Starlock

Hey everyone! I'm back again with the final installment of my personal rig/showcase pc for my Instagram page instagram.com/pcgaming101.

Here is an imgur link with high res of the photos: http://imgur.com/gallery/WDRhK

These pc was a long time project as a showcase for skill on my page. Its kinda like how Jayztwocents has skunkworks....well I have Starlock.

I got the inspiration from Star-lord. Obviously, I'm a big Guardians of the Galaxy fan. I wasn't a fan of the color combo though. I switched it up a bit and used purple instead of a burgundy color.

I've been very fortunate to do this build. I was given several opportunities to get parts and share my work. And to think a year ago this started with an i7 860 and r7 260x.

I've also been very fortunate with parts. I'm able to achieve an overclock of 4.8ghz with 1.38v on my chip. I've also maintained a 1585mhz overclock on the GPUs. This is also technically my first water cooled build. I made one before but I didn't pay attention to some things and well..... it exploded.

Huge thanks to Thermaltake who graciously sponsored pretty much all the water cooling parts. Without them, this build would not have been possible.
