Hey I have the same case. Looks good but two questions, where's the gpu and why is there a drive on top of the case.

i am not a gamer so i am just using the integrated motherboard graphics, the drive is something i made on to the case so i can plug in 2.5" drives from laptops to transfer files, it is a USB 3.0 connector that came from a seagate portable hdd with a half of a 2.5" external case then i hot glued it on some tape on the case so i would not ruin the case.

 

i love my case, but seemed to be kinda small for the Hyrdo H55, i did place another fan on the bottom that is not pictured too. it was hard to put the second ssd in the ssd slot b/c of the mother boards sata connectors where too high and it would get in the way of the slot, but i got it in there lol don't know can get it out though lol.

That makes sense, but why did you get a such a nice motherboard, k series processor,  650 watt PSU, and liquid cooling since you don't plan to overclock/game? I guess if you want your computer to be quiet the liquid cooling makes sense.

I am wanting to get into the PC business and i didn't know much about OC so i wanted to get something to tinker with and yes i want a quiet one too, also i may game later also i do want to start doing some video editing too

Makes sense. As you learn more and possibly start using applications that utilize gpus efficiently you'll upgrade to that. If you do decide to upgrade to a higher level of win10, I recommend getting it through Kinguin if you haven't done that already or you've never heard of it. Pauls hardware has a great video about that on Youtube and it can save you close to $100.
