Thanks for the continued support for this build. I haven't changed anything with regards to adding another GPU, simply because of the costs I'd incur with pumps, rads, blocks, etc., At this time, it's just not worth the aggravation - especially considering that the GPU is not overclocked, and even within a MicroATX case, it doesn't go above 65 to 66 Deg C while gaming @ 1080p, everything maxed out. As for the looks, I prefer maximum airflow / minimum clutter over everything else, so although the RM850 that originally was in this rig was easier to cable manage due to 100% flat cables, it HATED supplying power to the classified. Hence, it was replaced with an SS-1050XP3 by Seasonic. Better power delivery, and the coil whine is now gone. What i've learned from this project is that if you want something done, it needs to be planned out. Rather than haphazardly putting in components and then hoping they fit, take the time to measure, measure the cable lengths you'll need for connections (and how much will need to be hidden behind the back panel), measure the GPU length, and the loop as well. The H220x fits in there with less than a millimeter of clearance (the 8-pin for the CPU is resting right below the bottom of the rad, and it's touching it, but not being pressured). Also, getting the 32GB RAM to behave was a bit of a challenge, I had to turn down my OC to 4.2GHz / 1.18v in order to prevent the CPU from overheating. It's OK though, this rig was originally going to be an office rig until a change of events prevented that from happening. But now, it's uneventfully running Windows 10 Build 9879.

Thanks to everyone who has commented! @notfordman: the monitor is spectacular. It's brutally accurate in color rendering, and it can do 4K @ 60hz - albeit with a tiled screen it can be interesting, to say the least. As for putting in a 2nd GPU, I am giving it some serious thought... especially if I can get some blocks, tubing, rad, and a good pump / res combo.

Nice clean build this and you have room for a second GTX 780 Ti Classified, well worth it too if you'd ask me :) +1 from me for this beauty :)
