Hi, thanks for viewing my build. I recently upgraded my build and thought I'd go ahead and show it off a little bit. I'll provide a pcpartpicker link below for more information. As far as complaints go about this build, I cannot think of any. I'm very pleased with the build, and am happy how it turned out. I'd like to eventually throw in another GPU and SSD when I get the extra cash, I've run out of memory after installing GTA 5 haha. It would have been nice to have Dominator platinum but I started building this when DDR4 was fairly new and when the DDR3 platinum's still held their value. I just decided to alternate with the black and white corsair vengeance LP's. This computer keeps very cool, never gets hot. Great build, very proud of it. I'd like to hear your thoughts and recommendations below. Thanks.

My Deathadder and Kraken aren't chroma sadly, I actually got the keyboard for free. I have a friend who was kind enough to send me one.

Nice build.

If you get a chance, you should mod that geforce LED to become white...so that way I will match your theme more...

 

But I got to say, it's a VERY Clean build.

I was thinking of doing that. I watched a video on YouTube and it doesn't seem hard to do. I will probably end up doing this in the near future, and thanks.

Since there is spare pci-e slots below the gpu do you intend to add a pci-e SSD card in the future or a large M.2 drive so all your files / games etc are on super fast SSD? i think it would be nice once you can afford to, plus no wires as its direct mount.

and can you tell me what FFS your getting with the 970 GTX? i just placed the order for my strix, and thank you to the person (revolt train) for there post as it contained the parts picker list with a link to an amazing deal on a Strix 970, free shipping to Canada and customs is on $28 so no hidden costs like you get normally when Canadian's buy stuff from America.

so yeah it will be interesting what my new "Earth build" rig will perform like once i got the strix in there,

 

also like the way you choose 2 white and 2 black memory modules :)

got to love Asus components
