Just finished my first build. I built this for my grandfather. I am trying to clean it up a bit and would love to see what cosmetic changes you would recommend. I would like to get sleeved cables for it, and I want to get the pre-built ones off of amazon or new egg. Would any brand fit? I am also thinking of throwing another 16gb of ram in there and putting on the Dominator Platinum upgrade lightbar. We are also wondering what fans you guys think would look best? I think the Corsair SP120 silent editions with the white rings would look night. We are also talking about painting the disk drive because it sticks out like a sore thumb.

So as it sits right now.

- i7-4790k
- Z97-Gryphon Mobo
- Corsair H100i
- 16 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum...Want to move up to 32gb with lightbars
- Evga 780 6gb GPU with backplate.. would have went with a TI, but the 6gb version had way better reviews. I will be buying the brand new 800 series card when it is released. Maybe SLI if we don't have to worry about heat.
- 1TB Samsung 840 Evo.. Will be bumping this to the 1TB 850pro when it is released this week. Love the color even though you cannot see it.
- EVGA 750 G2 PSU. Love this PSU. Would love to find some nice sleeved cables for it. Any recommendations? I am thinking black or dark gun metal gray.
-NZXT Hue.. Because it is sexy.. Fucking adhesive sucks though, will be going back through the case with double sided tape.

** Sorry for the dust in the photos. I didnt realize that it was dusty until I loaded the pics up.

Any recommendations would be appreciated! thanks again

Ya sorry im not sure where else to get them, I guess you can go ahead and wait. The sp120's are great fans, I dont know why you would lose performance. For an exhaust fan you can get the AF140 as they move more air. But for intake fans and cpu...

Thanks a lot man. Yeah, he isn't doing to well. Worked hard his entire life at Sandia Labs as a nuclear physicist. Was always cheap and put most of his money away to take care of his family. He had a sever heart attack, is on oxygen, and can't fly airplanes anymore. He woke up one morning and said **** IT and started to do whatever he wanted lol. The computer was one of the things on his list. Even though he doesn't use it much, it makes me happy to see how happy he gets when he looks at it... and he always asks me "Is it fast", and I reply "hell ya!".

Cool, but adding another 16GB will do nothing for him speedwise, unless he secretly is an intensive graphics renderer.

wow, those are beautiful cables! they are exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately it looks like they are out of stock. Any other suggestions?

Would I have any issues with the sp120s? someone said I would lose performance.

For an exhaust fan you can get the AF140 as they move more air. But for intake fans and cpu cooler fans make sure to get the SP series, not the AF series because the SP ones are static pressure fans.
