This is a project log that I probably should have made when I first started building my PC. :p But oh well here we go,

I am using the Z77 chipset for this build which I hope lasts me a good 5 or so years (with a few minor changes here and the obviously) The build is primarily black and red themed (quite a lot to change for this to actually happen as you will see in the pic's below)

So the parts I currently have are:

Motherboard: Asrock extreme6
CPU: i7 3770k @ 4.5Ghz
Heatsink: Alpenfohn K2
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB LP @ 1600mhz 9-9-9-24
Case: CM Storm Trooper
PSU: Corsair AX750 Proffessional
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
GPU: GT 240 (sigh)

(Pretty much what's in my sig ahah)

Interesting....

Just built my first rig in years, really enjoyed it but now it's over I'm thinking of what else I can do. I'm interested in water cooling lust for the giggle of it so I'll watch this for some inspiration :)
 
Ahah. I only just built this (my second build ever ^.^) and the itch to do more is ever there. :p once I start watercooling it will never end and I will never be happy :p
 
looking forward to this as its same case as mine for my next progect,im going triple rad in the front and dual rad for the top gonna mod my dvd drive on the outside of the right panel and cut a window or 2 in the left
 
You can buy a windowed CM Storm trooper side panel if you want to save yourself messing up. I'm going 240mm rad in the top 120mm rad at the back pump will be where the 120mm Rad is in the pic (or in the HDD bay yet to decide)
 
Really? I got told it was safest to use the kill coil as well as coolant? :p will the XSPC tubing I've picked work with the compressions? :/ I was looking at the ID/OD earlier and was like uhmm this seems wrong :c
 
Yeah thats not a big choice :/ I really want the black that the EK compressions have. Hm what would be a good brand of tubing with the ID/OD the same as the EK compressions thats not primochill or Masterkeeler I think it is?
