So i posted here showing the progress of this build but i didnt do a good job of organizing and it just became a mess so this is sorta a repost but new stuff has been done since the previous thread.

 

The Specs:

I5 4570k -at 3.8hz cooled by Corsair H100i (really lame overclocker)

EVGA GTX 770 Classified (1293mhz on the core)

16 gb of Corsair Dominator Platinum at 1866mhz(2x8)

Asus Maximus VI Formula

EVGA 750watt power supply 

Asus PCIE AC66 wifi card (my college doesnt have ethernet in the dorms....but they do have wireless AC :D)

Intel 180gb ssd for boot and battlefield

500gb WD blue for all other programs and games

350gb WD Black for generic storage

 

 

All in an NZXT Tempest 410 elite

 

So the pictures

The mobo in this pic is a MSI Z77 G45 and a i5, the old GPU (not in picture) was a Galaxy GTX 550ti

New motherboard, making sure it all works before it goes into the case. More of an organized chaos then anything else

Everything all checked out, so into the case it all goes. In theory as neat as possible

Think it came out ok. I took the labels off the powersupply because they were white and didnt look good at all, next thing is to get some nice sleevedd cables.

going to play around with the lighting a little bit, might go with a UV red effect or should i stay with the led strip, let me know what you guys think i can do to improve it aesthetically and if you want more pictures of specific stuff just say so, i have a bunch

I LOVE that motherboard. I will be buying one soon.

 

You Rig looks very nice.

i dont know if i got a defective board or if im missing something but this board has been a lot of trouble. Currently it seems to work but it was constantly freezing on the windows start screen. Also thank you
