Yes, I just referred to myself in the 3rd person lol
What's up guys. I just wanted to start a build log on my PC as I finally move away from a budget build into a high-endish Z97 build. This will be primarily used for video editing, gaming and hopefully some GPU benchmarking.
I'll be capturing my build and benchmark process on video for you guys to see but for now I wanted to post a few pictures of each component.

^^^ In this video I talk about my reasoning for each part selection.
Parts list is below:
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K
CPU Cooler - be quiet! Dark Rock TF
Motherboard - Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5
RAM - 16GB HyperX Savage 1866MHz (2x8GB)
Storage - 240GB HyperX Savage SSD
Storage - 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
GPU - MSI Radeon R9 290X Lightning
PSU - be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 850W
PSU Extension Cables - Bitfenix Alchemy Black
Case - Phanteks Enthoo Pro White
Thanks to HyperX for supplying the RAM and be quiet! for providing the PSU!
I will say, two things I wish I had for this build were a black mid-tower ATX case and full replacement cables for the PSU. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any help with that but I think the build should still come out pretty clean.
What do you guys think of my part selection? Build video and pictures coming soon!
