My First Build!

[DrVendetta]

I built this rig in late December but am just now getting around to uploading the pics of it. I didn't get my graphics card until about 3 weeks after I built the machine, and sadly I didn't have a long enough 8 pin CPU cord (Please Recommend a Good Extender!) The specs are:

 

Graphics Card: MSI Twin Frozr 7850 OC

CPU: Intel 3570k

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LE

Case: Cooler Master HAF 912

RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance

Power Supply: 600W OCZ Modxstream

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

 

(I added a DVD drive from an old system later on.)

 

      If anyone has suggestions for a CPU cooler that could fit with the VERY minimal space between the CPU and RAM, I'm looking to overclock sometime in the future. Also, if anyone knows a fairly cheap and easy way to repaint a case that's something I'm interested in as well, because I feel like the HAF 912 is a good case for that type of project. Thanks for reading and feedback is appreciated!

is there a reason that you are not running the EPS connector behind the motherboard tray? there is clearly space and the cable is long enough?

It looks like it, but it was too short to make it all the way, I'm probably going to get an extender for it because I don't like the way it is now.
