Official Post your PC guts thread!

Hello everyone,

This is my first build since 2006, when I built my Core 2 Duo system with the E6600.  Very happy with this one so far:

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK Motherboard

G.Skill 16GB of RAM (Forgetting the stock speed, I think 1600MHz)

MSI GTX 970 (Besides the controversy, the card does what I want it to perfectly.)

PNY SSD (Finally using an SSD and it is glorious,) and a Seagte 3TB HDD.

750 Watt Corsair Semi Modular PSU.


The big case, along with the PSU cover and all the grommets made this a breeze to build.  I want to touch up some of the wiring still, specifally those PCIe wires, but when I took this pictures it was around 2AM and I just gave up for the night.

Probably should change the stock fan and my Ram is really ugly...

Runs really well so far, need to get a decent OC dialed in on it but for now it certainly the fastest thing I've ever had. Now I need to get some games for it....

Also I guess I am awful with adding images... go me

Edit: I took another pic of it, last one looked awful.
