Meet ClearFall! So about February this year, I came into some cash, and wanted to build a high end PC. It was my first build, and I wanted something I wouldn't have to upgrade for years. So I got the best processor I could afford, and found some good deals some not (Prices in the list vary, from when I purchased my parts). The PC is an Ice Blue/White theme (with black accents) and runs extremely cool, at 42C on mostly all benchmarks. usually runs like 40C on all my games. the CPU I have never been able to use it all up. the highest I got was 40% utilization, which was Rainbow Six Siege, Spotify, Youtube and 3 other tabs opened on google chrome, streamingon YT and twitch, and twitch app opened. The 1070 runs amazing, and the sleek white look matched my build, which is why I chose it. Everything else is just amazing. I do want to do 3 things as of this point: First off, get a different case. Something that hides the HDD's and PSU/cables, and no drive bays for disc drives, etc. Second, get an AIO, like the NZXT Kraken. Third, I want to switch all my fans for RBG, so I can set them Ice Blue, but be able to turn them off when need be. Solid build, and overall a great PC! My total was around $2750.
