I thought I'd start a thread for any other fellow PC builders out there. Please share your builds!

I just finished my new PC over the weekend and thought I'd share it. I've got a NZXT Hue on the way today to light up my bends a bit more.

Corsair Crystal 460x Case
Intel 8700k
EVGA 980ti
Asus Z370-e Mobo
32gb G.Skill DDR4-3200
Samsung 960 evo NVMe 500gb SSD x2 RAID 0
Thermal-take 750w PSU
EK slim 360 radiator
EK reservoir with D5 pump
CPU Monoblock and GPU block
All EK fittings
Thermal-take fans

Still experimenting with OC settings, but compared to stock cooling I'm seeing -30°f on the CPU during Prime95 and an incredible -50°f GPU temps on the furry donut of death.

I am over here running Ivybridge like a scrub. I dont game enough anymore on PC to justify the money lol. I have a 3770k oced@ 4.8ghz corsair h100i, intel extreme z77 board, 16gb g.skill ram, intel 240gb ssd, 2tb hdd, evga 1050ti in a nzxt phantom 410. Built it 5 years ago, had two gtx660ti's in it till they died now I just use the 1050ti as I only play casual games on pc anymore.

That hardline loop is sick though.

Installed a NZXT Hue to help show the pipes off a bit. Starting my new desk build tomorrow. Hopefully get the rats nest of wires managed finally. PC is also going on the desktop.

I bet that system still works great tho. I do a lot of CAD modeling at home, minor video editing, and VR.

I've had a bitch of a time getting any sort of a stable overclock tho. Anything I turn up causes a BSOD. I've been chasing issues since day one on this build... Windows 10 really does suck.

I know, I don't get what's going on. I didn't have any of these issues on my previous build. I might end up running memtest for 24 hours one of these days... maybe I got a bad stick.

Stay away from ASUS ROG motherboards. The one I have has given me nothing but problems since day one. I think the sound controller on it is going out now as well.

I like that case. I was going to go with another NZXT, but I liked the size of this Corsair too much. I used to have a Phantom.

I've always like Asus mobos. I had a MSI in my first build and I had to RMA it, I've had 3 Asus since and never had an issue. I think they are pretty much all the same honestly.

I got over LED lighted cases a long time ago. I like my case to be dark AF when I am trying to sleep and have to leave it on. Currently have a Corsair Obsidian 900D. Thing is heavy AF though and I hate the way the power supply cabling has to be routed so it's almost time to upgrade.

I mostly game on Xbox now to be honest. No intrest in PC gaming as the Xbox One X delivers enough visuals to keep me happy. Also most of my friends game on xbox... So makes sense.

I just finished building my new desk yesterday. Going to get it set up this weekend. I want to let the epoxy coating really harden up so it doesn't dent when I set things on it. I've still got to finish the keyboard tray and secure the cable management mounts, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. Can't wait to see my PC and monitors set up on it!

This is pretty close to my first build. I had a 960 black and a 7950 with a MSI board. Those black CPUs were monsters for their day. Mine was a silicon lottery winner. Stable 4.5ghz on it liquid cooled.
