CryoVenom Build and Home Theater Upgrade!

So after a long break of not making/upgrading to a new system, I've decided to make a new build from scratch. I will update this original post with the finalized specs as soon as i decide them. But to start off, I'd like to show you what GPU I will be using. I've decided on venturing into the AMD platform, so I've gone with the R9 290. But it's not your run of the mill, stock 290. It's a custom overclocked 290, with an EK waterblock installed by Visiontek.

I have to admit, this is the most awesome packaging I have ever seen for a GPU. I'll let the pics do the talking:

Thanks everyone!
[MENTION=9503]mave3[/MENTION]: It was 550 dollars. I think its priced extremely well considering it came with an EK waterblock installed and overclocked. Most other 290's that are OC'ed are at the 600 dollar price point.

[MENTION=92022]limpix007[/MENTION]: I'm still waiting on the components before I can build the system. I've ordered them, just waiting for them arrive.

So here's a big update. Got the water cooling components! I've decided to give a try at rigid tubing instead of the standard flexible tubing. It's more work, but it looks ALOT nicer once completed. Here are the pics:

















Next post will have pics of my home theater set up!

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
