I must apoligize for the poor picture quality as they were taken on an iPhone, The Red LED's have been washed out a bit due to the camera flash but i positioned the LED strips so it gives more of a glow than an overpowering glare but im tempted to switch to white LED's not sure what colour would you guys go for on this build? Anyway moving on the last thing to be done is upgrade from the current i5 4670K to the i7 4790K.

I don't like the red light, maybe cuz is just a abit or idk, just doesn't fit for me, white would be more nice I belive.. But is a beast!! How much did it cost you? 

The blood on to your heart start pumping faster when you notice me.


But is ok.


Judge me for my nickname, my avatar and for the low amounts of posts I have. I will keep your heart beat raised.

Yeah i had the red LED's left over from a previous build i think i will switch to white soon! Roughly £1800 if you count the i7 4790K when i upgrade next month and forget the i5 probs about £1950
