Hi Everyone 

I joined the forums awhile back... long time ago. Were i asked the community about some tips for building a rig :) 

Here - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/193355-upcoming-pc-upgrade-advice/

I then asked some tips on the water cooling aspect 

Here - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/228368-water-cooling-check-list-corsair-900d/

So now after a long time due to (exams, work & reasons ;) ) here is my build log with images :) 

Specifications of entire gaming station (I use it for work but its mainly for gaming but TAX deductible hehe ) 
(I made a spread sheet, here is a screenshot)

Thanks to everyone who helped me with getting the right parts especially the size of fittings and pipes   :) big props 

Love Gaming on this now @1440p 144FPS @ ULTRA :)  (Everything excpet AC: Unity)

So since unit runs like dog and i average 70fps i decided to run a 10m HDMI Cable to my TV and a wireless XBOX controller with vsync on.

It was really nice to build with so much room for activities :)

I could imagine that ;)

That annoying price tag is what kills it for me everytime I get about looking at it :D

That's always a risk when not using compression fittings and nothing to secure the tubing. :P

Well thats the the thing i got helped with, i got tube that was smaller than the fitting and used boiling water to melt it a bit and fit it on. the fittigs have multiple barbs and the rubber tube has molded into it. Nothing is popping off. 

Plus when i had to take one off coas it was too long i had to cut, couldn't rip it off, its never going to get to boiling point too.
