About 2/3 years ago, I said goodbye to my x79 build. Today, we say goodbye to my x99 build by forever immortalizing it in the completed builds forum. It served it's purpose well through many games and miscellaneous activities. But all things must end and I am moving to the x299 platform just as I moved to the x99 platform.
If anyone has any questions about the parts in this build, feel free to ask.
Pretty good CPU. Back in the day, it was considered one of the best. But today with the new Ryzen processors, I'm not so sure it would have been so popular given its slower clock speeds and 28 PCIe lanes. Never had a problem with it though, it handled everything I threw at it regardless.
Pretty good CPU cooler. Kept my temps near or under 40c at idle and under 85c at full load.
Awesome looking motherboard. Very easy to use BIOS and feature rich. Never had a problem with it.
Not the fastest DDR4 ram, but it got the job done. Never had an issue with the RAM. Worked just fine running two 2x8gb kits together.
Fast SSD, low storage space compared to today's growing standards.
Fast SSD, pretty low storage space given today's standards.

Fantastic SSD. Great storage size for a good price. I use this drive for my steam library and it works great.
Been using this HDD for a few years now. Blanked it a few times and its still going strong. Fantastic drive, can't go wrong with WD.
Awesome GPU. Handles everything I have thrown at it with incredible speed. The only reason I took a star off is that this card is not meant to be oc'ed. Its got slightly worse cooling that its FTW3 counterpart and less power making it harder to overclock.
Roomy case with great looks. Pretty easy to build in. Made mostly of metal making it extremely durable.
I've had this PSU for over 3 years now and its still going strong. Never once had an issue. The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of sleeved cables.
Good monitor. Looks great when viewing straight on. I do wish it was an IPS panel though.
