If this is your very first build, I'd give you a fist pump braaaa, but this is the internet. All I can say is awesome job and its looks amazing for a first time. I love the 600T I still have my old one its a trooper. Love the color scheme you have in the case with the black and white themeing, however that video card does not fit very well. Overall a very soild first build, good luck in the future :D

Really clean build! Any plans to watercool the GPU or upgrade it in the future? Watercooled GPUs are awesome.

Don't use more than one monitoring program at once, because that can give some incorrect readings.

I'm just confused why you went through all the trouble of a custom water cooling loop and you only overclocked to 4.0.

I am very sure this is my first build. i Have only had laptops before this..

 

Very clean build. It is a big step to go for water-cooling on your first try.

 

Anyway, welcome to the world of power computers.

Looks awesome, the white is really sharp! I have the Sabertooth as well and like it for the most part. Do you find the little mobo fans really "whiney"? It seems they rev up whenever I even open a webpage or something...

Mate honestly just take the fans off. I installed them initially when I put my build together though after about a month I just had to get them out of there. I run my 3570K at 4.6GHz 1.32V and I have never had stability issues. Those small fans hardly move enough air to begin with let alone make a dramatic difference to the power components.

They do not spin i just like the looks of the sabertooth with them on rather than of.

WOW! Awesome build, you apparently changed your mind about not needing a better GPU... :P

If you are brave enough watercool that 780.

That would make this build 10/10 perfect.

Great job!
