Hi, Im gonna just get down to how this build came to be then show off a little. About one year ago I decided that my awesome gaming laptop that I had picked up was just not cutting it in terms of noise, performance, and monitor refresh rate. So I saved all of my money and now, now here is my first build that I have dubbed, Modern "Art". I hope you enjoy.

 

SPECS:

Intel I7 5820K

Asus X99 Deluxe

Ripjaws Series 4 16GB at 2133

EVGA GTX 960 SSC

Phanteks Enthoo Luxe

Enermax Liqtech 240

Corsair AX860

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

 

BONUS:

Cablemod sleeved cables (except for the 24pin, they had to send me that separately).

All corsair fans

Phanteks lighting

Benq XL2420G

Corsair K70 (MX Reds)

DX Racer Formula chair

No offense but, X99 5820K but only a GTX 960? It is also well put together and cable managed.

1 monitor is never enough

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Probably for rendering ( I hope )

lol yep...this seems to be a gaming centric build, too much money spent on a CPU that wont make gaming any better where it could have been spent on a nicer GPU.

pc specs: 4 function calculator / 8 digit lcd display / colored numeric and function buttons

I see why you think that and the reason I went with only a 960 for now is because at the moment I dont really play to many intensive games (CSGO) but in the future I will upgrade to something better for games such star citizen.

Looks really nice man :D

Good cable management from what I can see. I dig that you route your GPU power cables up, instead of down :D

You can take a picture of your setup too and post it here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/

Do you use CUDA acceleration at all?

That's what I had in mind, I would probably do something like that as well. Beautiful build BTW.
