This is a new updated build from my old NZXT Phantom 410. While the 410 worked great as a case, the airflow in the R5 is much better, the sound proof, and everything is much better!

 

I upgraded from a CM Hyper 212 Evo to a Corsair h105, kept the same motherboard and cpu. Sold my Gigabyte 770 to a friend that wanted to SLI, and got myself a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 970. So far it powers everything on ultra at above 60fps.

 

Also upgraded my Power Supply from a Raidmax (I know, they're not a good PSU manufacturer) and got myself a Seasonic Platinum. I was originally gonna get the EVGA G2 like my buddy has, but it was too long and didn't allow me to put a 140mm fan on the bottom. I know I'm stubborn but Seasonic is one of the best PSU makers out there along with the EVGA G2.

 

I'll add more pictures later on.

 

I've been thinking about moving the radiator to the front. Does anyone have any experience with this? And can I do a push/pull setup in the front. I have 2 Noctua ippc 140mm fans in the front right behind the dust filter so I don't know if that hinders aynthing
