So i thought i would finally show off my build. Quick things. I took these pics with a go pro so i couldnt see what i was caping and some are a little blurry because im not very steady.

My rig is in my sig other than a corsair TX750m an Asrock extreme 4 mobo and the bitfenix fans. (also bitfenix cable extensions)

I like the way it looks in the dark as the blue led fans dont make it bright they kind off just make a light glow :)

 

 

Planned upgrades. 

EVGA SuperNova 850w.

NZXT Kraken x61 w/ corsair SP140 blue

5770k (or 5670k depending on financial situation)

MSI or ASUS motherboard.

 

Pics. (the window is really reflective so i took it off for the first 2 pics :P)

:o I made an imgur account just for this because the pics where to big and its the easiest way to do this :P

The cable management for the front IO and audio is a bit hard with the 450D but with the window in you cant see the wires because its slightly tinted

I dont have a pic of the back because its not pretty. (the back panel isn't on which is why i want a fully modular PSU) also its where the ssd is.

Corsair fans are trash, don't buy them. The stock fans are better.

Did you do it yourself or buy them? If you bought them are they the new PCCG extensions? 

 

BTW, going to an EVGA PSU isn't an upgrade, go with a semi-passive one, or a silverstone gold strider.

 

Edit: Just read Bitfenix extensions -_-

The EVGA psu is gold and modular. I did my research and its extremely good also i dont care for noise.
