Warning: This might be long for some with so many images so be aware.
Perhaps you have seen my multiple threads/posts in the previous months regarding my new kaby lake build, well here it is with photos. Unboxing computer hardware is no less fun than undressing a gorgeous lady I must say! This is an overclocking oriented enthusiastic build, hence this sub-forum.
Let's start with the case. This time I wanted a quad fan radiator, and I was lucky enough to find somebody recommend the me the thermaltake Core X9. This case ended being nothing short of impressive. I like everything about it. Here it is
Very very roomy! You can actually fit more than one quad fan radiator.
For the cpu, I ordered mine from silicon lottery (5.1 GHz) for little more than the retail price. My i7 7700K is also De-lidded.
Bad photo, sorry.
For my mobo, I couldn't resist going for the ASUS Maximus IX formula, which got a golden rating here. It is sexy!
I don't probably need all the features in this mobo, but I don't regret getting it at all.
And here is my 64 GB kit of G.SKILL DD4-2400 RAM along with the Samsung sm961 SSD drive (The oem equivalent of the samsung 960 Pro).
And this is my Seasonic PRIME 850 Watts PSU. It is a masterpiece.
The bag it came in is just like the one you find with luxury watches. Amazing.
And the ASUS Strix 1080 GTX
I was so unlucky because I bought it just before the launch of the Ti. I don't know how that happened, but it happened. When searching, there was no clear indication whether we will see a Ti or not. I guess Nvida surprised us.
