So this is my first build. There were some bumps in the road once I got started (I basically tore the whole thing apart because I had my HDMI cord plugged into the MOBO and not the GPU). Without that it would have taken about 4 hours, instead it was closer to 7. Looking at other people's builds my cable management is definitely terrible but I don't know how to change that now shy of restarting again.

You guys helped me pick out (and change) a lot of the components and this truly wouldn't have been possible without you.

Nice build dude.

A few things you may want to add or change.
- A usb 3.0 pass through to 20 pin adapter, so you don't have to run those silly cables to the back of your case and can run them to your motherboard header instead. Here is a link for one.

-Run your 8/4 pin Cpu power cable behind the motherboard and use the motherboard tray hole up at the upper left, it will probably be a very tight fit and you may have to uninstall your radiator to make it fit the connector and the cable length will be be very close. If you you think you need an extension for that cpu power cable here is a link to Bit Fenix cables for that, pick your color and your pin...
