The project start April 20 2015 when i first decide to purchase the case and all the pc parts, it take almost 7 week for CaseLabs to deliver the case, along the way i encounter a few hiccup and some unwanted RMA that why it take almost 6 month for me to finish this build.
Original plan for the build
CaseLabs Magnum STH10
Intel core i7 4770k
and i will re use my ASUS Maximus 6 EXTREME to save me some $$$
3x GTX 980 sli
32gb Kingston Hyper X fury DDR3 2400
OCZ RevoDrive 3 x2 960gb for boot drive and game
3x 1TB Samsung 850 EVO raid 1 for storage
Corsair AX1500I
--------------------------------------------
Current setup
CaseLabs Magnum STH10
Intel core i7 4790k
MSI Z97 XPOWER XLATX motherboard
The reasone i go with the MSI mobo is when i try to fit the Maximus 6 inside the CaseLabs case, it look so tiny and i didn't have the 4770k with me at that time so i go online and search for a lager mobo and i come across the MSI mobo, it was the only dual channel XLATX moboin the market so i buy that along with the 4790k
32gb Kingston HYPER X DDR3 2400
3 ASUS GTX TITAN X SLI
Special thank to ASUS, they're sponsor me with 2 ASUS GTX TITAN X for the price of 2 R9 390X, so what i did is go buy another ASUS GTX TITAN X to run 3 way SLI
1 Corsair AX 1200I, 1 Corsair AX 860i
The AX1200I will be use to run the 3 TITAN and the mobo, nothing else, the rest of the system is run on the AX 860i, a bit overkill, i know but just in case in the future i want to run 4 way SIL i still have enough power
1 OCZ RevoDrive 350 960gb ssd for boot drive and game, 1x 1tb Samsung 850 pro storage
In the near future i will buy 2 more 1tb 850 pro and run them raid 1 or raid 10
------------------------------------------
For size comparison
1: Zigmatech Elysium case 26.5" tall
2" MountainMods Extender Ascension CYO 27" tall
3" CaseLabe Magnum STH10 36.2" tall
4: the owner of that 3 rig aka me 5'9"
Hardware that i may or may not upgrade this pc in the near future
1: OCZ RevoDrive is one badass drive
but i want something faster like the Intel 750 ssd but i'm not sure i will upgrade to the 750 ssd unless i have lot of $$$
2: this i will definitively consider buy, right now i only have 1 1tb Samsung 850 pro at storage and i really like to buy 2 or 3 more and run them raid 1 or 10, i'm not sure yet.
3: 4 way SLI, i know that 4 way SLI is a waste of money and doesn't offer a lot of performance increase and most game doesn't support 4 way SLI....... but and here's a big but,
4 way SIL will make any rig look Badass, uber powerful machine and i'm kinda seriously consider going 4 way SLI, just like my team the Patriots, they're one of the most powerful, most elite team in the NFL, the Patriots rig have to be a powerful pc too i probably buy me another TITAN X for Christmas

I'm a Patriots for life
