Red and Black "Build Log"

So over the course of about two years I have slowly put together my computer. I had a tight budget when I first purchased parts so I bought cheap parts that I later replaced for better ones. While I was in the main building phase I wasn't a member of the forum and as such I didn't bother making a build log or taking pictures. Now that I am on the forum and fairly active I figured I'd put a "build log" together of my computers current status. I'm happy with it, but there is still more that I have planned for the future, and any future changes I make I will be posting on this log. Eventually I will get a 1TB SSD, water cool the CPU and GPU with hard acrylic tubing and red water, get a new GPU whenever nVidia decides to release a GPU with a smaller lithography, and I will soon be getting myself a ROG SWIFT since I'm an avid gamer :).

Thanks, my plan is to eventually get a custom loop in it so I don't really feel like buying an AIO yet. It stays under 85C at full load so I'm happy for now :)
