Project Log: Climb To 4k

Bought the following this morning:
LG Flatron 34UM95
Corsair Hydro H105
Corsair Fan, SP120 PWM Low Noise High Pressure Fan 4 pin, Dual Pack

The sp120's will be replacing the stock fans on the Hydro. Hopefully ill get the monitor sometime next week or the week after maybe.
Just need the cpu and then I can start building

Awesome parts, your PC is a beast, can't wait to see this up and running. Can I ask why you never did consider water cooling and would you upgrade in the future if you have temp overheating problems? Hope to see more pics of you awesome build soon.

Not confident enough for watercooling, I currently have a h80 in my rig and that's as close to watercooling as I want to get. Besides I don't think overclocking graphics cards makes any difference to fps in games, its more of a benchmark thing. And I can get pretty descent overclock on the cpu with H80, and hopefully an equal or even better with the h105.
I would be very surprised if I did get overheating problems, in all my rigs ive had, its never been a problem. Im not sure how you get heating problems to be honest. If I do ill try upgrading the case fans and maybe there layout. Its going to have to be pretty serious problem for me to go watercooling.
 
Motherboard arrived

DPD will be here tonight with my monitor so expect pics:)
Im not gonna wait ive decided to have my monitor up and running today rather than wait. Not sure if my 670 has a display port.
Edit: yes it does, how lazy am I. I could not be bothered to look behind the case and just went on there website and looked instead.

I have often turned to google to find out something about my PC, instead of just looking at it...Moving sucks, its like, IRL and stuff.
 
Wasn't even aware Gigabyte did Black Editions, and the Monitor is just incredible!

Sorry about poor pics but im not very good with the camera. No issues at in these 2 hours, except no screws came with the monitor, luckily took it out of another old monitor.
Does not matter the picture quality is amazing, the blacks are perfect nothing wrong in that area what so ever
I was blown away by the 1440p Elysium trailer on youtube mrk posted on here. Seriously when you get the monitor watch it
Without seeing the framerates there is no performance difference from playing css,wolfenstein,xcom and rome 2 total war. I tried crisis 3 and oh dear... But it looked amazing the grass waving in the wind and the scenery its just great.
Looking forward to building my rig and start some serious gaming on it
