Nice, I bet I could make some good guesses at a few of the parts given that a 5k screen needs a computer that goes all out, but I'll keep them a secret. :) Also, that monitor looks very nice, I want a edge to edge glass looking one (though it'd also need to be Gsync and 4k IPS) Always liked the look of glass screens as I'm able to put them in non-glare locations. Power supply looks nice too, and I'm looking forward to seeing the motherboard and case as well (I'm assuming no ITX build :P)

Alright guys, enough teasers! Here's the board and SLI bridge from Asus :) Big ol' box from Taiwan :D ROG OC Panel RVE VS RIIIBE IO Plate... kinda miss the black OC Panel 5.25" bay Pretty standard accessories from the ROG This board is hot man... mmm I'm really glad IO covers are standard on high end boards these days ROG Holy outputs batman Even the subtle design on the PCH heatsink are great So many pins m.2 Love the PCI dip switches <3 SATA for days Solid audio. I kinda miss the 6 pin connectors compared to molex but I'll survive. At least it's more strategically placed compared to the 6 pin that used to be way up near the dimms ROG SLI Bridge Solid aluminum... Big thanks Asus ROG Taiwan!

Here they are... Oh yes :D Back in black Hnnnnng Those cards though... <3 Box from the motherland arrived! EK-Supremacy EVO Nickel Plexi + Nickel mounting plate 3x EK-FC Titan X Nickel Plexi + Nickel Backplates + EK-FC Terminal Triple Parallel Plexi (what a mouthful...) Nickel BPs are hard to take photos of.... Blood Red Coolant Never get tired of our FC blocks... Haven't decided which route I'm going to go yet. Thoughts? Dat coolant... actually looks like blood. Fittings. Inspired by @Malik Compression... 90s Pass through, extenders, m-m rotary, female-female Pass throughs, female-female, male-male rotary, plugs, and socket extender I don't think many know what this fitting is for... the EK-Socket Extender, despite many asking for it. Our standard XRES with nickel extender fitting that is required to fill the inset G1/4 threads. The socket fittings replace this nickel fitting and now you have a completely black solution!

Personally I think this looks great but I'm not a watercooling guru.

Looking nice! Really like the black/nickel with just a hint of red in there.
