I'm working on converting to a much more aesthetically pleasing build over the course of this year. So far I've gotten new cables and some quality of life parts. I've listed my current motherboard for sale on Amazon because it won't fit into the new case I plan on getting and after querying some of you heathens and watching Linus's videos I've decided that painting the motherboard is just too much of a hassle.

 

So I think my build is about as good as its going to get until I can grab a 1080Ti. 

 

Goals for April:

Buying: 1080Ti FTW3 EVGA (Care to suggest something better?)

Buying: NZXT H440

Buying: MSI Motherboard

Installing ^

Turn 27, Jesus I'm getting so old =(

 

Goals for July:

Buying: EKWB parts for custom loop.

Installing ^

 

Goals before End of 2017:

Buying the new GSYNC HDR Predator monitor

 

Here are a few pics of my current build after the cable management update, and the installation of the HUE+.
