Upgrading a few custom liquid cooling items to accompany the new CPU socket.

 

That's all for the upgrade at the moment until I save up for some GPU's again.  This time they will be of the 980/Titan black area of performance.

 

This rig is going to be used for gaming, rendering, CAD, graphic design.  Now all i gotta do is get a monitor worthy of running such a system as well.  Right now I'm running an ASUS 24" 60hz TN panel.  One step at a time I suppose! Lemme know what you guys think!

Why such a large wattage PSU? You do plan to keep the 660ti setup, or upgrade those as well?

I do plan to upgrade the GPU set up, within the next 4-5 months.  I went higher on the PSU for that reason alone. I plan to be using GPU hardware that will need the overhead at peak performance.

Sorry, I must have overlooked the part where it said you will upgrade the SLI setup. Well it looks like a very nice upgrade. You really should upgrade your monitor now to nothing less than 1440p.

Yeah that's the plan, this monitor I'm running is the same monitor I picked up when I initially had a 560Ti a while back.  It's a sad monitor at this point indeed, lol.
