Hey, LTT forums!

 

These are just a few pics of my current build. I bought it from CyberpowerPC and upgraded the GPU, fans, and added LEDs.

I am currently in the process of building a new case out of wood, so keep an eye out on the forums.

I'm also looking for a modular power supply, preferably over 750 watts, so if you have any recommendations please let me know.

 

Components:

Case: NZXT S340

CPU: i7 6700k

GPU: ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1080 AMP Extreme

CPU Cooling: Asetek 550LC

Motherboard: MSI Z170A Gaming PRO Carbon

RAM: 2x (4GB ADATA XPG)    

Storage: 128GB SSD, 2TB HDD

PSU: 800Watt 80+ Bronze (it didn't say the exact PSU on CyberpowerPC but it's either 800watt or 850watt, I'm not sure what brand) non-modular

Case Fans: Corsair SP120 Quie Edition x3, Corsair AF140 Quiet Edition x1
Lighting: CableMod Magnetic 60CM Wide Beam RGB LED Kit

Operating System: Windows 10

I don't see why you would need 750W for that. Check out this link to see what you should get.

I like to think I'll be going "bigger and better" haha, thanks for the link

First sorry but, The GPU sag is serious, the beefiest gpu I've ever seen.

750 watt is almost definitely not needed.

Heres the psu I have, it is very good, not noticeably noisy at all, and Evga is just cool, also its modular like u wanted. Here it is .

Also can't wait to see that wooden case, I love self-crafted builds. Its just cool.

Yeah, I know, from where I sit I can't quite tell there is much sag and it really does look just a little worse in the picture there... but I love how beefy mu GPU is, and if my motherboard didn't have reinforced slots I would definitely have some of those little strings you can buy to help hold it up (I took care of the problem in the wooden case, so it won't be a problem for much longer). Thanks for the PSU recommendation, I actually reached out to EVGA and signed up for their build sponsor program because I like their PSUs ;p so fingers crossed I win haha
