After lurking about for quite some time, I have decided to share my new build with you.

This will be a two part project. First of all, I will be gathering parts and doing some light modding and in a later stage I will be doing a custom loop for added sexyness.

I plan to do a White on Black build; meaning the case and most parts will be black(ish) with white accents added. I would have loved for a pure white build, but i really didnt feel like using the H440 or painting the Define S.


 

Snow Leopard

Black Templar



CPU: Intel i7-4790k

PSU: Corsair AX1200i

Case: Fractal Design Define S

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB + 1TB

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Formula

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240m

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB @ 1600MHz

SSD: Crucial MX100 250GB (OS) / Samsung 850 EVO 500GB (Steam)

Extra's: CableMod Sleeved cables (White) / NZXT Sleeved LED Kit (White)

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 Gaming 2-way SLI (swapping out for 980 ti G1 x2)

Fans: Fractal Design Dynamic GP-14 x 4 (Case fans) / Corsair SP120 High Performance PWM x 2(CPU Cooler)

The good news: Most of the parts have actually come in much quiker than i had hoped. I will be reusing my 980's from my current build, along with the i7-4790k. All that's left is wait for Amazon to delive my case...if only the seller provided tracking :<


Edit: Snow Leopard is dead! Long live Black Templar! Since there appears to be an older build with this name, I have chosen to go for Black Templar. The color scheme matches the chpter colors and who does'nt love WH:40k?

When i started planning, i was still in denial about the 980 ti. Now i will wait for the Gigabyte G1 to release at which point i will sell my 980s and buy 2 G1 980 ti's. I can't wait :3

Update 1: Going over my parts list, i have noticed I am short some paint. I could have sworn iI had a can lying around, but alas. I will be ordering some matte white plastidip.

 

I plan to spray the ROG shroud on my motherboard white and add a decal of sorts to the case side and/or front once it arrives. Now to find a good stencil...

God bless Amazon and their love for the environment...This is how they ship a single PWM Splitter.

Good news! The SLI bridge that came with the Motherboard is actually perfect for my chosen color scheme! i was afraid it would be a standard orange one or a black/red ROG one, but no! its perfect!

I called mine the "Game Devil" a lot of black and white.

Game resembles chess pieces which are black an white

Devil resembles the i7 4790K inside it A.K.A. Devil's Canyon
