After 3 years of intermittent upgrades, its nearly maxed out...

I started this thing early 2016 with an i5-6600K, single GTX 1080, and some relatively slow Dominator Platinum 2133Mhz RAM. Stock fans. Stock cables. There was virtually no color to it all but the hardware was the most powerful stuff I had ever owned. Had used onboard graphics up until then. Sickening.
So over the course of the next few years I purchased upgrades here and there when I saw cool products and or sales for items that I thought would give the build some more flair.

I've since installed an i7-7700K, replaced the stock fans with and added some extra of Corsair's gorgeous RGB LL series, swapped the RAM out with snappy Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3000MHz, replaced my PSU modular cables with Corsair's Cable Pro Kit for color, added a second GTX 1080 to try out SLI (previously had no experience with it- somewhat tricky to find HB SLI bridges now that NV Link is here), and finally spray painted the GPU shrouds and optical drive a soft glossy white to really make the bulky hardware stand out with Krylon ColorMaster Paint+Primer spray can.

Corsair's iCUE software allows synchronized lighting control and effects with the AIO, RAM, fans, light strips, and mouse that I own. I use a Commander Pro for all the fans (7) and a Node Pro for the lighting strips (4); these were an extreme hassle to wire in any kind of managed sense around the perimeter of the case but I got it done. Each fan has 2 cables coming off them and cannot be daisy chained. Why, Corsair, why? The strips CAN be daisy chained which make them a bit easier to install, but running them AND the 14 cables from fans to the two hub units on the back of the case was messy, and then getting SATA power connectors to those was even trickier.

SLI is pretty cool so long as I stick with officially supported games. I'm glad I tried it out but it would have been much more cost effective to sell the first 1080 I had and go for a 1080Ti or RTX series. Despite that, benchmark scores are impressive, and 4K at 60fps in Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dark Souls 3, Far Cry New Dawn, Borderlands 2 etc is spectacular on my 32" IPS panel. Fortunately I hadn't played most of the SLI supported titles, so it made my first experience with them on this build all the more remarkable.

That's that. This Z170x Gaming 7 motherboard only supports up to 7th gen Intel CPUs with a BIOS update, so I'm stuck where I'm at with the 7700K. RAM speeds past the natively supported 2133MHz by the the CPU offer diminishing returns utilizing XMP profiles, and the 3000MHz I have now is where I draw the line. Aside from that, I could add an M.2 NVMe SSD down the road and throw some static pressure optimized fans back on the radiator for better heat displacement- currently hit ~60°C under load on the CPU, ~70°C on the GPUs with the bottom within 10°C below that. Still need to grab some cable combs to tidy up the PSU cables as they're entirely exposed (case doesn't have the fancy basement shelf) but it's not terribly messy and doesn't affect airflow so I just haven't yet.

Now, back to my games....
