Nice build but why use that motherboard, its not the greatest with the 8 core, only a 4+1 Powerphase, also that crossfire is somewhat limited because the second pci-e runs at 2.0 x4.
Hi im new here, but not to computers. I wish I had some of my old system build pics but my current system is pretty good I think. I donno let me know what you think.

- VC : XFX R9 280X

BTW that first picture was after the build was finished I robbed the important parts outta the obsidian 550D to put into my new case. My friend was getting my old unused parts which is why his case is chillin there. Im a kind friend when I upgrade I usually give my old parts to friends who usually donate money for them. On average I upgrade parts every 6months - 1 year or when something breaks. I will go to the local microcenter (I love that place and im happy its a good 1.5hrs drive away so I dont go there and spend all my money) buy a new / upgrade rma the dead part and then depending on the part sell or donate it to a friend.
Most of my parts at the oldest are max are 12months old. I wasnt initially going to upgrade my ram but since my friend was paying for pretty much all my old parts I decided to go ahead and upgrade since I had 3 sticks of DDR3 1333.
Funny story about why I had 3 sticks and not 4. So the ram is about 3 mobo\cpu upgrade versions behind the rest of the build I originally got 2 x4GB sticks however one day my system went highly unstable. Tested the ram. One of the sticks died on me. So I send kingston an email tell them hey, one of my match pair sticks of ram died + serial numbers ect. They told me I had to send in both sticks so I ended up driving to best buy and I didnt have the money to buy the 2x4GB sticks of the same ram I had. So I ended up getting a single stick so I could still KINDA use my computer while I was waiting for the RMA to go through which took about a week and a half. Lots of people are like why did you buy 3 sticks of ram.
PS: I FREAKING HATE the formatting stuff on the forums. It doesnt work right. If you hit shift + enter to get a single spaced line it doesnt actually appear when you post which is why I have edited this post about 6x now to get it all worked out. PLEASE fix this so its WYSIWYG instead of. I see you WANTED formatting here but meh were not going to do it cause /care.
No really. The 1.5 line space on normal enter adds way too much space, especially when you much rather have things as single line. I guess I have to go through and do a list or bullet points to clean up this post some cause right now my post is 20ft longer than it should be.
Hearing you loud and clear man, got the MOBO when I had one 270x and an Fx 6100. Was thinking of getting the below MOBO, I'm open to suggestions that don't throw off my general color scheme tho lol

Super nice build. A lot of money sitting on that table. How do you like that case? With the price tag of over $550 for that case I hope you love it.
I have owned a Caselabs before. Their build quality is superb. Built my brother a rig in a Mercury S8.
Specs are on my profile page.

Well I love the case, I like the double width as it gives more flexibility for storage and really easy cable management and the build quality is second to none.
