[Build Log] Project Predator

[~roma]

Hello everyone and welcome to my personal rig build log. I decided to make a post because I'm about to get the final pieces of the build and I want to share it with you and read your thoughts.

 

Introduction:

I'm a 19 years old Italian student (studying automation engineering), I've always loved gaming and programming and in the past few years I've started to grow some interest in following the tech world and building computers so for my graduation I decided to upgrade my desk and started by adding a shiny new rig with killer specs to get the gaming experience I always wanted. This is what I came up with after some month of research.

That is a very very future upgrade, I might need a new power supply for another build and I thought I could use the EVGA for that and have an AX1200i in this build to keep the 980Ti SLI never power thirsty.
