So i finally decided to upgrade from my old HP stock PC I bought 4 years ago. Only thing I used for my new build from old computer was i7-2600 @3.4ghz cpu, hardrive (with OS on it) and optical drive. Wanted to do black/chrome/blue color theme.
I'd like some feedback on this new build. Maybe few improvements to current build or the future ones. I spend $1080 ($1000 was my budget) on this one. Mainly used for gaming,video editing and architecture software. Didn't go with liquid cooling since i cannot overclock cpu. Here it is:

Cooler Master N600 mid tower
i7 2600@3.4ghz (from old PC)
Evga ACX GTX780 super clocked
Asus P8Z77 v-lk mobo
Cooler Master hyper 212 evo CPU cooler
Evga supernova g2 750w PSU
G.skill ares 1600mhz 8gb (2x4) ram
Samsung SSD850 120gb - with installed Win.7
Hp 1.35tb HDD 7200rpm (from old PC)
Hp blue ray/dvd/cd optical drive (from old PC)
Enermax T.B.silence case fans 120mm
Nzxt LED case lights (not turned on in this pic)

2x120mm front intake fans, 2x120mm exhaust fans (one rear, one top behind cpu cooler).

This is a solid build.. For video editing I suggest 16GB RAM.. Rest of the parts are fine

The blue color scheme is nice and something different, seems like everyone has a red and black color scheme. Also excellent job on the cable management!

Looks great, nice build! I have the same PSU. May I ask, does yours make a click sound when you power the system on, or it turns off? My G2 seems to do it and it's been bothering me a bit.
