New computer build finished

[reptileexperts]

Well, been working on a new desktop since August of this year. Working piece by piece until a week ago I picked up the final component needed. A new desk still need some extensions for my DVi D cables in order to put my PC on the actual stand I have for it to keep it off the ground. But man do I love this thing.

i7 Devils canyon processor (oc'd to 4.8ghz)
Water cooling on CPU (AIO)
SLI (Dual) Gtx 970 graphics cards (oc'd to 1550 core 8100 memory)
TactX keyboard
Razor Naga chroma mouse
Phantom original case with 7 fans and lighting
HyperXcloud II headset (thanks to an early Christmas present again from my wife!)
Harmon and Kardon Sound Sticks II
Triple 144hz 1080p 3D Asus monitors
24 Gb 2400mhz DDR3L corsair vengeance Pro Ram
512 GB SSD in raid 1
9 TB in barracuda drives from segate









Any other PC gamers out there who build?

This invoice was 1520 and is only missing the second 970 I already had in my laptop external graphics card box. So including both would put it at 1840. This includes all hard drives and ram. Case and fans. CPU and AIO water cooling. bluray burner and case window. Does not include accent lighting and red wrapped cables.

Hey, nice set up man! Love the backgrounds on the monitors~ Probably costed you an arm and a leg.

Very nice build. I don't game or OC like I used to, but I do chat tech support for Newegg in my downtime, just went through and re-did my main rig because I'm REALLY anal retentive about wiring and dust.

Two arms and one leg :-)

Actually, picked up things piece by piece after I did the base build. It made the cost seem like less over the course of 4 months total. Monitors were the killer part but actually ended up not being too bad. Wife bought the first, I picked up the second used on amazon for a great price, and the third on black friday flash sale on newegg for an even better price than the used!

I thought I knew wire management, till I started working on this rig. I ended up spending around 60 bucks in replacement cables for my modular power supply in order to match the color scheme on my board. Then spent hours carefully running and hiding wires behind the motherboard, and strapping them in. Dust hasn't been a major issue as of yet. I have had to clean the radiator for the water cooler once so far, and my front screens had a bit of dust trapped in them. Cleaned now, and soon the rig will be back up on the stand to get it off the floor.

Also - my new gaming / work laptop is what rekindled my addiction. I had stepped away from PC gaming since about 2012, and focused on Console gaming for ease. When I had to upgrade my laptop, I spent the extra money to get a top tier gaming laptop (Alienware 17R2 w/ 980m graphics / HyperX Ram / i7 / touch screen HD / M2.SSD). And slowly started working on overclocking it. I soon managed to get into the top 3 overclockers in the world (on hwbot.org) with the 4710 i7 I'm running. (Currently that score is holding at number 6 - just checked).
