Project Foxtrot

Ok so first i'd light to make clear, yes it's expensive for what's in it because i crammed a lot in it. There, now that that's out of the way...

 

Sorry for the bad quality, lighting in my room sucks -__-

I started out with a PC i bought on ebay for $170 that was pretty sketchy. As you can imagine, it didn't have much but a AMD Athlon X4 640 cpu and a Radeon HD4830 graphics card and everything else was pretty basic.  Replaced it one part at a time and ended up with the PC you see below. It's an ongoing project of mine and will be for quite a while as i still have a lot i need to do. 

I used the NZXT S340 Elite as the case due to it being a reasonable price and glass window, plus I've used it before and just absolutely loved it (used it when it was just the acrylic window). I tinted the window using 20% window tint. Albeit a little dark, the Hue+ on the inside make it look pretty good. I may replace the tint with either 35% or 50%. Probably 50%.... 

Also i'd like to note than i'm currently renting the RX 480 from Cutting Edge Gamer due to monthly payments only being $35 a month. I plan on using buyout option to be able to keep it (basically the terms is for 12 month but if i pay an extra month card is mine to keep). Not bad i think but it does come out overpriced, but i'm not worried about it. Didn't break the bank initially to buy it so I'm happy :3

 

lemme know of any suggestions or minor tweaks you'd like to see! (The white LED fans are being replaced soon, so keep that in mind :P)

With the amount you are paying for that GPU, you could've easily gotten a 4790K and Rx480... you realize you have a locked CPU on a Z-series board under water, which makes no sense.

i fully understand what i could have gotten but I rented to save the money up front and to help build credit.

and yes i know the CPU is locked. I went ahead and did Z series and liquid cooling because i only paid like $150 for the 4590. It's called planning ahead
