I've posted this on the countdown thread but for the sake of this thread I'll just leave the imgur link here so you guys can check it out.

Water cooling my shrine - Imgur
NEW! HOT PICTURE! That's right, GTX 770's in fucking SLI!! No more AYYEMMDEE.


It's the watercooling process of my rig, with a finished photo at the end.
Yes I did tie a tiny string to the GPU to prevent GPU sag as it's a common problem with tacky fucking pieces of shit AMD cards that crash on you because they don't make correct contact with the PCI-Express slot.

You have some nerve showing up here showing us your specs from what I assume is a prebuilt system, if it's not the case then it probably cost you like 4000$ US.
Not only that but only saying what OS, RAM and CPU you have isn't enough in my opinion here. If you're going to post on such a thread, at least do it properly instead of half assing it like this.
Thread OP says you're meant to post pictures of your build here, not list three lines of specs and be done with it. That honestly seems like an insult to this thread alone.
For the record, that last line made me cringe.

RAM: ADATA XPG G Series DIMM Kit 8GB, DDR3-1600, CL9-9-9-24 (AX3U1600GC4G9-2G)

GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort (ZT-50306-10M)

Mouse: Zowie AM-FG

Monitor: Philips 46PFL5507K/12 46" LCD TV


I have everything in an about 7 year old black case, with no cable management - i honestly don't care about how my pc looks

Edited:
I should probably have used DDR3-1333 memory instead, but i don't know remember why anymore - probably something to do with the cpu not beeing fast enough for 1600, or the mainboard supporting it?
