few more pics:

















I came out at $1,049.78 for everything. Which was as close as I could get to being in budget and still get everything. Had to make a few minor sacrifices for now... I originally wanted a 600w or larger power supply, and a better processor cooling system (maybe water cooling) so I could overclock it to take advantage of the 4.5Ghz+ that the Black Edition FX-6300's are capable of... and I'd have rather have got a 250Gb solid state drive for the OS (the Wd 1TB drives were on sale for $51.99 and also had a $20 ea. rebate... making them just $31.99 ea!!!), and I really wanted a new set of speakers . But, those are all things I can get later on, as money permits. I love it so far.
It will play pretty much any game made on High Quality @ 1900X1080. I've got Assasins Creed Black Flag, Call of Duty Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Elder Scrolls Skyrim Legendary Edition,and Dirt 3 on it... It runs all of them at 60+fps... So it's not even breathing hard to play them.


Now that it's all set up and I'm thru testing everything, I'm going to go back and re-route the wiring inside the case to make everything neat & tidy. Don't want anything obstructing the airflow in the case. Plus, it just bugs me...lol I guess I'm a little bit OCD hehe! I'll post a new inside shot afterwards.
