Here is my first PC build...it is up and running but decided to wait for the market to settle down before investing in a GPU, the ram was hard enough to stomach but it is what it is. Overall for my first build EVER it turned out amazing and didn't have any issues thanks to linus and other tech tubers. I have been planning a beast build like this for almost 5 years but kept allocating my funds elsewhere. Finally it is here. Also I am waiting for a better monitor, currently i have an HP 2311x that my wife uses on her PC and a Samsung 47" 3d LED TV im using for this PC till i get a new monitor....Any suggestions will be welcomed, haven't really started looking into it yet.

Nice!
The one thing I don't like about that case is the massive empty space behind the front fans. I know, water cooling and such, but it'd be nice to have something there for those that don't. Even if it's just an aesthetic piece.

I agree it is very empty, but anything there other than a reservoir would make the 360mm radiator not possible.

I love the build man its nice I have a question about the monitor actually I have the same one and put a evga gtx 1050 in today and noticed it now gives me a lot of options and my monitor all the sudden went from being 1920x1080 to 2715x1527 and came to life is that all of these monitors if you put a decent GPU in  front or might be a LCD lotto like the rest of components?
