Get an asus board better components. Also get a 650w corsair psu.

the GD-65 is a great board, spending all that extra money on boards to me is pointless.

Haha, it's all good. I would go for the GD-65 over an Asus board any day. Cheaper, looks nice, good on-board audio(though I would never utilize) I use amps, and a DAC.

Looks really nice and clean, I love the GD-65 and the PSU cover looks awesome. That said I think you overdid it a bit with the red LEDs, white LEDs would have made the colours pop better red LEDs make it look a bit bland.

Did golden heatsinks convert you?

Looking pretty good. Though my brain hurts a little, I have that cooler, and the color of the fan cable really annoys me, haha

 

I'll be swapping mine out for a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 sometime though.

Why aren't you running your 24pin power cable through the cable management slot? O.o

Other than that it looks nice :D

Everything looks really nice except that cooler... You should get a phantek cooler or something, add more "bling" to it.

Nice build.

 

I like the finish on the PSU Shroud. Personally would of made it longer to cover the whole PSU and put some cut outs in it with red perspex behind and drop some lights there. also like the Sticker placement!

 

As for the 24pin, I assume its not run through the cable managment as it doesn't line up right with them and you wouldn't get that nice perpendicular loop of the cable.

 

You mention a custom water-cooled loop. any idea on which way you will go? Clear blocks and tubes with coloured coolant or clear and coloured tubes? Also are you running any lighting?

He's probably got the cable running like that to keep it sort of horizontal as the cable management holes are just above and just below the 24pin slot. Though it wouldn't detract from the look if it did go through one of the slots.
