Corsair TX V2 850W PSU (maybe changing it too Corsair AX 1200W PSU) - ordered

OS:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit - installed

Add-ons:
8PIN extension of ATX - installed
Corsair H50 water cooling kit (upgrading too H80?)
Samsung DVD ± RW Burner (Blue-Ray upgrade?) - ordered

and ofc you know about the CPU, GPU, MOBO, and the other stuff.. so i dont care giving you more info about that 🙂 ty for following 🙂

just kidding. BUT there where some complications with the motherboard, so i cant give you an complete "worklog" on the mounting, since when i finally should press the power button, it wouldnt boot. not even check if there where an cpu, ram, gpu or anything (Qleds).
So i had to return the stuff and put my Crosshair IV formula Motherboard inside it again.
but, i hope it is back soon!

here are some more pics. (i put an 140mm exhaust fan on the sidepanel too, hoping it would bring me some more cooling..)

uploading some more pics as we speak!

Oh how often I forget the beauty of Fractal cases... Looking AWESOME man, keep us posted on the build!

EDIT: For the PSU you could also check out the Silverstone Strider Gold series, I am pretty happy with my 1200w.

That is the one, I have been running with it for the past 9 months and really like it. If you cannot find one locally then def. go for the AX. Or if you feel like waiting, 80+ Platinum is supposedly planned to hit market by the end of year [rumored].
