I know you're upgrading the stock cooler but that needs to happen now when you have the name Lord Gaben. :P Other than that I think you have a pretty nice built although I don't entirely agree with the case and how certain parts don't match. 

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

It's about the noise it makes doing that.

 

Anyways, a shame that the cxm series was used with its bad secondary CapXon Capacitors :(

also, clean your monitor, Lol

Yeah I have since I built the desktop, it was a spare monitor that had been sitting around for months because I was using a laptop that only had two monitor output and they were both being used, so now I have a triple monitor set-up :)

Nice one!  Slap an SSD in there and it'll be greater. than it already is.

 

I recently built my pc too!  It feels SO AMAZING once its finished and working :)

Yeah I know, I am getting a Noctua CPU Aircooler first but after that I will get a Samsung 840 Evo 500GB, Yeah I know what you mean i felt like that when I first booted it :)

EDIT:I had to black out some of the info on the labels so people cant get my Serial Number.

 

What?

 

I don't like mismatched colours and it looks a little messy. Suppose you can't do too much with that due to the case.
