 First build first desktop. I've been wanting to build one for a while but just got the cash to do so recently. I just bought the new Evga gtx 680 so when that gets here I'll toss that in and put the Evga gtx 550 ti in my brothers computer. Also shopping around for a new monitor for 1920x1080 gaming and a new keyboard for a better all around computer.  Here is some pics if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate hearing them. Thanks

    Not bad! If I may, I suggest you take a look at Cooler Master's Quick Fire Rapid as a keyboard for you. Granted, it's numpad-less, but it's a fully mechanical keyboard that can be had for under $100. You can check out my look at it here at: http://www.cmhd.tv/index_blog.php/the-quick-fire-rapid-with-cherry-red-switches/4393

    Looking good! Nice job! The top of that CPU cooler looks like my Thermalright TRUE. If it was black, and didn't say Coolermaster on the top of it, I would have thought it was my cooler. LOL!    ;)

    I approve, just because you're an Elite.
     
    Wait, are you a descendant of me? 
     
    We could get together, and make a new show, called...

    680 just arrived.  I'll be updating the pictures tomorrow because I have 4 case fans coming in on Thursaday so I'll install the 680 tonight fans in the morning and tidy up the cables.

    That's a nice first build, mine wasn't nearly that good. Yeah ,the only thing you need is some wire managment. If you can try to run the 8pin under the motherboard. (the wire in the rear) . If you have room try to run the sata through the managment holes you have. Good job, looking forward to you updated pics.

    Thanks for the advice the 8 pin isn't long enough to route behind the motherboard so I ordered a extension for it which will probably show up on Monday so I'll put some updated pics of my build when that gets here.  Just got my fans in so time to hop off and start getting everything put together and looking good.

    Ok got almost everything today including the 8pin extension. So just spent the last hour or two rerouting cables hooking up fans and going zip tie crazy!!! I'm gonna run the setup through 3dMark11 and update the score in a minute...just figured I'd get this portion of the update out of the way.  Well how do you guys like it and as usual if you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!
