I currently have to wait for all my watercooling parts to come back in stock.

Amazing how such a small thing can be worth so much.

Unfortunately I can't put any of this together yet as OCUK sent me the Black version of the case by mistake. DPD are picking it up on Monday so hopefully I can start building next week!.

Can't wait to get all my watercooling goodies and a new graphics card by the end of April!.

(Sorry for bad camera work, shaky hands).

we definitely need updates on this!
also check your emails

Sorry, been busy haha.

Update:

I RMA'd the black Primo on monday. OCUK sent out the white version as soon as DPD collected it. It arrived Tuesday afternoon.

I have ordered parts from OCUK and a competitor.

Ordered some Watercooling parts. Hopefully should be here later this week.

OcUK Tech Lab - XSPC D5 Vario Pump & XSPC Acetal D5 Top Value Combo
Monsoon 16/10mm (ID 3/8 OD 5/8) Free Center Compression Fitting Six Pack - Chrome
Mayhems Pastel - Ice White Coolant 1L
Monsoon 16/10mm (OD 5/8) Rotary 90° - Chrome 1
Monsoon 16/10mm (OD 5/8) Rotary 45° - Chrome 2
Aqua Computer Ball Valve Female Thread G1/8 without connectors
Primochill 16/10mm Tubing 2m
EK Supremacy EVO - White
Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper 360mm - White Special Edition
EK-RES X3 250 Reservoir
EK-RES X3 - TOP WHITE
EK-RES X3 - Bottom WHITE

I ordered the 360 Monsta as that was the only white one in stock at the moment. I'm waiting for someone to stock the 480 rad in white for the top of my case. I will probably Mount the Monsta in the top for now and when I decide on a graphics card, get the 480 and put the Monsta in the bottom

Crazy priced cpu! What will the main use of this build be?

Gaming, streaming and video production. It was £800 just 2 months ago

2 more cores and 2 more threads. On the benchmarks it's super quick. Can't wait to use it.

Update:

So I've just managed to source an AX480.

Hopefully all parts should be here by the end of next week.

I'm still stuck deciding on whether to wait to see what the 390X/980Ti are like or bite the bullet and go for the Titan X.

Like yourself im also awaiting the release of 390x! Are you going single or dual gpu?

And I presume youve bought the sp fans for rad? Any particular reason why you chose those over the Pwm high pressure ones? As theyve got almost double the static pressure?

Single for now, might go double at a later date.

I will be honest, I did it for the white LED's haha.

Have you considered using ledstrip?

I did but I prefer the look of LED's on fans rather than a strip. Less in your face in my opinion.

Okay so some more parts have finally arrived. It's nearly ready to put together, just waiting on some more fittings (UPS....).

The 360 Monsta radiator is so heavy, the case is going to a ball ache to move once built aha.

I literally have computer parts scattered all around my room. It's so annoying having all these parts but not being able to put them together yet!. Also, I bought 2 kill coils to find out I don't even need to use them with the Mayhem Pastel.

Really don't know whether to just bit the bullet and get the Titan X as they've just come back in stock.

This should be good looking forward to updates

I'm getting nervous. My first time watercooling. I just keep looking at watercooling guides on Youtube aha.

So my new gaming chair arrived today!

AK Racing Nitro Gamer Chair - White

The box was a pain to bring up my room from reception. Sorry for the mess!, my rooms full of boxes and computer parts!.

Biggest bag of Silica gel I have ever seen!.

Build quality is really good, the instructions can be dodgy at times due to them having one set of instructions for all chairs. I got confused mounting the bottom part to the chair. A quick check for the assembly guide on their website solved this.

Looks amazing, feels amazing!. People have knocked AK Racings build quality in the past but this is solid!. Stitching is on point.

It actually suits my old tower really well!.
