Project: Dragon Phoenix

[Vampyrion]

Hello everyone!
I decided that it was time for me to start building a new PC, since my current one is starting to show some age. I came to the conclusion that I needed to build a new one, since I want to get serious with higher end games and video editing, which just takes forever on my current build. It seems I'm not very creative with my names, since my previous build was code named Phoenix, but that was just a spur of the moment. This build I'm actually basing it on the idea of a phoenix fighting a dragon.
Currently, I'm on stage 1 of my build, which is having the part to run until I have more money. I plan on doing some massive custom water cooling and getting an image airbrushed on to the case. This build is going to be my first serious build that I will constantly be updating, instead of being lazy about.
As of right now, I have all the parts I need until I have more money.
Current components:
CPU:Intel i7 5930k
Motherboard: Asus Rampage V Extreme
PSU: Corsair AX1200i with R/B cablemod kit
Video: MSI GTX 980ti Gaming
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 3000mhz DDR4 32gb
Cooling: Corsair H115i
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Primo
SSD: Samsung 850 pro 1tb
HDDs: WD Black 5tb and Seagate NAS 4tb
Monitors: ASUS 24" IPS monitor and ASUS 24" 1ms Monitor
Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Chroma
Mouse: Razer Naga molten edition

:lol: Jokes, nice work so far dude looks to be a monster build are you planing on going down the SLI route? I only ask as the 1200i is overkill for such a build.

Just one last thing, MORE!!

Yea, I'm definitely going to be getting a second card for SLI, as well as, setting it up for water cooling. I actually only paid like $60 more than the 860i. I'll be adding more progress soon. I ran into little hiccups with the case that I ordered some stuff to fix that, as well as, contacting Phanteks.
I bought the NZXT HUE+ to give me some lighting options, which will be coming today or tomorrow, so I'll be sure to get some shots of that. I'm still getting used to the new camera that I got, but so far I've been getting pretty decent pictures.

UPDATE: Current computer is down for the count because of corrupted non repairable boot files, which keeps it in a constant bootloop. The computer decided to go ahead and install Windows 10 without my command to do so and it was unstable so I reverted to Windows 7, which corrupted files for some reason. I have tried everything I know about to fix it, but nothing has worked. I'll have more to share with my current rig, but I'm waiting on some things before I bring up to fully capacity. I inquired about getting my side panel airbrushed with a Dragon battling a Phoenix, so I'm waiting on some feedback. I also reached out to NZXT about issues with the HUE+ not working.

UPDATE 2: Still nothing from NZXT with helping me with my faulty HUE+. I'm not liking this trend with NZXT that I keep encountering. Also, something went funky with my motherboard or something where it couldn't find the OS I had installed and for some reason my Windows 7 install media kept freezing after loading files, so it would lock up once it goes to the starting Windows. I even sent my motherboard in for repairs and had the same issue with Windows 7. Windows 10 would install fine, but I do not like it. After messing around with different configuration and being on Asus support chat for hours, I finally was able to install Windows 7, but only from the disc. I'm still concerned though and hoping it doesn't happen again.

Sorry for the delay. I got pretty distracted with Doom that I haven't made that much progress with finishing my build. I ran into some issues that have already been dealt with. Phanteks is amazing at helping out. I contacted them about the nameplate having messed up screws and they sent me out replacements right away. I also asked about the molex for the LED, since the manual was showing it to be the power, but it was actually an optional plug, so they also sent me an updated manual.
The Enthoo Primo

Out of her box. Can't wait for that feeling when pulling off the plastic protection.

The front, but not the best of pictures.

Such a beautiful board.

I shouldn't have issues with Premiere or After Effects now.

A nice and wonderful shot of that RAM.

And another

All installed and happy

This is one sexy card!

The molex I was confused about, but found the right(sata power) hidden above.

The messed up nuts and screws for the nameplate.

More will be coming, since I really want to get her up and running.
