Very good looking build you have there!

 

But, Why not water cool the GPU also??

Just add another rad and some tubes and fittings. its not hard to install the waterblock.

Thats just my opinion.

and again. nice build. ;)

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!

I´am going to watercool the GPU. I just need the money. i live in a country with a lot of taxes. So hardware is not cheap. So when i get my next paycheck i will watercool.

 

 

you can tell the noobness by the psu. other than that its a very nice build  :)

 

The psu does exactly what it is suppose to. no need the spend a ridiculous emount of money on a powersupply. The powersupply set me back almost 160 USD because of taxes in my country.

I just thought it was overkill using a 750w psu for 1 gpu system. Personally i would have got a better quality 600w unit.

Thank you sir.

It is my first build so i have nothing to compare with. But it is not loud at all. It is the only thing i can hear though because my fans run at 35%

i get 75 degrees C as load temp on the CPU OC to 4,5ghz @ 1,270V

water temp 41 degrees C after 3 hours full system load (both gpu and cpu)

GPU temp 75 degrees C after 3 hours full load.

 

 

where is the 780

well look at the pictures page 3

Well i have soundcard and more drives in plan. And i would like to upgrade to x79 when i get the chance..

Love the build man and really digging the clean look! Also, please don't buy the X79 platform because DDR4 and X99 is right around the corner. Save up for that for the love of god.

The x79 is not going to happen. feeling like z77 is giving me enough juice, don´t see the point in upgrading :)

The desk is fine my grand dad made it, he is now dead so i will keep this desk for as long as possible :)

I don´t consider my self an audiophile, just like a nice pair of headphones :)
