    Regardless, unless he's going to -heavily- overclock, the 360mm rad is plenty, especially with only 2x GK104. He can plop the extra fans in push / pull and be set.
    And you're aware that heat doesn't just disappear right? What matters is fin surface area and a steady flow of air more than anything. In my system at idle the difference in radiator wall temperature on a top and bottom radiator is <1C. At load it is 2-2.5C. This is rather insignificant and it allows my system to run fanless at idle and dissipate 700W easily with the fans running at 1400RPM. We all have different needs, I want a powerful machine that can be literally silent when using 300W or lower.

    Since he's using push-pull everywhere, he is obviously going to have enough airflow that your concerns don't matter. The fact air is getting hot while being moved is a good thing.

    Updated all my peripherals and installed 2 Gentle Typhoons for my H100. Fans are significantly quieter than the stock ones that came with the H100. Overall, I'm very happy with my new stuff.

    Damn, if that corsair headset had regular jacks, rather than USB, I would've bought it instantly. Fits perfectly with my corsair case, keyboard and mouse. Too bad

    I'm pretty sure the Corsair Vengeance 1300 use analog connections.

    Yep, but it doesn't have the vengeance look, unfortunately. I'm a sucker for looks...

    First and foremost, A+ for pictures. Let this be an example to all those who post their setup:
    - One picture of the finished computer.
    - One or several of the internals.
    - One of the cable management in the back (awesome for reference to others looking at that case).
    - One picture of the desk area with all of the peripherals.


    The 16GB RAM eludes me, as does the powerful PSU. I would personally skip upgrading to the AX850 myself but if you want the sleeved cables for looks then I guess it's as good of a reason as any. I would swap out the G19 in a heartbeat personally and get a mechanical.

    The Ram was overkill but I got a great price. I only paid 70 for them.

    The PSU is in anticipation for another GTX 670. I dont need 1 that powerful now but if I can get 1 on Black Friday for a good price then I will. The Dynex I have right now is an ok mechanical and the keyboard and webcam are purely if there are great deals.

    Any opinion on the cable management? First build and first time ever doing it so I was a bit up in the air about it.

    Your current PSU is fine for SLI.

    Can't see any mechanical keyboard from Dynex? http://www.dynexproducts.com/product...ltsPerPage=all

    2x 670, with your CPU overclocked, will use around 450W at max. Maybe with overclocking and heavy fan-setups and some added HDDs it will reach 550W, but we are talking a very extreme scenario then.

    Cable management looks good - I got no complaints. I would have probably aimed to keep the cable mess behind the HDD cages to a minimum or out of view, but that's me.

    Is there anything wrong with getting a crazy overkill PSU now that can last a few builds? Do they really upgrade that often?

    The point is that it would be wasted money since the PSU you already have is good enough and will last likely as long. The current trend is that computer hardware use less and less power.

    Perhaps the man just wants the sleeved cables really badly?

    But the same kit also works with the AX 650 and 750 PSUs.

    Did some work with the cable management from my last post http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...1#post17999459 to make the inside a bit tidier, also got a shot of behind the back panel ^^ (bit untidy with the chains of SATA power connectors and four pins)

    These two things, no. Do not waste your money. The G19 is horrendously overpriced for what it is. For the price, you can buy one of the most top-notch, highest quality mechanical keyboards out there, say for instance one from Ducky or DAS. The G19 should cost no more than $50, just like any and all fancy fluff rubber dome keyboards.

    Overkill on PSU, what Marest and others said.

    When you really want to go crazy, buy a pack of like 100 cable ties. :P

    Every little detail needs.... its own cable tie. <3
