Zoe - mATX Haswell & 780 build!

So, I finally got enough money to build my first computer, and yeah, this is what happened. I decided to go with mATX because, well, I just love Corsair's cases, and I fell in love with the 350D as soon as I saw Linus unbox it. I knew I wanted to go with a green color scheme, because, that's simply my color. 

 

Aaaaand, just a quick note about the name.. Zoe has been a name that has always stuck with me. From the days of SSX on the old Xbox. Yeah, the perfect name for my little baby Cx

 

*I just noticed that there was another build called ZOE. I did not know that when I came up with the name, I just randomly went through topics on the forum, and it had been on Build logs of the week*

 

Case - Corsair Obsidian 350D

CPU - Intel Core I7 4770K (not overclocked yet)

Cooler - Corsair H100i (Stock fans at the moment)

MOBO - Gigabyte G1 Sniper M5

RAM - Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 Gigs

PSU - Corsair AX 760i (Individually sleeved cables too)

GPU - Gainward Geforce GTX 780

SSD - Samsung 840 PRO

HDD - WD Green 3 TB

Lighting - NZXT Sleeved LED Kit

2 Things I'm going to point out about this picture. Firstly, I decided to mount the radiator to the right because I just love the look, but the 5.25" bays are kind of in the way, which makes it look a little bit dodgy. Also, I've tried to remove the Corsair logo on the PSU, but there's still adhesive on it. The red logo just wouldn't fit with the build.

Picture of that 780. I'm pretty happy with how the cables look in the front (not in the back though, haha) The LED strip doesn't look too great as it is right now though.

The system powered on. The thing I dislike about the motherboard is the diagnostics LED. The red light doesn't fit in, and it annoys me... Haha, I haven't checked in the bios if you're able to turn it off, but yeah.

Also, I'm not a great photographer, therefore the mediocre image quality.

Closeup on the system powered on. Here you can really see that LED I was talking about..

Aaaand the last one, with the side panel on. One thing to note, the 8-pin is a bit more messy because the picture was taken before I tidied it up :P

 

She's going to be tidied up even more. Better cable management and new fans are on the list. Not really important at the moment though.

:D Thank you! I know, they might not have been placed properly, or it's the fact that I had them on the lowest brightness without even knowing it.. xD

SSX Tricky, easily one of the best games ever made. ;)

 

Anyways, yeah, sweet build!  The mobo, RAM, and GPU all work together so well.  Any particular reason you didn't go all green on the cables?  The white does look pretty good, though.

 

And yeah, some isopropyl alcohol will get that adhesive right off.  I mean it won't be instant but it'll come off.

Intel Core i7-7700K | EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW | ASUS ROG Strix Z270G Gaming | 32GB G-Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200 | Corsair AX860i

Haha, I remember SSX On Tour :P 

 

To be honest, it wasn't my choice to go with white cables.. The company I ordered most of the stuff from sent me white cables instead of green, and I couldn't be bothered to send them back.. Haha, I liked how it looked so I kept it.

 

I'll get on the isopropyl alcohol later then! Thank you :D

They were on the lowest setting when I took the pictures, and that's how I like them, but thanks for the suggestion :)

Nice! To get the adhesive off you can get a bottle of "Goo Gone". It works really well, you only need a little bit to get all that off of there. And it smells like oranges! :p

I have a laptop that sucks because I'm broke.

Food oil is very effective on removing adhesive :P

This is exactly the build I imagined I'd do in the 350D, lovely.

Those cables are awesome, hardly ever see builds with green sleeving. Nice job.

It's Corsair's Sleeved cables, so I didn't do much work with them. Haha. Green is my favorite color, so it made sense to do it! :)

I do believe this the 1st time I've seen 2 different colored sets of the Corsair sleeved cables in one build. Overall, this is pure awesome! Nice work!
