Greetings all!

 

So my rebuild of my PC has begun and this is a few pics of it right now.  The 3rd pic is actually before I started to redo anything

 

Original Build:

I7-2600K

Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3

2x4GB DDR3 corsair vengeance blue @ 1600MHz

60GB SSD

CM HAF 932 Blue

CM GX 650 80+ Bronze

Samsung DVD-RW

GTX 480

 

Early upgrades:

OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD

Samsung 840 Pro

CM Hyper 212

Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X

 

Recent upgrades:

MSI Z77 Mpower Big Bang

4x4GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance (swapped my blue kit with a customer thought his kit was bad, turns out it was a wireless card) so I ordered another 2x4GB kit

 

Future upgrades:

Replace side with a window side panel

 

Custom water loop w/

-360x120x60MM Radiator

-XSPC Raystorm Block

-Blue Tubing

-Black Chrome Fittings

-Swiftech 655 D5 Laing pump

-XSPC Bay Res

(Going to have to remove my DVD drive all together most likely to put the pump on the lowest 5.25 bay)

 

3x Bitfenix Spectra Pro 120MM Blue LED Fans

1x Bitfenix Spectra Pro 120MM Blue LED Fan

1x Bitfenix Spectra Pro 230MM Blue LED Fan

 
1-2TB Storage drive caching from the Samsung 840 Pro (selling the vertex 3)
 
GPU will either be a GTX 780 Lightning, 2xGTX 770 ROG Poseidon's or 2 HD 7950 water blocked with a fat 140x140x45-60MM rear radiator.  Haven't decided yet.  Alot of this will be a waiting game for money.  Due to unemployment I don't make a ton of money sadly.  But it's enough to get by if I save.

Looks good. Could use a little more cable management though. ;)  

It would look much cleaner if the routing holes were covered.  Makes it look much sloppier.

well you could just tie the cables down so that they aren't showing through the cable routing holes.

 

I did it in a Zalman Z11 mid tower,pretty sure it's doable in a full tower case.

Gonna wait until I water cool to reroute all of the cables.
