Parts-
Case- The Corsair Air 540. Dual section design makes it great for air cooling and water cooling. I bought it planning to do a custom water cooling loop in the future.
Spoiler: show
Motherboard+CPU- Good MB, can handle some pretty good over-clocks, along with the CPU. Funny thing, they just stopped selling this MB on most stores. I got a little hotter CPU then normal, but nothing I can't handle!
Spoiler: show
RAM- Nice RAM, and happens to match my system colors. Hope to get another 2x4GB to put my rig up to 16GB of RAM, now that Im doing a bit more art and photography on this computer.
Spoiler: show
GPU-Brand new 780. Really love this card! I bought and installed a backplate just for a few things. I was getting some sag so this helped a lot, and with water cooling this is needed! So might as well pick one up for cheap.
Spoiler: show
Power Supply-Simple 750w power supply that I have had since my first build. Never had any problems with it, so Im liking it!
Spoiler: show
Sound-I picked this card up on sale when I was down at the computer store a while back. I had been needing a sound card for a while, so might as well get in when its on clearance!
Spoiler: show
Storage-Just some hard drives. Nice that most of my hard drives are the small for factor, witch is really needed in this case! Just because this case has 5 SSD slots, and only 2 large form factor HDD slots.
Spoiler: show
Case Cooling- I have been using the Cougar fans for quite a while now, and really love them for radiator cooling. Then I like the Corsair fans for exhaust on the case.
Spoiler: show
DVD+Lighting- Just a simple DVD bay that I'm pretty sure everybody has. For lighting I use the NZXT Hue. Very bright light and the RGB is very nice to be able to switch up the colors. Only problem is that sometimes you can see the other colors mixing in, throwing off the color in some places. But nothing ugly looking.

Now, time for the build!
