I first decided on 1600mhz ram and a fx-4300 but soon upgraded to a 6300 then a 8350 and 1866mhz ram

after receiving everything but the h50i and nzxt Kraken I went to work now its worth noting that originally i had a 650 watt evga psu and the best rated amd micro atx board by asus (which was why i was limited to 1600mhz) and also a Raidmax Hyperion matx 102wbu case but after a faulty psu fried the mobo i decided to go mid tower and all out

I purchased the MSI mobo case and a fx-6300 next although the h50i and Kraken had still yet to come in. I went to work assembling the PC but soon realized the nzxt sentry 2s need for a molex on every pwm cable would make cable management impossible.

After much research i decided on the sentry 3. I got that installed booted successfully and installed windows. only problem the gpu was faulty it crashed on anything high performance but I had already thrown away the box luckily I was able to exchange it and also buy a fx-8350 and by this time the h50i and nzxt kraken came in. after installing everything, hooking all the fans to the sentry 3 with pwm splitters and crossing my fingers I pressed the power button...

IT WORKED! now for the fun part Overclocking. I wanted a high overclock that was stable even with the fans on minimum.
after some tweaking with the bios I OCed the cpu to 4.5ghz and 5.0 at turbo and the memory to 2000mhz ran prime95 for 3 hours with the fans on high and 2 more hours with them at low. It had no hiccups so I moved to the GPU I was willing to be more conservative with it as stock its already overclocked and its plenty powerfull already I bumped it to 1500mhz at turbo 7400mhz memory clock and 110% power safely. I ran unigen prime 95 furmark and 3d mark with no problems and never breaking 40c idling at 10c for the CPU and 25c for the gpu was also a nice plus.

my 3d mark score was about 9500 getting 12k on gpu 9k on physics and 4k on combined. lower combined scores are to be expected from an AMD CPU. I was finally done... well almost I have now purchased a StarTech S2510U33RUSM 5.25" Black SATA III USB 3.0 5.25" USM Storage Bay with 2.5" SATA
and I am either purchasing 32gb 4x8gb of 1866 mhz g.skill trident x or 2133 depending if the mobo and cpu can support about 2300 which is what the memory will be at after the cpu OC I'm alsu getting the case professionally painted picks will come soon

*update decided on the 1866MHz and will over clock to 2100

I updated the build the new link is https://pcpartpicker.com/b/4knnTW

I changed the fan orientation to be cooler and fixed some of the parts I put in incorrectly the first time
