Hi Guys

I am posting this on behalf of my mate who I build the system for. This was built as his first step in coming over to the PC side after his long time affiliation with console. This was a really fun build. We drank lots, and learnt a fair bit on the overclocking side (Thanks Tom for the overclocking guides). I was blown away by just how wispier quiet this system was under load. We tested with OCCT and found we didnt get past 70c. With Heaven,Valley and Firestrike the 780Ti didnt go past 83c. Here are the pics of the build hope you enjoy.

CPU :- Ci5 4670k @ 4.2GHz 1.125v
Mobo :- Asrock Z87 OC Formula
Cooler :- Corsair H100i
Case :- Corsair 350D
Fans :- Corsair AF120 Quite Editon x 3, SP120 Quite Edition x 2
PSU :- Silverstone Stryder 750W Gold
GPU :- Gigabyte Reference Nvidia 780Ti.
Monitor :- Asus 24" 1080p x 3

Nice build with an interesting spec list. Also the pics do add a nice touch of glance. But one thing disturbing me, is the color mismatch between the fans and the mobo. Would look better with the white more neutral fan rings imo...
 
We did try with the other colour rings but found red to be the best match. Thanks for the feedback will be handy for other upcoming builds.
 
We did consider that but we where pressed for time during the build. However its a good reason to catch up for drinks and some modding.
 
Nice setup, but go allll the way back to photo number 2 and take the bloody stickers off that screen!! :P
