    After 5 years on the AMD FX platform it was time for an upgrade and since Zen is not ready yet I opted to hop to the blue team for the next one. Some things I kept from my 'old' system, some are new. Below the specs of the new and old
     
    Old:
    Cooler Master V850 80Plus Gold PSU
    Sapphire Radeon R9 280X (waiting for new GPU prices to drop to consider upgrade..)
    Cooler Master Nepton 240M AIO
    3 Enermax TB Apolish fans (love them :D)
    2 Kingston VSSDNow 120GB SSDs 
    Seagata Baracuda 1TB HDD
     
    New:
    Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3
    Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H
    Intel i7 6700K 
    Kingston Hyper X Fury 2133 16GB DDR4
     
    Potential future buys:
    New GPU once prices drop GTX1060/RX 480
    M2 SSD
     
    Here some pics I took in progress and the end result, what do you think :D? 
     
     
    Only issue since I am having is that windows update doesnt update and keeps searching for updates. (See topic in trouble shooting if you have a suggestion :)..)
     
     
    For those wondering about why mATX: I had a Cosmos II previously, try moving that or take it to LAN events! Hernia incoming

    Bramm17 got a reaction from SImoHayha in CM Cosmos II modded Side Panel Window   
    Hey Guys,
     
    What do you think!? 
     
    Since the Cosmos II didnt come with a windowed side panel and/or the option to buy one the only solution was to make it ! Because a high end case with high end hardware needs to be showed off right ! Now time my own GPU 280X incl backplate etc comes back from RMA because this GTX660 is so tiny ! 
     
    Since I am into tech, space, etc the Cosmos name and theme did justice with a graphic design in the acrylic
     
     

     

     
    Just wanted to share! Cuz Im pretty proud of it and like it a lot ! Next step: EK Waterblocks custom loop ?! 
     
    (Sorry for the bad quality pics, they are just taken with my phone!)
     
    Cheers,
    Bram

    GPU update time and I went for the new AMD R9 280X!! I choose the Sapphire Vapor X model because of the nice blue theme that matches the rest of the build nicely.. Only thing I also had to keep in mind choosing a model 280X was the length of the card due to the push-pull on my Seidon 240M... As you can see it is a tight fit but it fits nicely (As measured before ordering )

    It was time to say goodbye to my old low profile-no headspreader slow memory and say hello to my new 16Gb Kingston Hyper X Blue 1600 memory !!
     
    Fits the colors perfectly and I am very happy with it !!

    Just wanted to share these pics about my (re)build I did this weekend... I changed my PC to a new case and added a new CPU cooler. I had my pc in a Zalman Z9 plus before and had a CM Hyper 212 Evo before.
     
    I changed to the Cube, the Cooler Master HAF XB. Its something really different this case and I loved the design. Also I like having it up on my desk and seeing it next to my monitor..
     
    The parts arent the highest end parts because most is over a year old.. Thing I want to add in the future is a new AMD 9000 GPU if they launch near October :D!! I am also thinking of adding some blue LED strips possibly. 
     
    Here are some pics of the steps and the final result:
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    What do you think :D? I kinda hate my PSU cabels so maybe that is also something I will do in the future, some nice sleeving :)
     
    Edit: First complete build :$ :)

    Bramm17 reacted to Tacitus in Good airflow budget-friendly cases?   
    I know they're (PCS+), they'd be my second choice, but they're about £20 more expensive each and I worry the thickness might lead to poorer airflow for the top card. I guess I'll see what's cheaper on the day, but there have been some horror stories about PowerColour's UK customer service/RMA stuff.
     
     
     
    Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I'll take a look at them all
