So I like building my own things, wrecked my laptop with some precision Tango spilling so here's the new build spec:

Xigmatek Aquila Case - Black
Super Flower 550W Gold 80+ PSU
i7-4790K 4.00GHz
XFX R9 NANO 4096MB
Asus Z97M-Plus Micro MB
16GB Blitz 2400MHz Dual Channel
OCUK 240mm Watercool Kit

Everything running stock right now.

Heres my benchmark:

3DMark Score

Got any pictures?

Are you going to OC as you seem to have the cooling for it?

Photos! Yes probably will overclock, haven't done it before so will be steady.

Coudn't figure a tidy cable management. Getting the PSU in was a right ache as it only just fits so i needed to remove all the SSD mounts then shimmy the PSU (with cables already attached) in before putting the cases SSD bays and SSD back in.
Waiting on a power splitter cable so all the fans will be powered, eventually get some orange LEDs for above the window too just to light it all up some more.

Another orange LED strip added.

And also much quieter now thanks to a NZXT digital fan controller.

Also got it now running dual monitors, my usual desk top and a larger one for my recent purchase of a racing sim rig (G29 with Playseat Challenge). Photos when I've finished hacking my desk up and also got monitors running how i want them to.

Cooling my GPU is a problem, its running pretty hot and limiting my overclock. Was looking online to see what other solutions people had with my case.
Here's an interesting russian one.
