So, I finally made the step and but some of my current PC parts online and sold them.

I sold my Zalman Z11 Plus case with its whopping 7 fans and fancontroller, as well as my old Asus M5A97 Pro motherboard.

With that done, I order some new stuff, and even got myself a new GPU!

First of all, the GPU. I currently have two Sapphire 7950 With Boost and I'm going to trade those for a Asus R9 290.

Seems like a good deal in my opinion, I actually want a single GPU for now.

My new case and motherboard are to arrive today.

The case is a Corsair Carbide 540 Air. Had my eyes on this beauty for some time now and happy I have finally bought it.

The new motherboard is a ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0. It's not an expensive card, but is black (going for black and red theme) and has everything I need.

As said, I'm going for a black and red theme. I already have a Cooler Master V8 which features a red LED, as well as a mouse with red LED in it.

Now with the new case and MoBo, I ordered some red SATA cables with black ends, I'm going to order Corsair AF140 silent fans (and add the red rings) and of course add some more lighting with BitFenix red LED strips.

Let me know what you think. I will post pictures of the build soon.
