    My new PC.

    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.

    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.

    Re: My new PC.

    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.
