Now here again, is a good lesson for all of us. It is very natural for people to "assume", the obvious, which is something we should never do.

Not one of us, thought of something as simple, as trying another cable, because the chances of a new cable being bad is so remote.

Glad you're up an running. How about some more photos when you're ready.

Yeah it slipped my mind as well. The cable was one that had not been used in a while so i didnt think twice. Caused me to freak out a little but everything is fine now. I'm currently installing all the drivers and whatnot. Pics are incoming

I'm also looking forward to some benchmarks as well as photos.

Ok I'm back. sorry for the delay in getting this up but things have been hectic on my end as far as benchmarks go, I'll be honest in that I haven't the slightest idea where i would find that. but i do have pics. most are before i got back in there to do some wiring tidying up. Although you wouldn't be able to tell looking at them

That case is great for cable management. You could route almost all of those cables behind the motherboard tray making for a much cleaner install.

Yupper, you should be able to manage most of that cable foo.

you'll find links to the most popular gaming benchmarks. Run them in their default mode, and then take screenshots, and post your results. This will also help you to determine if your system is performing properly.
