Arctic White and Blue Build!

[Alden]

First, I thank anyone that helped me with some of these upgrade parts! It was a great help!

 

Now onto the explanations!

 

I built this because I had a 4670k + 780 build since 2013, and since I've earned a lot of money during the summer, I thought to myself, maybe it's finally time to upgrade.

I bought the 1080ti back in July of 2017, that's why I got it at msrp, and I was just buying to replace my 780 and wasn't thinking about upgrading other parts.

 

Then all my other friends also started upgrading January, so I thought I should do it too, because my old case is dated and doesn't look very good, also it was also loud, so I bought a new case and some new fans to go alone with it. I was very happy with the results then.

 

Then March came along and I decided to also upgrade the CPU because my CPU is just not working out to what I want anymore (I do video editing and also plays a lot of emulators), I didn't upgrade the CPU for the longest time because it also means I have to upgrade the motherboard and RAM, but in the end I told myself it'll be worth it, and it really did.

 

So I bought the 8700k because I was planning to overclock it, and found out my evo 212 is not cutting it, so 5 days ago, I bought the kraken x62, and also went all out and delidded it and applied LM, because I want to see how far I can go, and today, everything arrived and here I am.

 

This was a long journey, upgrading every component other then my storage, I also bought some led strips on the way, and went with white and blue, also found the green on the "GEFORCE GTX" to be annoying because it's green, so I made it white, every little thing took quite a while, but in the end I'm loving this new computer, my CPU at 5ghz and running prime95 with small FFT only goes up to 70c, while with the evo 212 it goes up to 100c immediately, so yea, loving my new PC!

Very nice, I kinda like blue and white PC's, I redid mine last year into blue and white (see Temporal Snow - Ryzen Refresh in my sig if you're interested, don't wanna post my rig pictures on your build post)
