Wasn't too difficult and I am yet to update anything but I am happy so far. Also the back panel area is disgraceful! To the point where I actually can't get the back panel on so tomorrow's task is tidying.
 
Looks great, thats a great rig you have there.

I know the feeling with the back and cable tidying, truth is, you will never be happy.
 
Looks great, tidy and colour coordinated :D

Nice build, did you have any problems at all? (apart from the back panel not fitting just yet).
 
The only real trouble was fitting the phanteks cooler it was a bit fiddly and probably took the most time but other than that it all went well.

I have moved a pc from one case to another but this is the time I have gone from scratch, it was pretty enjoyable actually.
 
I5 3570k, the misses bought me it as an early Bday pressie before I got chance to change my mind for an i7 which was a bit of a pain but I'm not too bothered!
 
Yeah the case is ridiculous really, Hopefully will keep things nice and cool have a bit of breathing space haha! In all fairness I just genuinely hadn't even contemplated how big it was going to be!
 
Hopefully it will. just updated everything and now off to bed, need to d/l bf3 again which takes forever then I'm good to go!

Also need to start reading up on ocing as I haven't a clue.
 
Just discovered a stuck pixel though which is annoying! Hadn't really noticed until this morning so looks like an rma will be required :( Oh well at least everything else is doing really good!

just read and take your time, great choice in keyboard, loving mine, i also got the roccat kone pure and changed colour to red, they look awesome together
 
Cheers I really like the look actually it took a while to finally decide on it though :)

Just been playing BF3 and I'm hitting an average of 130FPS on full Ultra so I am dead happy with that :D

Wow! Not sure what my rig achieves, but I'm fairly sure that yours will see mine out! :)
 
I am loving gaming on a pc again it has been far too long!

I think my next purchase will be a white or red LED strip and a few more fans for good measure!
