help name my pc

lettuce head

Guys, I'm in desperate need of some help.

 

I finally finished my build and I simply can't think of a good name? any suggestions?

 

(also sorry for the gunmetal and red build, there aren't many high quality MATX z170 mobo's)

Don't get a NEX PSU

You could have spent less on mobo, SSD, case fans and get an i7 6700k

I would name it "return that NEX immediately and get a GQ instead" xD

 

I mean it, but in all seriousness I like the case name of Arc. Maybe the Crimson Arc or something about it being an Ark of Computing power

I wanted usb 3.1 type a and c on the rear I/o and really really good audio. the only two that were worth looking at were

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/p4nG3C/asus-motherboard-maximusviiigene

and http://pcpartpicker.com/product/m6RFf7/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170mxgaming5

edit:-->

and I like to have an assload of rear I/o, the onboard dac on the gene gives me solid sound quality on my sennheiser hd650's, and the gene viii has more power phases to the cpu for more reliable overclocking which I'm into.

I got the 6600k simply because I don't use anything that hyperthreading helps, just gaming. and the ssd/storage was from my old build so it was a hand-me-down. and the fans...well...because I'm an asshole really
