The build has been finished for about two weeks now and I have been getting around 22c idle and 40c under load for my CPU, and my GPU (EVGA Gtx 660 FTW) has maxed at 66C. I went with,

 

-I5 6600K

-Cryorig H7 (with Artic Silver)

-Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3

-EVGA Gtx 660 FTW

-Evga 600B

-NZXT Source 210 Black and two extra NZXT Fn 120 v2 fans (Pull in front, Pull on top and Push rear)

-I recycled a dvd drive (no idea what, its the same color, it fits and it works...)

-two WD 500 gb HDD's in raid for storage

-Intel 730 240 Gb SSD for games

-Windows 10 (its like switching from boxers to boxer briefs, i know everything is there, it's just in a different place and doesn't feel familiar)

-Asus VG248QE

 

The peripherals are not worth mentioning, I will be upgrading them soon along with the GPU, not sure what i should go with just yet.

The cable management was a little barren in this case and moving around is a little tight but i wanted to save money and it was on sale, couldn't pass up the opportunity. It felt good to build a computer after tearing a few down as a child with my father, feels good to be back home.
