So this is going to be my first post. I hope to have more soon. 

 

This rig has been a work in progress for the past 2- 1/2 years. It was done then I wanted a different case cause of slight damage and it wasn't a new case when I got it. The original case was an Inwin 707 which i absolutely loved. It is roomy enough for all that I wanted to do plus the tool less design made it incredibly easy to swap out drives on the fly. I used it for a while but during my move to my current residence the case got dented in on the front some which I wasn't happy with, so I decided that it was time to move on and find something new. I fell in love all over again with the EVGA DG-87, and absolute monster of a case with six tool less drive bays, 6 optional SSD and 3.5' drive cages on the back of the motherboard along with front USB 3, type C and HDMI input for VR.  Plus the enormous capacity for water cooling made it almost the perfect case. Then I got word that i was about to move again (military life) so i decided to look for a case that could be easily transported better. I was looking for large cases but in a cube shape so it could be either crated or boxed up, which in my opinion, would be the best for transport. So I settled on the Thermaltake Core X9. It was originally the snow edition but I ended up painting it blue to go with the rest of the blue theme I have going on. 

 

So here are the specs:

 

Thermaltake Core X9 Snow Edition

MSI Gaming Pro Carbon X99

Intel i7-6800k

Corsair 16x2 gb ram @ 3200mhz

2x Gigabyte G1 1080 graphics cards in SLI

Samsung Evo 850 2.5' SSD 1tb

Western Digital Black 2.5' 1tb

Western Digital Green 3.5' 1tb

EVGA Supernova 1300 G2

 

Water-Cooling Specs:

 

Thermaltake Pacific 280 and 420 rads

Cougar 140 mm fans in push config

EKWB Supremacy - EVO (CPU Block)

EKWB EK-FC1080 G1 (GPU Blocks)

EK-XRES 140 D5 PWM

EKWB fittings (a boat load of them lol)

Primochill flex clear tubing

 

If there are any questions I will be happy to answer anything. Bear in mind some of this is still a work in progress but for now here it is. I will upload photos soon (once I have decent pics lol)

Eh.... I would re-think the title since now you can just get a ryzen 5 1600 on a b350 for aaaa loooooot cheaper and have pretty much the i7 6800k performance

Yeah but for what I'm going to be doing I already have the stuff so im not looking to re-spend money just to have a different CPU and mother board.

How much did this all cost?

[Colpepper75670]

at the time when i first put the system together because it has been pieced together it ran me about $1,800 but i have prolly put in close to $3,500 at this point i do have plans to put in an m.2 at some point so there is that.
