      Wow that looks really great.
      Did you paint those components or are there actual white pc part innards now? What case is that?

      Its a https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prodigy-m
      All components are as bought, I was planning on spraying the black grille on the top of the case.
      The white components do hold a price premium though...

      I wanted the Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX because its sexy as hell (below) but it was too large for the case.
      I also wanted the 1080 HOF because its much nicer but my budget didn't stretch that far and I wasn't sure it would fit int he case. (pic below too)

              Very nice 🙂
              I see that it's a reverse mounted/mirrored case.
              Was that a deliberate choice or a happy accident?

                Very deliberate
                But I am very impressed you noticed

                  @AshleyJR I have that case in orange! Love how roomy it is for a mini-tower. It's just sitting in a closet right now but was at one point a home built NAS.

                    I like how you heard white with red bits and then built a classy seutp to suit. Very nicely done.

                      Thanks, I tried my best, I went for looks over spec

                        Modest? That's closer to a barn burner than a modest system I think. The only component you may be lacking in is the i5 rather than an i7, and that's mostly cosmetic.

                          Yep, this will run most modern games and applications at a really high setting. Even that i5 is crazy for gaming and everyday usage.

                            Not really its an entry level current generation CPU, GPU with a bit of ram for video editing
