Right my case turned up so I got everything I needed to start my build, so I did.
Here is all my bits and bobs:

1st I changed some fans over with RED LED ones (however I'm still waiting on another 2)

DSCF1182 by brendanwest, on Flickr

Then I had to clean the old thermal paste.

DSCF1180 by brendanwest, on Flickr
Now for the mobo and cpu, this was the bit I was worried about the most just in case I some how fried them?

DSCF1196 by brendanwest, on Flickr
The RAM was easy........

Fitted the GPU and PSU for a test boot,

DSCF1206 by brendanwest, on Flickr
WOO HOO it's alive.
Don't tell the wife, look at the mess LOL.

Fitting the mobo in the case was easy enough.

I had a few problems with the H100i as one of the screw's in the back bracket came lose and fell out.
DSCF1220 by brendanwest, on Flickr
DSCF1221 by brendanwest, on Flickr
PSU fitted,
DSCF1222 by brendanwest, on Flickr
Fitted the GPU again and then tested it.
DSCF1223 by brendanwest, on Flickr
DSCF1226 by brendanwest, on Flickr
Used my braided wires
DSCF1234 by brendanwest, on Flickr
DSCF1242 by brendanwest, on Flickr
Also fitted the optical drive and HDD.
I have not tested it yet as going to bed.

Thanks not sure if there is anything else to do at the moment?
So just time for a little update, I sprayed some of my case and will spray some of the inside parts soon.

Looks very tidy for a first build, I love the red plastikote spray on the case damn good idea that.
How do you find the AF120's? I have them too also the same Mobo, I find them a little noisy, the SP's are a lot quieter.
