Hey!
I've been planning and wanting to build my own custom PC since a friend of mine posted pictures and details of theirs on Facebook. This was in October and have been researching, watching LTT videos, some Newegg videos, tutorials guides, posting on these forums and getting advice and loads more!
So yeah, here it is!
Budget:
Final budget of $1200 - $1300.
Usage:

EXTRAS/CUSTOMS:
- Cable combs by E22 (probably black) so my cables will look nice through my H440 window
FUTURE CHANGES:
- To get a second GTX 970
- Maybe spray a stencil onto the front or side of the case. Not sure what of.
- Possibly getting a 1440p monitor as I think that'll be fun, especially if I can get another 970.
