This is what I have currently. I just upgraded the power supply, video card, and case earlier this week. I plan on getting a second monitor to match the 27" soon'ish but other than that, I'm not sure where to go from here.

You might want to rethink that keyboard. The Logitech g910 has raised keycaps and it actually makes typing really horrible because your fingers catch on the raised bits between keystrokes. Maybe yours won't, but it is a very common complaint.

Also you should get ram as a single pack whenever possible. Ram actually comes with memory profiles built into it so 4 sticks of ram packaged together will have a built in memory profile that tells your computer to use 4 sticks in the optimal settings. 99.9% chance 2 packages of 2 sticks will work fine with the same speed but in the event of a system crash computers boot with default settings (like only using 2 sticks of ram) to ensure the computer is as likely to boot without problems as possible.

tl;dr get a 4 stick pack of ram it will give you less headaches and the g910 keyboard is designed for people with alien fingers.

I've had the keyboard for a couple months now and I haven't noticed any issues yet . If I do start to get annoyed by it, I will just buy a new one. Originally I bought 2 sticks of ram, thought they were defective, and ordered more only to find out they were fine. I just decided to keep them after that but I will definitely look into what you said. Thanks a lot.

Update! Progress modding that god awful sidepanel on the Corsair Scimitar mouse. Seriously, why slap a yellow sidepanel on a rgb device? "You can set the lights to any color you want so it will match any theme you have... as long as it goes with yellow!" ffffffuuuuuuuu

Ninth Order!
http://s8.postimg.org/fx56ykb0l/Custom_Build_Ninth_Order.png
I purchased some non-conductive paint to cover up the red on the motherboard & SSDs, and the yellow on the gpu. Any one of those could break so that will be fun for you guys to watch and root against me on. Also as I plan to get a large (37" +) 4k tv I purchased a laptop cart so I can use my keyboard, mouse, and headset a comfortable distance from my 4k display.

All I need now is an os, headset, and chair!

The monitor mount turned out really nice! Low profile & no visible cords. At 144hz the monitor is really very crisp and clear (even if they did over price it and falsely represent its features.) Btw this is not my gaming monitor but serves to play tv shows/movies (or as an all white screen for a reading light). Also the monitor is centered, for me, as I only get to use half the bed.

While an excellent buy at $15 (Others cost $140) I feel the one place it cut corners was for some reason the included screws. Both of them stripped and even bent! So I ended up spending $1 on screws. I don't understand why they would cheap out on $1 worth of screws when it is $125 cheaper than the products it is trying to outsell.

Really loving how neat and clean this is looking. (Note I have not built the computer yet, but I'm storing the tower under the desk. I also haven't done cable management yet.) (Also my mouse hasn't arrived yet so I'm using a stand-in.)

The FantasyCart laptop tray which I'm using as a keyboard&mouse cart is adjustable to fit chairs at any reasonable height and lets me play a comfortable distance from my 42" hdtv.

Origami RDE desk is excellent. Sturdy, 4 step assembly, sleek looking, >$100, & has a spacious undershelf. Which is a must for my needs because I have had minor flooding before (always under half an inch) and the shelf not only fits my massive Corsair 750d but also affords it 5.5 inches of airflow/floodproofing on the bottom (counting the height from the feet of the tower) and 3 inches of airflow between the top of the tower and the table. To the right is my UPS which also comfortably stores under the desk. Overall I'm loving the redesign of my gaming environment.

I already own the Vsonic GR07 Mk2 earbuds so I can use them with my mic to avoid audio loops, I just need to mount it somewhere creative as I don't like headsets. So all I need now is an os, chair, and to replace my tv with a 42" 60fps 4k monitor with g-sync when one gets invented!
