The [Insert Name here] Build|WIP

The [Insert Name here] Build Log | Work In Progress

and yes, that is the name(i think)

Basicly my current specs are the following:

        Bitfenix Shinobi XL

        ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performance

        Intel Xeon E3-1230V3

        G.Skill RipjawsX 1600/CL7

        MSI GTX 760

        Sandisk Extreme II 120gb

        Seagate Barracuda 7200.14

It looks like this and i admit, its damn ugly lol

Because i hate the looks of it, i plan on rebuilding the system until summer. Here are my potential Upgrades (They are most likely to change)

The Case is most likely to change, since its just too big for what i need it to do. Im thinking of going the mATX route, since im going to a few lan partys later this summer. Not mITX since you cant SLI with it and i am really thinking of adding a second 760. 

The cases im considering are:

        -The Xigmatek Aquila mATX Case

Considering my current Motherboard is an ATX one, i will need to buy a new motherboard. For the choice of Motherboards, i havent got really that many. Its basicly come down to one which is the:

        -Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H

               German Link: http://www.amazon.de/Gigabyte-GA-Z87MX-D3H-Mainboard-micro-ATX-Speicher/dp/B00D5F4XC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396979434&sr=8-1&keywords=Gigabyte++GA-Z87MX-D3H

This is the only Motherboard that really fits my needs, its SLI compatible, Z87 Chipset (I know i cant overclock the Xeon, i kind of trust the Z87 Chipset more than the other ones though) and has a really nice looking matt-black PCB.

CPU Coolers i`ve thought of upgrading to:

I know the Xeon doesnt get hot, i really like the looks of a closed Loop watercooler though, that would be important in the case of the Xigmatek Aquila since it has a Window and thats the case im liking more ATM.

The Cooler(s) im considering:

        -The Corsair H100i

              German Link: http://www.amazon.de/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Wasserk%C3%BChler-CW-9060009-WW/dp/B009ZN2NH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396986768&sr=8-1&keywords=Corsair+H100i

At the Moment im only considering this one, may be some other Liquid Cooler though, i will update if that happens.

In recent Months, im working more and more with Photo and Video Editing. Some extra Ram would be nice so im thinking of buying another 2 Sticks of RAM to add up to a total of about 24gb of RAM

        -G.Skill RipjawsX Series 16gb (2x8gb) 1600MHz/CL9

Thats the upgrades im thinking of for now. And i promise. I will get a camera until then to take some pictures of the progress and maybe even a video :-)
