With the name, I am assuming watercooling will be involved? Either way, awesome build, cant wait to see the finished product.

 

Edit: I'm really stupid, just saw the H100i in there, lol

Yeah, it's called Poseidon because of a little cool thing you will see later on. Custom Liquid will probably be added later on.

Tbh, when I saw the title I thought it would have one of the Poseidon cards, and crazy watercooling. I'll stick around for the updates when they come.

Nice, hope it all arrives alive.

Remove that sticker from the intel lan

UPDATE: Today I ordered the RAM, SSD and power supplyt and expect it with in 4-7 days. Can't wait

[AdamPerez]

Hey guys, I have added the PSU, RAM and SSD, and have managed stuff, but don't count on any updates any time soon. My dog, my best friend I've had since I was 4 died today.

[AdamPerez]

Everything has been ordered! The GPU and CPU will be here today! I am also going to post pics today of what I've done so far. (sorry for the slow updates!)

[AdamPerez]

My amazing looking RAM!

I love movies so I opted for a Blu-Ray/CD drive

H100i as you might be able to see it has very little clearance

Overall shot I did my best with Cable management and I am actually really satisfied with it

PSU, RAM and SSD

My PSU, before people rage I went with the 1000w because I plan on SLI'ing and I wanted to go with a little bit more than I needed. (I don't care if you think it's a waste, it's my computer)

Last picture is the SSD mounted, it looks beautiful mounted!

 

I do apologize for the quality of the pics, I do not have a professional camera, all I have is my phone.

[AdamPerez]

Got my card and CPU in yesterday. Pictures incoming!

 

CPU box and inside packaging of GPU which I liked a lot

The beautiful 780 Ti itself

Card put in, cable management looks shite at the moment.

Shitty close up of card

I wasn't lying about cable management

All together like a big happy powerhouse of a family!

With panel on

Panel off

 

Yeah this was a pretty bad build log, but! There is more to come once I get my windows 8.1 disk and get my monitor (The old Vizio one not my new BENQ as it has not come yet) and I am super excited!

I'm just saying your psu is overkill the corsair 860 would of been good for sli and would still have headroom maybe you could of got a lower wattage psu for less money and added that to get a 250gb ssd, tbh i dont think 120gb ssd is enough imo.

R4s! R4s everywhere!

[adriel604]

jealous of your GPU!

 

Suggestion:  mount ssd in the back and put hdd in 5.25" bay then take out all your hard drive caddies = more air flow + cleaner cable management

As I've already said I decided on it because I'd like to have too much than biting the bullet at maybe 800W overall because on a 780 Ti Classified the max power draw was near or above 400.

I was thinking about that too but as stupid as it may sound I like the look of it in the front (the SSD I mean) and I am probably going to take the drive-bays out.

What can I say, it's a great case.

I understand.  My previous case I was flaunting my ssd too.  Whatever floats your boat

[_wky]

It is, I use one for my build.

1000Watt? Jesus man! I hope your SLIing
