To the parts list, I'd add the bit phoenix alchemy lighting strips... It's the one thing I was looking for. No idea how to install them... wish me luck.

I'm curious, this was 2 years ago, is this build still considered overkill today? I hear a lot of people using the 4770k or even the 4790k even over the newer 2011v3 ones. Would this build still kill with the newer games now?

@LinusTech Is the waterblock for the Titan X and 1080 TI by EKWB able to work with this overkill rig?
