Hello All,

I put this comp together from parts from trial and error builds, and troubleshooting parts for other machines.

• Lepa AquaChanger 120MM Liquid CPU Cooler, LPWAC120-HF
• Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX DDR4 Motherboards GA-Z170X-UD5
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz (PC4-24000) C15 Memory Kit - Black
• EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-6180-KR
• Kingston Digital 120GB SSDNow UV400 SATA 3 2.5" Solid State Drive SUV400S37/120G
• EVGA Supernova G2 750W 220-G2-0750-XR Fully Modular Power Supply
• NZXT S340 Mid Tower Computer Case, Glossy Black (CA-S340W-B1)
• Corsair Air Series SP 120 LED Green High Static Pressure Fan Cooling
• Corsair Air Series SP 140 LED Green High Static Pressure Fan Cooling
• Windows 10 Pro, Kaspersky AV, Abode Creative Cloud, DOOM,  etc...

A few issues with the NZXT S340 case but not too bad.  I couldn't quite fit a 240 Corsair H105 CPU cooler in the front.  While I did sort of JAM it in the case the tubing was blocking everything, and the tubing was straining its connections because of the tight bending.  And so I ordered an air cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO) but that didn't fit as well, too tall (but was very close).  So the Lepa took over and is performing quite well.  What is also cool about the Lepa is it can fit Socket 775 CPU's, so i might use it again on one of my older gaming rigs.  Also the MOBO backplate had problems fitting which is causing the MOBO backplate display to bow out a little.  Not a huge issue [see pic].  The cables fit with no problem and it is not really visible since its the back of the PC.  I didn't feel like grinding it down a little to get the exact fit because the finish kind of flakes off.  The paint sort of chip away when securing the screws for the PSU and side panels.  Lastly no where to put a DVD ROM, but not a necessity for me.

 

The MOBO has some cool gold lighting running up the left side along the back of the PC.

 

I ran DOOM at max setting at 4K, but had some issues and by dropping the AA by half it worked with no problems.
