Posted May 6, 2014 Author UPDATE! Tons of parts were picked up, going to post soon! Everything is here, just the GPU that needs to be picked up at some point soon. Trouble is, I'm not going to be building this system until the weekend, so I might not be posting pictures of building, only pics of parts for now. But yeah, everything is ready for me, I just need to get to building! | ABSTRACT760BUILDLOG | RUMIKARIMU'SPORTFOLIO | G290XBUILDLOG || ____ | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
