Nice! Any particular reason you didnt go for an overclock despite having an i7 6700k on LC?

I would add a larger secondary drive myself.
Other than that everything looks great. |

Yeah, you have the CPU and cooler for it, so I'd call and add stage 1 overclocking. An inexpensive bump in performance.
Looks real good and congrats. |

That 2nd drive could fill up fast if you're keeping Steam games installed. Battlefield will be (4 already is) over 60 GB and Star Citizen over 100

I think that means your in the Bargaining stage based on what psychologists call the "8 Stages of (Grief) DS". Stage 8 is where Acceptance truly occurs The excitement is interesting. Its like being 8 years old on Christmas Eve. |
