Nicely balanced system, and by the looks of it a very predominant colorscheme. Looking forward to the pictures

Did some modifications to my own system. Need to get my mate to update my pictures, cause my camera sucks ^^

The problem with the H80i's stock fans is that they move air weirdly producing whistling turbulence noises, H60 does the exact same thing. I'm not sure what exactly causes the whistle noises but i believe it has something to do with the design of the blades on the stock fans. Me replacing them with GT's is simply a test to see if the noise is remediable. If not, I'll install them on the side plate. It's a win-win investment either way

Indeed, going to be loads of fun to build it. Unfortunately I as well have a shitty camera so the pictures will probably not be of the highest caliber.
...huh. The TIM spread between the lid and the chip seems to be meh at best, no wonder temps suck. Putting aside there shouldn't be any TIM at all, the whole thing is supposed to be welded/soldered shut right?

Please keep Haswell overclocking in a thread more suited for that topic.
You upgraded my CPU, pretty happy with it after having some problems with my old E8400.

Thinking of dropping in a second 780. My temps never reach 60c on this rig with even higher voltage than I'm running for daily use. That cooler + delidding + bgears blaster + optimized TIM/case makes it unbelievable for temps.
I'm adding it on EVGA mod rigs, current name is Megalodon.

PS: I turn hyperthreading off for WoW but I keep the same overclock. I have different profiles for video editing, WoW, and general gaming. As you probably guessed, the rig is quite snappy, but a little loud with all the active cooling @ high rpm. I work in a room with a window unit AC so I couldn't possibly hear a jet engine, much less a computer, which is why I don't care. I used the vice and wood block method of delidding.
