I hope you guys like it and give me sugestions and ideas for the build.
Thank You !

Fan in the floor is blowing the wrong way........

Now knowing this see that NO air is entering your case at all. When I reviewed this case I even had to turn the back fan round to get it to work, its actually a really BAD design.

Second thing you could have powered that rig on an AX650w psu. 1000w is just daft.

I have the exact same case, what about haven't the radiator on top as an intake? and a good high performance fan as an exhaust in the back?
If I could go back in time I'd get a TJ07 case or something but I'm planning on doing a major upgrade in about 2 years

Oh i forgot to change the direction of the fan...thanks for reminding me.
The fan is in that direction because i was using the radiator fans to pull air into the computer, and it was a stupid idea because in like 1-2 months, my radiator looked like this:





And this PSU is from my old computer. I have for a quite some time and its working perfectly.

Obs: Is nice to see you Tom commenting my post and giving me some tips.
And keep with the good videos on the Youtube Channel !
Thank you !

I think it's quite a poor choice of parts really.
You've got one of the biggest cases for quite a small system really.

Anyway, you've colour matched well and it looks alright

I think it's a good system really. Sure the 800D is a massive case and a little overkill for the choice of components, some people just like the look of it. Kingston SSD's are decent performers, Kingston RAM is a different choice, but good to see he's not following the flock and just grabbing come Corsair Vengeance. I like the colour scheme and it's good how the HX1000 matches the motherboard, fans and RAM colour. Sure the system can be run on a 650w but he already had it so may as well use it, a little old but still a decent PSU. Good job mate and welcome to the forums.

The system is very similar to my new build but I'm going for a black with some silver colour

Nice looking rig and welcome to the forums

Thanks for the comments guys.
What you think of the cable management ? Because i could not hold the cables in the case. You guys have some suggestions to improve ?

 

[jamesyoko]

How I do cables are just to unplug everything, fans, molex, psu everything then slowly work my way from the source back up to the input. As I go along the way ill find neighbouring cables which would take a similar path and bundle them together, then hold them down with cable ties. Cable ties are perhaps your best friends when it comes to cable management, I have a box of them in various sizes and lengths. I know it may be wasteful but I often find myself snipping away on bundles four to five times after tying them down because I would see alternative routes as I progress. Take your time with cables and definitely visualise your path, don't be stingy with your cable ties.

Looks nice but that Rad got messed up.

I really need to work more on my cable management, the bigger problem is to hold the cables near the motherboard "wall".

Yeah i know,but i've cleaned the radiator and placed the fans blowing air in the other direction. Now its alright.

Thanks a lot for the comments and suggestions. Keep giving me ideas and tips to improve the rig. I'm starting to do a bit of case modding on my old CM690 case. Maybe in the end of the year i'm going post a worklog.

Obs: Sorry by my terrible english...
