I put in some extra hours and got a nice payday with the intent of upgrading my rig. Gonna be adding a custom water cooling loop (cpu for now, gpu in a few months).

 

Current build:

Intel 3570k @ 4.3 GHz 

Asus Sabertooth Z77

EVGA GTX 660 Ti FTW

Kingston HyperX Beast 16 Gb DDR3 1866 (2x8Gb)

Samsung 840 250 GB

Western Digital Green 2TB (2x)

Cooler Master 850w 80+ Gold

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Noctua NF-F12 (4x)

Noctua NF-A14 (3x)

Corsair Carbide 500R (White)

 

Upgrades:

XSPC Raystorm AX240 Kit w/D5 pump

Bitspower 90° rotary fittings (3)

EK UV blue coolant

Mod/smart cable extensions (blue/black 24 pin, 8 pin, 2x 6pin)

 

I'll be posting some before and after pics when the parts arrive in a few days.
