First build in 10 years :)

Update to my build:

Finished adding the red extension cables, painted the PCI slot covers red, and replaced the cooler on my GTX 670 FTW with a Accelero Twin Turbo II from Arctic Cooling. Very happy with this build now that it's pretty much completed. Maybe in a year I'll add a second 670 or upgrade to a 800 series Geforce when Maxwell comes out. We'll see.

Sorry about the image quality, my girlfriend is borrowing my actual camera so I was left with my phone camera.

Also, while I was redoing some cabling at the back, the fan headers on the H100i broke so I was forced to run them straight off the power supply, but that's alright. I have the 2 Noctua NF-P12s with the LNA, and the 2 SP120 Quiet Editions with the Noctua ULNA. Very quiet, and still cools really well.

I bought the Twin Turbo II to help reduce noise coming from the blower style FTW cooler, and boy did it achieve that. Load temps reach just around 55 degrees C with only a maximum fan speed of up to 60%. Add that my card is overclocked +30 core, +600 memory, this cooler is ridiculously good, and very quiet.

Hahaha, yeah there's loads of room in there, really good airflow without having the fans spin too loudly.

I was actually trying for a couple weeks to sell my motherboard and case to downsize to a mATX (Corsair 350D) or even a mITX (Bitfenix Prodigy) but I realized that 1) It would cost me too much to do it, and 2) Now that I have the Twin Turbo II on my GPU, it would't have fit in the Prodigy since it's 2.5 PCI slots wide now.

I've grown to be quite happy with the setup I have, since it really allows me to grow into the case in the future.
