The Project 9

The goal was to build a truly personal pc with minimal modding, as I am a big sci-fi fan the aesthetic was clear.
The build is happily running from 23.10.2017.
As the budget is tight as always the "bling" side was kept to a minimum.

The switch from a MAC is life changing as The build is used primarily used to crush through design applications halving the work time. On the other hand for music production and sound design. Gaming oh man you know it!
Also was really lucky during the mining craze so the Poseidon 1080 ti practically paid for itself.

i7 7700k @ 5.2 Ghtz 34-75c temps with fans @ 580rpm, (29-65c on fans @ max rpm)
the GPU max temp 52c fan @ 0 rpm,
the ram is @ 3200 @ 40c (only 16GB still waiting for the price drop)

I'm planning an aesthetic upgrade soon, primarily focusing on cables lighting an tubing, also a plan to add a water block for the m.2 (because it is basically the hottest part of the build running @ constant 65-75c)

All in all the total cost was around 3000eur-900eur (mining) worth every penny!
Hope this inspires people to do they're own dream build, i had absolutely 0 regrets and only benefits.
