Game Toaster 9000 - First Build
by HotCheetos25Built this monster of a machine for gaming. First build and it will be that way for a while.
Currently playing at 4K resolution and I have to admit, it looks amazing. Most games run at about 30 fps (Wolfenstein: New Order) at Ultra settings but in my opinion, the 780 Ti handles 4K like a boss.
Planning on switching out the keyboard for another Razr that has the keys popping up. Bought this mouse since I have large hands and don't like little laptop mouse. Planning on upgrading to an SSD and clone the image but we'll see, times are tough. Wanting to upgrade to 780 Ti SLI before installing the SSD. Figured I'd be better off with good FPS than Windows booting up faster.
Had a small problem though. When I install Intel Integrated Graphics driver, the screen and Windows goes crazy and I have to reset to a certain point. I just left it that way eventually. EDIT: Somehow, I tried updating again later and it worked smoothly. Have no idea what could have gone wrong the first times. Didn't find out first how to make Windows read over 2Tb so now I have 2 out of 3 readable.

I'm not that good at cable management.
If you ask, yes that is a Gamecube with a Wavebird controller connected to it in the background of the 780 Ti.
