Ok so a few things about your build:

1.That dark rock cooler looks swagtastic in that case.

2. You could try pulling on your GPU 6 pin cables to show less of them in the body of your case, or invest in some custom cables. 

3. Your build and color scheme is really good, you just need some lights to show off your build. 

4. for the future i would recommend a gtx 970. Its a great fps per dollar card, and its what im going to put in my case. 

Super cool build dude!

Why should he have gotten a lesser card? Thats actually the stupidest things I've ever heard. If he can go for the better card he should.

 

Back to the OP, your build looks great and I 'm getting the H440 or S340 and the Dark Rock 3 for my cooler with the same CPU. Great build

Thx a lot i saw both the h440 and s340 and s340 is good if your cable managment is well planed (unlike mine because build progressing step by step from case to GPU now :D) and h440 well its good if you want a color scheme like me but h450 is better in terms of cable management (i had hard time to close this baby up just like Linus in his review of it xD) but dont want to discourage you just choose what you want best, build it and show us the power of glorious PC master race.

I'm thinking S340 because of the clean look which I like and it's smaller and the H440 is big and has a more complicated look  so IDK yet

h440 seems to be complicated but its not, its pretty simple the s340 is for me atleast, more complicated and more difficult to cable manage due to less space there. So I jumped from zalman Z3 Plus (broken btw and used) to this h440 and the cable managment was just a heaven on earth and you cant see the ugly PSU although its not  the ugliest. Also keep in mind that s340 might not be good pair with your cooler choice but since i dont know its dimensions, than its just speculations of mine :D. But yeah, both look clean and nice especially if you can paint that metal part that covers the cables in s340 which would be sick :D

The Dark Rock 3 fits but not the Pro version which sucks :( But I'm going to be modding most of the case like making the side panel bigger and making it glass, painting a lot of it, and adding custom lighting to places like the front if I get it. But I'm still not sure.

And anyways the R9 390/390X is cheaper than both cards and performs on par or better than them, especially in DX12.

That sucks the DR3P is too tall for the H440. Oh well I planned on getting a Cryorig H5 Ultimate. (Need some good cooling powah to get a nice cool moderate OC on a 6600K B|)

 

I think for lighting in my upcoming build with an H440, I'll just use the Hue+, shame I won't have an AiO water cooler from them because then the Cam software becomes even more useful.

The DR3P doesnt fit in the S340 it does in the H440. I'm going to try to get 4.5 when I get my 6600K with a Dark Rock 3

When I've got the $$$ for my build, I'm hoping I'll be able to get like 4.6GHz or 4.7GHz at a comfortable margin (30°c to about 60°c) on a H5 Ultimate.

turn off the flash and increase your exposure in some way, put in on a simple background and best if you have a tripod. also, natural light is essential. you can try to increase your shutter time then.. you know, simple stuff to begin with. but never use flash k? :D
