Hey Guys!

Thank you so much for your help and EVERYTHING! I have decided to just keep my pc as it is atm.... I am planning on upgrading my 6core to 8core (need to know how pricey will that be and if i have to change my Asus Extreme Rampage V mobo for it? also going to buy the evga dg-87 or w/e it's called :P but all this is happening probably early next year or mid next year when i move out from my small room to a bigger room as soon as my bro moves out the house. The DG-87 is really huge and i have no space for it but i really would like that case 'cuz i already have fallen in love with it. I can add those liquid pipes, l.e.d lights and still have so much room to work with :) AHowes! thank you again for your help! <3

I thought you had the 6850k now? You have the 6800k? Around here the 6800k is $400 and the 6850k is $600 so $200 more.

You would not have to upgrade you motherboard for that.. it will work with it and the 6900k and the 10 core crazy price 6950k as well.

I'm sure next year there will be newer cpus out and maybe new motherboards to support them.

Make sure to come on here and ask for some opinions on what to buy and maybe build this one yourself or (upgrade the cpu yourself! ;)

Yeah I'd be snagging that evga case myself but wow I blew way to much upgrading my rig and some extras to get my son runing his own rig so we can game side by side.

All that's left for me to do today is fill the coolant to the custom loop and hope and prey it fires up and all is well!

Make sure to register those 1080s (if you have ever not already) on evga as I believe you might get extra warranty time doing so.

Your case is nice.. I've looked at it a few times looking for a new case for my son but I'm forced to use an old mid tower I have for it.. no window :/

Get those fans optimized for better air flow and maybe add another fan blowing in from the bottom. More air in then out will cause a positive air pressure so less dust in your case. Just check those fan filters for dust every month or so.

Oh and remember.. without problems we would never learn anything!

Yes i have Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6800K CPU @ 3.40GHz  3.40 GHz (i dunno why it's repeated twice...)
 
The reason i want to upgrade to 8core is because i just found out my PS4 is 8core and i don't want my PC to have any less than what my PS4 has. I probably will get 10/12 cores.....BUT definitely 8core or more :)
 
The fans that are installed on my rig are factory ones which came along with the storm stryker. i don't see it spinning faster than it should....i don't mind if it makes noise since i have my headphones on most of the time.... i will be sending you an email with pics and also if you can tell me what kind of evga sli bridge i should be getting.
 
also all the best to your system and i bet it's gonna kickass! :)
 

The so-called "8 core" processor on the PS4 is actually made up of two quad core processors, and is as different as an apple is from an orange compared to your i7 6800k which is a true 6 core processor.   

Yeah no worries comparing your rig to the ps4. I'm sure your rid would crush it! Literally.. just stack your pc on top of the ps4 and see what happends! Haha joking!

The 2 1080 ftw cards alone drop the smack down on that ps4.

Yeah I can't wait to start adding the coolant to the loop. But I gota get out there and cut the grass! It's been 3 days of solid rain here and it's super long! Takes me 2 and a half hours to cut it! Prob 3 hours with as long as it is having to stop and empty the bag so much.. but I'll be dat dreaming of my rig the whole time! Haha

haha sorry for the late laugh :P anyways!!!! I just installed the GeForce GTX SLI HB Bridge and mannn oh mannnn such difference, comparing to my asus ribbon sli bridge...eWW!! haha! my bechmark run on all ultra settings with 4k res running stable 40fps on stock clocked mode :) i am not even thinking of overclocking it because i am really happy with it! ahh the led light just adds an 'ouullalalala' to it :) i can't thank you enough AHowes! <3 All i am waiting for are 5 x 8gigs memory cards (2133mhz) and 1 960GB of SSD Drive by ADATA. and i'll feel complete.....maybe not....but just maybe... HAHA PCLIFE!

Wow full boat of ram!! 64gb! Styling no doubt! Me and my small 16gb ram hehe.

Oh the sacrifices I made upgrading my rig to also afford to buy a new monitor and drives for my son's rig as he wanted his first right and I basically had enough parts to build him one with my rig I replaced.

Oh well.. next time I'll be set and boy will he be all over me to upgrade to have my rig. haha

i would soo love to see the whole set once everything is plugged and set up on the desk :) P.M me when it's picture time! :)
 

Here's 2 quick ones of it.. early pics so no evga hb bridge :/.

I gota get me a couple of rgb lights to plug into and control from the asus mb. Try and see if there's a way to put them on the edge of the water blocks to light them up.. maybe just the first one cause it's all I can see and one under the motherboard maybe.

Also would be nice to light the inside up being all black ya can't see much.

I also need anot her windowed side panel for the other side so I can see the rest of the motherboard and cpu/ram.. Haha that's what I don't like about my case with its horizontal mb. :( love the fast that it supports heavy graphics cards well this way but I can't see nothing other then the graphics cards! Plus these classifieds are twin towers!!

Another angle

One last one for now.
