Been planning this build for 3 or 4 weeks now, finally got it setup last night. Way over my original budget but I do not regret a thing. Solid system, but not an overkill, here it is.

Specs
-Case: Cosair Graphite 760t

-Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3
-Cpu: Intel Core i7 4790k

-Gpu: Galaxy HOF Gtx 780

-Ram: 2x 8GB Corsair Vegance Pro

-Psu: SIlverstone Strider 1000w

-Cpu Cooler: Corsair H100i

-SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB

-HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

-Fans: 3x Corsair Air Series 120mm & 2x 140mm

 

Peripherals

-Monitors: 3X Acer H236HL

-Wheel: Logitech G27
-Mouse: Corsair M45
-Keyboard: Corsair K50

 

Very happy with how it turned out. No overclock on the CPU or GPU yet although the GPU does come slightly overclocked. Sorry for poor photos, taken from a phone + bad lighting

ikr he really needs a backplate on that thing 

I think it has one.....   but maybe not a full one hard to tell, but there is definitely a metal layer above the PCB.

That HOF would have looked much better in the white 760t. If youre going full black/red a Asus DirectCUII 780 or ROG Poseidon 780 would have matched with everything else perfectly.

In reality it is actually quite a nice contrast. But each to their own
