The Stormtrooper [New build]

[TheQuadSquad]

Hey! just got my brand new pc built and thought I'd show it off. I was going for a black and white themed built and thought it turned out fairly well. Sadly, I ended up having to ditch the fan that  I ordered due to missing screws and some clearance issues. I would have gone with a water cooler, but I knew a friend that had a Corsair H100i that leaked all over his 780TI and ruined it so I wasn't going to take the chance. I'll write the specs to my build below, and will also post a link to my build with pcpartpicker.com.

I plan on upgrading, the cooler that I ordered had missing parts to it so I just installed the stock cooler for now.
