  1. Bump from the depths of hell, received the GPU water block, CPU water block, and 360mm PE Radiator. Still have to get the 240mm radiator, pump, reservoir, fittings, fluid, pipe! Getting closer to have my baby done every day!
  2. Decided when I do water cooling im going to do copper tubing and then get it chrome plated! Gonna be so in love
  3. Sorry photo quality is awful also, leds cause iPhone cameras to go to crap Also, does anyone know if they make USB 3.0 plugin hubs? Id like to not have to plug in 2 3.0 plugs into the motherboard because its ugly! Thanks
  4. GOT MY 1080, 950 Pro, and TT Ring Fans, Lets just say im in love I love being able to do any color combo i want, pictures dont do this baby justice. Only real things left are go full water cooling and get a 2TB hard drive. Both of which are non essential
  5. Hello, fellow PC-O8 owner. Theres some pictures of people laying the reservoir horizontally on the floor and it looks awesome. Maybe you can fit that? Or youd have to do the corner
  6. New fans are coming in tomorrow as well as my 256gb 950 pro. Have done a lot of sleeving, cut the hard drive cage in half, and a bunch of other mods. Pictures tomorrow!!
  7. Received the CPU today, so shes alive!!! Still have alot of cabling to sleeve such as the USB plugs, multi pin start/audio plug/6+2 pins and multiple other things. Plan to order the new fans tonight probably, heres some pictures to quench your thirst
  8. Thank you sir, greatly appreciate it! Hopefully I can make the build as beautiful as the motherboard and case are!!
  9. Ill keep the pics flowing as long as I get new pieces to be put in there And I just like nice things in general haha
  10. I actually did that for multiple reasons, 1. I wanted a spot for M.2 2. Loved the RGB 3. Motherboard is the home for everything and leaves room for upgrades in the future. 4. Wanted neutral colors 5. Asus Fanboy 6. Water cooling Support on VRAM 7. Don't need anything past 6700k for gaming 8. Love the armor that comes with the motherboard Just a few things I can come with on top of my head
  11. I stuck that in so I could start to get the computer booted up and ready to go, I had it laying around and cant afford 600 worth of water cooling items at the moment haha!
  12. Hit me with some feedback please, would love it!
  13. Added Pictures in the spoiler box on the main post, check em out! I did the custom sleeving myself also, be gentle!!

I built a PC back in 2012 while still in high school but had to make compromises and not fully get what I wanted. This time around, I'm not cutting any corners whatsoever and am building everything to my desires. I'm going to be slowly piecing stuff together since I'm in college and cant afford to purchase it all at once. I will pop in periodically with new pictures and information as it becomes available. I have already purchased a lot, but still have so much to do to make this my dream machine, thanks for looking! Inspiration: I have loved seeing all these RGB builds coming around, however I felt like the problem with that is people commit to a color of build, then when it comes time to change their RGBs to something different, they wont match the rest. This is why I decided to build everything with neutral colors like grey/black. Since my Motherboard/PC/Graphics Card/Fans/Keyboard/Mouse/Mouse Pad all have RGB capability, I figured this way I can make my setup whatever color Id like and it will always match and look good!

  15. Im a huge fan of the way the Phanteks Evolv TG, Corsair 400C and a couple other ones.
  16. Ok that makes sense, I was so confused why someone would invest 620 dollars on RAM while getting last gen video card. If you havent already, I would invest in a better case. With this beautiful/(and expensive) of a build alot of it is presentation and this case makes it look like a 600-1000 dollar build not a 4 thousand dollar beast.
  17. Why in the world did you go 980 TI with the new cards out?
  18. No problems, just love to see new build logs and see how things went for people!!
  19. No problems, good luck with the build! Keep us informed with the Build Log subforum please
  20. Then go for it, it is YOUR build. My upcoming build im using the Lian LI PC-08. It isnt the best at cable management, def not the cheapest at 350 dollars, not the best for watercooling, but I have fallen in love with the way it looks so I stuck on it
  21. Fair enough on the Ram, again I said I was a corsair fanboy but GSKIll makes good stuff also. I would look into another case maybe if I were you. If you are set on it, then go with it. But that case seems very large, clunky, dated, and not up to standards with cable management, the trend has been going to minimal looking cases with functionality and I dont think this hits either of those haha. Just do some research, you some decent room in your budget now so you can get a very solid case like the NZXT H440 or Corsair 400C
  22. This is true, I just never like to go low on power. My new build coming up is way overkill on power also but I just like having the insurance that If i ever want to add, do anything, I have the option
