So took about a week to get all the parts, get it put together and up and running... Wanted to try doing rigid line water cooling (cause it looks snazzy) and custom individually sleeved power cables (also snazzy.). Burnt the crap out of my fingers sleeving the power cables, but managed to only burn myself on the heat gun once bending the lines! Brushed my forearm on the metal of the heat gun and quickly decided I didn't want to do that again... luckily it had cooled down a bit, so it was just red and stung for a day.
Runs reaaaal quiet and so far very smooth.
Got everything maxed out in GW2, getting ~85 fps open world... haven't tried any big events yet, still downloading stuff to get all the way operational =)
Running at stock clock speeds for a few to make sure it's stable before I mess with overclocks.

Great setup, congrats on getting that together. Building your own PC from parts is really satisfying but this takes it to a whole new level!
