Hello, this is one of my first post's on the forum and I thought I'd make a build log of my latest build. I'm trying to go with a black and gold theme wherever possible.I am starting off with air-cooling but over the next few weeks, I'm going to build my first ever custom loop for the PC and log it all in this thread.

All of the parts listed below have been ordered, I am just waiting on delivery.

PC Components:
CPU: i7 4770K
Motherboard:ASUS Z87-A
GPU: EVGA GTX 780Ti SC w/ ACX Cooler
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro (Gold) 16GB (2 x 8GB)
HDD: 2TB HDD and 1TB HDD.
SSD: 240GB Corsair Force Series 3
Case: Corsair 750D
PSU: Corsair AX860
Soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster Z
Monitors: 27" Dell Ultrasharp (2560x1440), 23" Dell Ultrasharp IPS(Portrait)

Other Bits:

well it's your build :)
I went for separate, it would also open other res options etc.
xspc have a nice tube, has a light through the middle and glass won't stain in the long run.
They also do a combo.
 
Looks interesting! Although I'd save yourself some cash and go for a standard ACX 780Ti over the SC - there's no difference over the reference cards other than the clock speed, which you can easily match manually :-)

It's about a £30 difference which doesn't really bother me, I'm going to try and clock it to Classy speeds with the air cooler and then higher when I get my custom loop set up.
 
Here are a few goodies that arrived :D

EDIT: I am awaiting on my new desk that comes on Friday, can't wait to see this whole thing come together!
 
My desk has just arrived, the rest of the parts shall hopefully be here on monday, this is my temporary battlestation for the time being!

Sorry about the blurry pic, it was taken on my phone, I'm going to use my DSLR for the build pics.

I did double take the keyboard at first. I kind of like it! Although once the build is complete it might look a bit too old school?
