Here are the specs of my new PC that has started to arrive in the mail. I should have this built in a week or less I hope.

[LINK] - Corsair Obsidian Series 450D [CASE]
[LINK] - Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell Quad-Core 4.0GHz LGA 1150 [CPU]
[LINK] - Asus Republic of Gamers - Maximus VII Hero [Motherboard]
[LINK] - Corsair Vengeance® Pro Series — 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz (with red heat spreader) [Memory]
[LINK] - ASUS ROG Strix GeForce® GTX 1070 OC Edition 8GB [GPU]
[LINK] - Corsair ATX AX860i 860 Watt [PSU]
[LINK] - Corsair Hydro Series H100i [CPU Liquid Cooler]
[LINK] - Samsung 850 Pro Series Internal SATA III 512GB [SSD]

In addition I am using some after market products to make the build look prettier...

[LINK] - Corsair Professional individually sleeved DC Cable Kit (Including 24-pin cable) [GPU Cables]
[LINK] - Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 140mm Case Fan x2 (Red rings) [Case Fans]
[LINK] - Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition 120mm Case Fan (Red ring) [Case Fan]
[LINK] - Corsair Air Series SP120 Performance Edition High Static Pressure 120mm x2 (Red rings) [Radiator Fans]

I will post a picture when I'm done and I'm thinking about recording a "How to build a PC" video, but not sure if I will take the time and energy to do that.

SOLID build T. As far as closed loop cooling goes the Corsair Hydro Series H100i i know has great reviews but i had issues with the last one i used and went back to air (Noctua NH-D14) which seemed to keep my oc much cooler. Do you plan to oc i see you got the 4790k?

Yes I will overclock eventually. I have my current 3.0 running at.. I believe 3.6?

What problem did you have with the H100i? Everything I've heard is really positive. Sounds like you got a bad one.

about six months into using the last one my temps started rising out of nowhere. it pretty much just stop cooling at rest and full load. i have had a couple different ones and only had one bad one. pump must have went in it. now it is just sitting in a box.

I haven't taken any good pictures yet as I still have some stuff to do, but here are some bad pictures (I didn't have enough light) in the meantime. I was still doing cable management at this point so it's not quite as clean as it will be, but still pretty clean.

Got things finalized today.. got some of the cables that were loose in the pictures above hidden. I will have to get more pics.

Surprised no one said anything about my modded liquid cooler tubes. :icon_rebel:
