'Privateer' Build log.

Small update for you this morning. I've got my Dominator Platinum Light Bars in the post currently - may well have them on tonight!
Next step is to pick up the Essence STX at the end of the week - and I've settled on a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50s.
The 780Ti is still sat at 1300MHz, nice and stable - and now my 4770K is up at 4.2GHz (stable after 12 hours of Prime95) at 1.2v. It gets to about 90 degrees C under stress testing with the H100i on quiet - but never above 75 under load in actual use.
Once the STX is in, I just have to pick up the external BD drive and do some small aesthetic changes, and Phase One is complete.
 
More of the things!
Light bars installed on the DomPlats - how very pretty... STX is in, speakers mic & ATH-M50s ran out of it. Fantastic little bit of kit - noticeable difference in output cleanliness and quality throughout, and the headphones are sublime. My next step is a little way off yet as I have some things I need to spend out on in the meantime - but I've decided I need a second monitor and a dual arm stand, so I'll grab a 27" 1080p panel with a solid dual arm desk clamp next. Until then!
Some point soon I'm going to gut my cabling and start again - I need to have a fiddle with the link Commander and fan controller to fault find, and it's not quite as tidy as I'd like it to be throughout.

Edit: Nearly forgot! I've de-stickered the PSU again and have the Corsair badge on the side as before :-)
