Black and White

This is my first build that actually posts and runs well.
CPU is overclocked to 5.0 GHZ on all 6 cores, but with a .2 AVX offset.
Meant as a capable developer machine, but just in case I get bored, it can play games.
Wire management is incredibly difficult, especially since I went with a semi-modular power supply, but I think I finally got it nice and tucked away.
There is also cooling galore here:
* 1 200mm case fan (that came with the case) [Intake]
* 2 120mm case fans [Intake]
* 2 120mm AIO fans [Exhaust]
* 1 140mm case fan [Exhaust]

Every separate hard drive I own is in this machine:
* 2 from my old laptop
* 1 spare I used to keep a running instance of Linux (Xbuntu at the time) for CS homework.

Speaking of OSes:
Runs Windows 10 Pro off the M.2 drive since that's my daily os
Runs Arch Linux off the only other SSD
