First Gaming Build

[CorporalCupcake]

So it's finally time to begin my build log. Moments ago, I ordered my final PC components, which should be due for arrival in about 4 days, so I figure start with what I have. Seeing how I don't quite have all my parts yet, I will have to go back and add to posts to update the log and what not, but the overall topic should be very cleaning looking in the end, once all the blank spots are filled in. Also, seeing how this is my FIRST build, I will also be including my peripherals just because they are a major part of the overall build. Would love some feedback, and to hear what you guys think of the build. It was originally planned to be budgeted quite frugally, but as many a build goes, it escalated when I decided to settle for nothing but top notch components. Thanks for reading guys, here's the build:

The HAF 922 is an awesome case :P I'm using one right now.

Definitely, easy as hell to work with, and very aesthetic, goes great with my theme.

I'll be providing pics as soon as the build begins sometime next week, but I'll also be putting up pics of components in my posts going into detail about my choices.

Why didn't you go with a h100i?

[CorporalCupcake]

The 120mm fans I bought for the cases top vent would be limited light wise to illuminate the inside, or the outside if I used a radiator, and aesthetics was a big part for me. And in all honesty, I won't be overclocking very hard on my cpu, so I couldn't justify an H100i, an H80i does just the trick for me both performance wise, and while maintaing an aesthetically beautiful machine:]
