Funny you should say that.
I wasn't going to watercool both Cpu and Gpu.
So, if I was to buy again - It would be the Mini - as the micro is very tight on space to work on.
4770K @ 4.7 and 780 clocked to 1200 temps are around the 50's so nothing to write home about.

Very nice khemist!
Bought a few upgrades in time for GTAV and thought I'd buy a new case for it to all go insideI was getting fed up of my Zalman Z11 Plus so got myself a Phanteks Enthoo Pro, such a nice case to work in!
Sorry for the horrible images, don't have a decent camera.
Looking good m8, what did you upgrade?

Most things apart from the CPU, Mobo & PSU actually!
GFX (Powercolor 290 PCS+)
CPU cooler (H80i and a pair of SP120's)
SSD 250Gb 840 EVO (to replace a 120Gb model)
Swapped my RAM with a mate so I could have the TeamGroup Elite Black to match colors
Braided cables
Case
I'm good for a while now I think. Might see what chip advancements are viable next year.

Looks great
What temps do you get from the h80i?
Cheers dude! It's been in since last weekend, and after several gaming sessions and stress testing I've not seen it go over 43 degrees. The cpu is an FX8320 at 4.5Ghz w/1.4 volts running through it.
I'm sure it'll get warmer in the summer but I'm very happy so far

Still got the Antec Mini P180. Treated myself to a EVGA 960 graphics card which has improved gaming immensely (from a gtx 460). Now Far cry 4 & battlefield hardline running on ultra with really smooth fps where as the 460 just about managed medium to high settings (not so smooth though).
It was harder to get it to fit in than it looks. The bracket at the end of graphics kept hitting the capacitors sticking up on the motherboard but eventually got it fitted in. Could do with a clean now.
