Hey Guys! After patiently waiting for the past few months for Galax's GTX 980 Hall of Fame cards to come out, my all White & Black X99 themed build has finally been completed! This build  is aimed to be as "elegant" , clean, quiet , and aesthetically pleasing as possible. As far as what I'm going to be using this build for is high - end 1440p 144hz gaming at Ultra settings on my RoG Swift, as well as video editing and rendering work Im currently working on in College. Anyways I really hope you guys enjoy this build just as much as I do! Cheers! :D
