My New PC

The sad fact is that you kinda know when it's time to do some major work to your personal computer at least when it's running windows. Years of updates and installing/uninstalling programs take it's toll so using the time off work to build myself a new PC.

I could take pictures of the internal workings and truth be told the aesthetics of motherboards and other hardware seem to take into account a windowed case but lighting condition are not great so they wouldn't look their best anyway so I didn't bother:)

• Asus Z170 Deluxe
• Core i7-6700K 4.00GHz
• 16GB DDR 4
• 480GB HyperX Predator PCIe SSD
• Be Quiet! Silent Base 800 & 750 Watt PSU

I've used my existing Nvidia 9600 GT graphics card and while it is probably in need of an upgrade I have yet to play a game it couldn't cope with but I'm not that demanding when it comes to cutting edge graphically demanding gaming.

Interesting Shelves

No one has ever claimed I got my own jobs done in a quick and efficient manner, other peoples and those I am paid for are a different matter but my own well not so much but nearly there:)

Yes I still had to make some sacrifices with some novels going to the charity shop to look for a new home and of course I already had 90% of my DVD's ripped to the NAS but the up side this is only 2 and a bit walls...

New desk and monitor

Well I've been decorating, some new shelves and a new desk for my computer and decided to treat myself to a new monitor as well, this is a 27" AOC Q2770PQU and while it came with no instructions and took me a while to figure out it didn't like my existing cable (used the bundled one) everything is working fine. The picture doesn't really do it justice, it's pretty impressive when compared to my old 19" monitor and there is simply so much screen space to work within.
