First Build!!!!

I have wanted to build a computer for a long time. I finally got fed up with my 4 year old Macbook Pro and instead of buying a new one I decided to build my own. I got the i7-4770K over the i5-4670K because I will be doing video editing and rendering, as well as pretty light audio recording and editing. This will also be used for gaming. I have the H100i in a push pull configuration. I definitely bought too much thermal compound, but its cool since my friends is build a computer soon as well so he can just use what is left over. I really only went for the U3DH because it fit the color scheme of my build. I chose 16GB of Ram of 8 because of the editing and rendering. I probably should have gotten more storage, but since i do have quite a few external hard drives I think i will be fine. I really wanted to get a 780ti, and was planning on getting an EVGA one, but when the price of the Gigabyte card dropped that low I really didn't this I was going to get a much better deal. During the build process, before I put everything into the chassis, I did a test boot to see if it would at least turn on, and it didn't. I then proceeded to spend 30 mins attempting to figure out what was wrong only to realize that I didn't push the RAM dimms in all the way. Also I feel like the PSU cables we a little short for the case, but I was able to make everything work. I also was really worried about cable management, but I think I didn't do an awful job. I will be overclocked my CPU, and my GPU, but I am going to give it a week or so before I do. This is just to make sure I don;t ruin anything before I start to overclock. Currently the monitor I have is the Qnix2710 27" monitor, which so far I am really happy with. Even though I didn't get the perfect pixel one, which I thought I did, It still turned up have no dead pixels and alomst no light bleeding ( as far as I can tell about the light bleeding). Lastly, I want to thank everyone in the pcpartpicker forums for helping me decide what to get, and making sure I don't completely ruin everything by picking dumbly. Thanks so much :D!!!

That is a very very nice build! Especially first build. Was I involved in part picking? It seems like it.

 

Mine was um... not ok.

 

This is why you come to a place like this to get good ideas and tips, mine was um... horrible.

Ah. That's cool.

People always say they are going to do video editing or something when they buy an i7. I just always wonder what for or if they even do it.

Ah. My cablev management is decent. You can see it in the thread "post your cable management" that is my first and current build. I want to move where the 24 pin is but I can not get it unplugged from the motherboard. It's kinda stuck.
