    Welcome to my build rig, this is also my introduction into the LTT forums  :lol: When I was researching for parts I stumbled upon Linus' YouTube channel and thus I am posting my rig here  ;) Why Risky Waterbird? Well, I used a random project name generator, but it actually fits, because this is the first time that I have water running inside of my computer case  :P
     
    After 6.5 years of duty, I decided to retire my old Conroe E6600 / GeForce 8800GTS rig and build a new one with the release of Haswell. My old case was an Antec Ninehundred and the cable management job I did was terrible. I had a non modular power supply, and the case offered no cable management help whatsoever.
    Other things I wanted to have in my build was:

    - Watercooling options
    - mATX form factor
    - Plenty of power for gaming and HD video editing
     
    After saving enough money I chose this part list:

    CPU: Intel i7-4770K
    GPU: GigaByte GeForce GTX 780 OC with Windforce3 cooler
    MB: Asus Maximus VI Gene
    CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i
    Case: Corsair Obisian 350D
    SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
    HDD: Salvaged 1 TB WD from old rig
    RAM: Kingston 16 GB HyperX DDR3 1600 MHz
    PSU: Corsair AX760
    Extra fans: 2x Corsair SP120



    Let me tell you it was an absolute blast building this rig into the 350D  ^_^ So much ease in cable management.
     
    Please tell me what you think :D
