Its a Corsair with Cherry switches, forgot the exact Model though ,clicks loud. Thank you the case has been somewhat a hard find. It took me forever to decide on what case I wanted. In the end the Be Quiet offered silence and a cool glass window.

Brother needed a pc to go away to school with. I was one of the shitty pre builts that I messed around with and learned how to build pc's with, so I just let him have it. Not sure if I changed the gpu in it though.

Nice, I know my friend who goes ham on this stuff has about 4 motherboards just hanging on a wall and a few processors. He's a bit of a technophile I think.

Great PC, amazing part selection! also very clean setup! And if you plan on keeping this one as long as your last one, these components will probably do just fine!

I have to keep up with 4K so ill probably be upgrading my gpu every year or every 2 years depending on how it runs games in 4k. Good thing my monitor is a 4k screen with Gsync.

Looks pretty good. Can you remove control the LEDs?

The Be Quiet Pro 900 has a built in LED controller behind the front panel. The RGB LED's come with the Pro version of the case.

Yeah I have to contact evga soon. Had the card for months of gaming so it's not going to dye any time soon but thermal pads are a good idea.
