Behold my college mITX build!

[Extreme Gamer]

Parts I reused:

LG Blu-ray burner
OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS 120GB x2 SSDs
Samsung HD103SI 1TB HDD
WD Green 3TB SATA III HDD
Steelseries Sensei

Parts I purchased (from a nearby Canada Computers shop):

Intel Core i7 4770K
Asus Z87I-Deluxe
Patriot Viper 3 1600Mhz 2x8GB Cl9 RAM (black)
Zotac GTX 780
Fractal Design Node 304
Asus PA248Q
Corsair Vengeance K70 (Cherry MX red keys)

To be purchased: Noctua U12S (heatsink)

Cash spent: Rs. 1.48l approx

Notes: This is an mITX build, so SLI was out of the question from the very beginning. So no, I can't pay tribute to my old 580 SLI build. But a single 780 gets close to that performance.

And now, for the pictures

My phone camera sucks. Sony Xperia M. Also, android still is horseshit. Even in it's 4.0 avatar.

Just wait for my heatsink to arrive. I'm too busy enjoying the system right now to open it up again.

But since you asked nicely, here's a spoiler for you to drool at:

I know, big mess-o' wires, but just wait for my heatsink to arrive. After that I will clean it up. Which is already difficult on a build this size.

Exactly! I've gotten my heatsink, and I'll gut this PC and install it in a few days.

Just a little while longer, guys!
