That looks rather nice indeed. Nice to hear that you've finished and thanks for the updates via Steam.

It works absolutely fantastic, however Counter Strike: Source seems to be broken. It hangs on the main screen and the left side buttons take a while to load and are unresponsive when they do load... :(
 
Very tidy build with an intelligent choice of components tailored to your exact needs. Nice one, have some stars :cool:
 
Thanks guys, the case will hold a 480 absolutely fine, however due to that card being quite warm it might be best to mod the top of the case with a 120/140mm fan. :)

Memory in, 8GB of Kingston, also sorting out the cable management. :cool:

Cable management is looking awesome, thanks to Rich for the help, he is a legend. :) Oh, and a nice sexy SSD in that photo too. :D

Plans for the New Year.

Changing the LG CH10LS20 10x BluRay-ROM / 16x DVD±RW Drive over to a LG BH10LS38 10x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Lightscribe Drive.

Adding another 8GB of memory, so I will have Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel.

I am having a window side panel so you can see the insides, it will be the W-LM3RB.

I shall be modding the I/O Shield so it is black, I shall sort out some watercooling in the case too, possibly mod the top or bottom of the case so I have a dual radiator with Scythe Gentle Typhoons. I want the loop to have black barbs/fittings and the fluid I am unsure if I should have the Mayhems Aurora - Galaxy Purple... So it goes with the dark theme, or have something bright like blue so everything is dark inside and the fluid is bright and stands out.

I may look into upgrading the 560ti to a 580. Also getting rid of the WD Black 640GB and upgrading my Intel SSD to two faster SSDs, maybe a Crucial 64GB and a Crucial 256GB.
 
:monkeydance: Looks fab, well done. I'd say nip down to halfords, pick up white primer and black paint. Crap a bit of cardboard spray it in primer. Wait for it to dry. You know how to spray paint :p
