know how to install it.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
