Hey guys. I haven't updated my PC in a while so i thought it was about time to get something new going for my gaming PC. I sat down and put it all together in an hour or two with a budget of $3000 - $3500 (US). My last build was pretty... well black. Not much of a color scheme, so this time I was thinking about something more RGB (leaning most towards light blue) Parts might change by the time I get all the bits and pieces together, and I am opened to suggestions and comments.

Thanks, I actually did cable management on my fiend's PC the other day too because it was driving me insane, i like my cables looking nice everywhere hahaha

Nice I didnt even think about that

Thanks.... Took me a while.... theres quite a bit of a space in the back to hide cables so i had a lot of room to work with

I just realized that today as well.... I think the case came with the bracket to hold it up, I'll have to double check TT^TT

ugh

Ok, so this is my very first PC build, and I must say it probably took me longer to pick parts for the PC than an actually building it took. I spent about $1850.00 on just the tower itself and I'm very proud of what I accomplished, and so I figured I would share with you guys the end product... Any why did i decide to build a PC? Well I'm a gamer and integrated graphics on a laptop were just not cutting it, simple as that.... With the taxes coming up and me starting school i decided it was time for a MAJOR upgrade. Big thanks to anyone on the forum who helped me with deciding on the parts PcPartPicker http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ciema17/saved/xsvmP6 CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Storage: Crucial MX100 512GB / Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Case: Corsair Air 540 PSU: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold PS Just a quick FYI for everyone who is considering buying be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, its super sexy... its super quiet... Its a B**TH! to install!!! I'm a very small person with small hands and I needed to ask one of my friends for help.... took us few ungodly contraptions ideas and 30 min to put the thing on and I WILL CRY if i ever have to remove the thing... -_______- ***UPDATE 2-27-2016*** Since my PC just hit a 1 year mark I figured I'd post a quick update. PC is still running great! No parts failed, no issues, still SUPER quiet. Case does get quite dusty inside but I have no issues with cleaning it without the need to pull out any parts.

I think I'll just see (AND PRAY??) if Newegg (or anyone else) has some Z97-G55 SLI LOL

Well i was looking into Asrock Z97 Extreme6 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157500&cm_re=asrock_extreme6-_-13-157-500-_-Product just want entirely sure what people experience with it was.

I'll look into this one, thanks

I was looking into Z97-G55 SLI but i dont think i could find any in stock online
