I must say you will need to do some cable management work as far as I am concerned...

I am not one to judge as my own system isn't all that well managed, but still, I am advising you to put some effort into it.

Also, what fans do you have on the radiator, from the looks of it they are Corsair AF120's, but as they are mounted on a rad you might have wanted SP series fans.

See this for reference.

 

Otherwise you did a good job with the colors.

Looks gorgeous, but whenever I see the build I see that PSU (it's yellow which stands out against the red).

I like it, i maybe would place the CD player one slot down, don't know, maybe just trow it out :) it will make the front much more pleasing to look :)

Thanks guys it's my first build that turned out exactly how I wanted it to look. Yes u are right I need to do better on cable management but this is first time for me doing a cable management so I think is good for first try to hide it all :). On radiator I'm using 2x 120mm SP FANS in front it's 2x 140mm red quiet and back 120m quiet edition. I made a mistake with PSU. I should gotten one with red text or something. But i think im just gonna put a red steel plate to cover the yellow text. I think that would be nice fix.

For the love of god, get some clear fishing line, and tie that GPU to the top of the case. The sag hurts.

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Yeah i know im about to fix that in a few days with some clear fishing line

 

The optical drive ruins it. :(

Such a shame.

 

i have to agree with you but i need it ...

 

UPDATE:

 

Here is how it looks now.. i added few things like "professional individually sleeved dc cable kit" and red LED 60cm stripe (that i did not like at all) its was to bright so i took it off.  and yes i took off that RM750 yellow sticker from PSU.

Now in a few days plan is to fix that GPU sag and to unplug the cable that was for red led stripe and maybe to better job on PCI E cable. What do u think guys?

now all you have to do is fix the sagging graphics card and even the toughest critics on the forum probably won't be able to find anything wrong with it

 

I will post images when its done in a few days...

UPDATE:

 

Well i had some problems with my new pc and it it turned out that my GTX 770 had a problem so i got a new video card the ASUS GTX 970 4 GB and problems are finally gone. Now to celebrate that i took all my PCs that i have in house, my new one , old one and the one that my mom uses for work. I took vacuum cleaner, can of compressed air and started.While i was on it i took some time to change all the terminal paste in my computers, it was a bit of work but worth it at the end. Take a look my moms PC is the worst i did not open that for years.

 

Fist my moms PC. This was mine few years ago... btw do not look at cable management i know its bad :D
