I Finally built a new system for myself.
PCPartPicker.com List (awesome site for picking out parts)
 
 
Corsair Obsidian Series 450D Mid Tower

Finally a case that easier to move around, my old HAF-X case was HEAVY.  Yes i still use the 5.25 bay, my ASUS Bluray burner optical drive looks sexy in this case.
 
 
ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero LGA1151  (Z270)

 
Hard to beat this Z270 mobo performance/features for $219
 
 
Samsung 960 EVO Series - 1TB PCIe NVMe - M.2

Not bad for my first SSD drive
 
 
Intel 7th Gen Intel Core I7-7700k (KabyLake)
 

Runs much cooler and faster than my old I7-920 (1366 socket).
 
 
Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme (240mm)

Hard to beat for under $100 and has a 5yr warranty
 
 
 G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)

G.Skill RAM for the win
 
 
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 P2, 80+ PLATINUM

80+ Platinum Rating + 10 Year Warranty  =
 
 
 EVGA White G2/P2/T2 Power Supply Cable Set

 
 
 
 
 
 Image hosting: 
 
 
Reused parts:
ASUS SATA Bluray burner optical drive
GTX670  (will upgrade when GTX 11 series comes out)
WD Black 7200RPM HDD 1TB storage drive   
 
I don't have any pictures of the system right now to share. (low lighting = low quality pictures)

    Added image of the system, lighting wasn't that good but you can at least see that i did actually build it. 
    I need to spend more time on wire management.

    For cable management use combs or tie wraps.

    EVGA power supply came with some Velcro straps. just need to bunch them up and slap one on it.
     
    evga cable set perf cable (4pin power), it could use another foot or two in length. It could barely reach my fan controller in the second 5.25 bay (mid tower case). I use the fan controller to control 80mm desktop fan to keep my hand cool on the mouse (don't knock it if it works  )
