Project Blue Dragon (subject to change)

[Clanscorpia]

Finally after ages I got a job and my dream for a new PC has come to life! After spending hours browsing the web looking at parts, I've come up with these. I love the colour blue and I knew my PC had to be blue and black. After watching some build logs, I realized the H440 was the case for me. Easily modded, looks awesome, and is from a reputable  brand. Check, check, check. I have tons of future plans for this build. Custom water cooling, custom painting, and some sweet overclocks.

I know I don't have a GPU. This is because I'm waiting for Polaris and Pascal to decide what to buy GPU wise but it's probably going to be the MSI Gaming edition of one and thats what the name is about. I have tons of mods planned for the future and I'll keep everyone updated! If someone could make me a banner that would be awesome . Some parts will be ordered hopefully tonight as well .

I have a feeling this build is going to be good. Subbed

I'm also now thinking of making a custom mechanical keyboard to match the theme. Thanks Ben Heck for the idea!

Update: I'm now going to start with a 6500, not the 6600K, and I'm going for a mobo that supports SLI (And looks amazballs). I may also change the RAM I'm just waiting for the H440 to go back in stock then the ordering begins! Gotta wait 'till easter for the CPU and next january for the GPU ;(
