Sup amigos,
Finally assembled this beast. So feast yourselves on all this eye candy.
First is the case - Corsair Crystal 460X RGB. (Note that this is a compact ATX case and its efing hard to work in this)

https://extraimage.net/image/jBdS
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdq
And finally out of the box. Looks so awesome.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdy
The top side, good thing is the dust filter is magnetic and of very good quality.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdL
And the front which has a tempered glass.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdQ
Side pane, also tempered glass (there's no cheap plastic on this baby)
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdR
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdb
Inside of the case.
3 Sp 120 RGB fans to suck in all that air keeping all your stuff cool.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBd3
The PSU shroud.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBd9
Coming over to the backside.
There's three 2.5 inch drive bays which (seem) conveniently located at the back. The lightning controller of the fans is on the left and the fan hub is at the bottom. The preinstalled cables already come neatly zip-tied so they weren't much of an issue.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdM
Closer look at the lighting controller. The lighting controller is connected to the top panel of the case so you don't have to open the case every time you need to tinker with the lighting settings.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdU
I do think this was the fan hub.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdz
The box that came with the case, a bit disappointed that it didn't have much in it. Was expecting more stuff to be included from Corsair for a premium case.

https://extraimage.net/image/jBdJ
Yes that's only ONE standoff, just one! El O El
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdK
And now the sexy board - ASUS ROG Strix Z370-f Gaming.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdi
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdZ
Accessories with the board
4 Sata cables, two straight and 2 angled at 90 degrees
https://extraimage.net/image/jBde
Zipties
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdC
Hard SLI bridge
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdY
Fan holder, exactly which fan is this supposed to hold of i have no clue about.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdp
These are the 3d printing mounts.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdr
CPU installation tool, what this does is above me. I just slapped the CPU bare naked on the socket. What this was for again no clue.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdr
Some other stuff i don't know about.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBd4
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdB
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdG
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdX
The backplate is nice and black.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdg
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdv
Some stickers if you're into that sort of thing and door hanger.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBd5
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdD
And lastly, manual, cd and documentation.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdF
Now the board itself in all its glory. Its a beauty.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdH
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdk
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdo
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdt
IO panel side.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdx
Then comes the beast, Intel Core i5 8600K.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdd
https://extraimage.net/image/jBd6
Its a gaming system so ofcourse there's a graphics card.
Behold Gigabyte GTX1060 Extreme Gaming 6gb
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbP
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbX
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbH
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbk
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbG
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbg
https://extraimage.net/image/jYb5
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbF
Opening the box, there's another box on top, however this one is much slimmer. It has a neat looking folder and some other thing i didn't bother to look xD.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBh2
Here are the rams, Corsair Vengeance RGB 16gb (8x2)
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdh
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdA
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdW
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdf
Surely it can't run on air so the PSU.
800 watts of Xigmatek power semi modular PSU
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdI
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdV
Then the assembly process which was a nightmare on this case because of its compact size.
For starters, the cables from the PSU barely had enough space to get out from the cut out as you can see in this picture. I would recommend getting a smaller PSU if you want to go for this case.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdu
Aaaand i didn't take any more pictures after this until the system was complete. It was so stressful working on this.
The backside doesn't have enough space for your cables to be easily routed to where you want.
Cable management was a disaster and i had to go through a couple of tries to get everything (almost)right.
System fully assembled

https://extraimage.net/image/jYbW
https://extraimage.net/image/jYbf
And all the boxes in the end.
https://extraimage.net/image/jBdl
This concludes the unboxing of my newest pc which will hopefully last me another 6 or more years
