Decided i REALLY wanted a windowed chassis. I admit, that was the initial reason to get some parts.
Later on though, i'll be upgrading the gpu and cpu, hence i added an 850w Seasonic m12 evo.
The krait 970 motherboard is defo not an upgrade to my asus m5a 970 r2.0 ....but...black pcb, mang.
Added kingston hyper x fury 16gb @1866mhz ram instead of the crucial ballistix 8gb at 1600.
fx9350 is on the way.
as for gpu upgrade...i'm waiting it out ............
oh and by the way, those corsair white led sp fans are not going in this, the hum too much above 40% use.
The case came with one 140 silentwings (or pure wings, dunno) and a 120 at the back. keeping it that way, but might at additional 140 to the front as intake and 120 or another 140 at the top as extra exhaust... i guess i like having four fans, 2 as intake, 2 as exhaust. probably will go for another set of silent wings or purewings i think.

...nzxt hue+ ....fun. though the cam software was being a bitch initially. swapped the shitty micro usb cable to a regular micro usb to usb2 cable and routed it to the back through the pci bracket....a bit ghetto...i know...but atleast it's being less of a bitch now.
storage is the same; crucial bx 120gb ssd, ocz trion 240gb ssd, western digital cav blue 1tb hdd, and an asus optical drive...yes...cannae part with opticals just yet.
cable management is sloppy, i got lazy after running into some issues thinking the mobo or psu were bad, but it was a cpu connection issue on the krait's socket. all fixed now. and then that software being antisocial with the hue+...
Other than that, once it booted, the hardest work was over, windows still as OS, just had to give in a new activation key (oem version on the perv build, but i had another activation key on hand... ;) )
anyway, need to mess around a bit more with the cam software, it's laggy, sometime sit works, sometimes it doesn't apply changes... ehh.
get the cables a bit more tidy, i guess when the 8350 arrives.
here's some really bad pictures i took with my phone...
