lol! You're right.. I just checked gpu-z and it's at the x8 slot :r. I'll be switching the gpu tomorrow, thanks for the heads up :) does this mean even higher FPS ? edit: changed it to the top slot and it's running x16 3.0 now :) thank you very much for pointing that out ^^

You're welcome :) And no not really :l I did open my case up again after all the comments and took a good look at the wiring beneath the GPU, but I couldn't find a way to make it better.. It's actually pretty 'clean' imo. I didn't use any cables that weren't neccesary and I tried to keep them...

First off; I'd like to thank everyone who helped me and adviced me to build this beast myself ! :) The building process went really smooth :) Attaching the cpu cooler was the hardest part imo. Also, the cabling process was really complicated for me, being a first timer, but luckily my uncle (...

It's in the right socket ^^ thank god for manuals ;D I'll be adding the pictures soon :) It's up and running or should I say kicking ass!! ;D

My build is completed up to the part where I need to connect all the cables. I did this build together with my dad, who has no knowledge about building pc's either, but I think we did quite alright. The cpu-cooler was a real bitch to get in place.. Also, I left the psu out because I am using it...

So do I .. There's so many cables ! It looks overwhelming for a first time but we'll see :) Just a quick question though, am I supposed to attach the cpu cooler after or before I put the motherboard in my case?

I don't think so :l It's past 14:00 and bpost doesn't do any deliveries after that time so I have little hope I'll still get my cpu and ram today.

All parts are in the house! I might start building today. Depends if I have the time for it! #02/01/2013

Don't worry, I'll give you guys some nice pictures in return for all the help I got here^^

Do you know how often I should put new thermal paste on my cpu?

Will do guys ^^ I just hope all my parts arrive in one piece and without factory defects. I'm not really fond of buying stuff over the internet.

As for the h100i cooler, I didn't go with that because of some bad reviews. People reported it leaking, and I don't want to risk ruining my entire system. Since I won't be overclocking like a lunatic I'm sure the air-cooler will suffice. Furthermore I think this setup should be able to handle...
