Nice build. The Phanteks cases are awesome, I've had a lot of fun squeezing components into my Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case.

Very nice build Easylover, very handsome young man in the picture, your son?

Those KPE's are extremely nice cards, they run very quiet and cool, and overclock very well
EVGA probably gets some of ASUS sales as they release there top cards almost immediately

@Menthol : Thanks for kind words. Yes he is my son 1.3 years and he has started to walk which is quite an exciting phase for him and for us as well. My daughter 4 years, was sitting right next to me when I was taking pics and this was quite annoying for my son that there was no room for him hence he was walking around to make room 🙂
