I have been taking pictures of everything and very excited to building this. it should be built now, however thanks to another online shop I was messed about, but overclockers took 90% of my pennies!
really excited to show the process of the build as i go along!
 
a few pics of what I have got. There will be more items arriving tomorrow and sunday.
very nervous to this build, I just hope I do a good job!













 
so I start the build process today, but still waiting on the monsoon custom fittings, (they not arrived) I was doing really well un till one snag, THE CABLES ARE TOO SHORT!!!!!! so yup on monday I am going to buy ATX and CPU extenders, little peed at myself for not thinking! but anyway here are some pics of todays progress.

A little box just for me????!!!!!



WHAT WAS IN THE BOX? well. this was.



so here is my precious motherboard. my baby my princess my world :D



Then the next delivery arrived and gave me these bad boys!




So I got busy and kept building on and this is next photo with the cpu block installed.






Then I decided to have a play with the cable management, glad that I had.





Thinking that the cables might not reach, I decided to open the PSU






AINT SHE PERRRRRDY!!! shame it is blue not green :( (going to sort that out soon!)



Little naught shot here ;)



Then I decided to Fit in the M.2.




now for some sexy pics of a LED (green) SSD! not using that ugly SATA cable, it's blue and yuk!



There she is all snugg!



Now unfortunately the ugly brother had to be put in right next to her for now!



Close up of Quazzy Modo





so here i was praying i could find a temporary fit, as you will see it will not work! i even tried the undercarriage here for the ssd see if i can shorten the route a few CM.




NO SUCH LUCK! :(





So that is it so far! so it will not be untill tuesday when I can fit this all.
 
So with problem solved I thought great! i can keep going! YES!!!!

a sexy pic of everything in the right place



THEN THIS HAPPENED!!!!!!








These are Coursair 24pin atx but some how my green beautys are more then the fitting! I do not want to use the black ones that came with the PSU, looks like i might have to return this back to Overclockers as it's not right.
 
Thank you all, means a lot. even for just viewing and saying something, so thank you for your time :) I think the only thing i am 100% nervous on is cable management, my last build was all over the place, the one before that i did an ok ish job. this I want immaculate.


These pics are the res and pump combo, I was looking at whrere is best to place it, i was thinking here or on my spare tray i got where i put my power supply unit first time

Seems like you bought the ATX cable for AX series PSU and not the on for HXi.

That Lian Li desk thing is so cool, would love to buy one myself. What's the leg room like, i'm quite tall?

I'm 6ft 2in, and fits me with loads of room (but I do have adjustable chair too) so makes it easier, but even when my chair is max height I still have plenty of room.

yeah PCshed pointed me to the right direction lol. I forgot I changed the PSU that I wanted at the start of buying.
 
little dissapointed but I understand, (phoned overclockers) can't refund the ATX 24pin :( was over the 14 day period, understandable. just ashame i only opened the bugger on saturday :(
 
also on a good note my Gigabyte Aorus GeForce GTX 1080TI arrives in store today and gets sent to me today!!!!!! so i have got my emails open and watching like a hawk
