I got a raise at work! Hoorah, hurray! Now I have more money left over after the bills to buy some new toys.
SO, I figured I'd start a project log thingy, since all the kids seem to be doing that nowadays. The beast:
Core i7-4790K
EVGA GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX2.0+ (Might buy two, might forego 9xx SLI for Pascal)
PNY XLR8 8GB 1866 RAM that I already have, plus another of the same kit to make 16GB
EVGA SuperNOVA G5 550W 80+ Gold Full Modular
Rosewill Rise GLOW Full Tower Case
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO Air Cooler
SanDisk SSDPlus 240GB (Carried over, will be either buying more or pulling this one to upgrade to a larger on in the future))
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM (Carried over, will DEFINITELY be buying more spinners in the future!)
ASRock Pro3 Z97 LGA 1150 ATX Motherboard (Carried over)
Corsair Scimitar RGB Wired Optical Mouse (Buying this because my old mouse was stolen )
CoolerMaster Storm Quickfire Ultimate Wired Keyboard, Cherry MX Red switches. (Buying this because like the mouse, my old keyboard was stolen )
Acer S220HQLAbd 1080p 5ms 21.5" monitor (Already have one, ordering a second)
It'll be a bit before I get my first paycheck in the new amount, not until the first. But I will definitely be posting pictures of everything to this first post as I order it. Case, cooler, PSU, keyboard, monitor, memory and mouse will all be ordered in May, and then the CPU and GPU will be ordered in June and July. I'll also being posting some before and after pictures for OC'ing and delidding. Feel free to track the thread if you're interested in watching me mess something up....LOL.

Changed the case to the Corsair Carbide Clear 600c.
Changed the PSU to a 550W.
