Hello PC Part Pickers,

This is my first fully built PC and overall I am truly satisfied how everything worked out.

The most tense moments were when I had to install the CPU and the CPU Cooler - I was really scared haha. Loved the cable management I had to do, it was fun. Also the Mobo came with some really cool BW sata cables. can't say the same thing with the power cables from the PSU - too colorful. :))

Would love to put some lights in there in the future. Thing those lights will consume much? As I have only 550W - I am afraid to consume more of it besides the crucial components.

Some worth mentioning details about the components:

CPU - I wanted something great for gaming but also for rendering / 3D / Adobe Creative Suite - I went with this to use it's 8 threads to the full.

Motherboard - Gaming - hope it is as good as advertised.

GPU - First I wanted to go for a R9 290 - but right after I ordered it I found out that the GTX 970 was going for the same price and I took that one instead :)

Case - I think I searched for a case 3 full evenings - I went with NZXT for the aspect, silence and cable management. A great surprise was the LED placed at the back I/O - gone are the days when I had to go with a torch light behind the PC to plug/unplug something.

PSU - Super Flower are good - but didn't had money for a bigger one - I found this one at 30% sale - hope I can survive with it on the long run.

Mouse - I have this mouse for 3 years now - it still works wonders! Love it!

CPU Cooler - My budget was running dry - didn't had enough for a water-cooler - maybe will update it sometime in the future. But as I don't plan to overclock, I think it will be ok.

Would love to hear from you - suggestions and feedback to improve my system. Thanks!

Update: added 3 more Corsair AF White Led Quiet Edition fans - 2x120 and 1x140 for better airflow and some lights.
