I would say that HIGH GLOSS PHOTO PAPER would be the best for this Application.. It is shiny and reflective.. Perfect for emitting White light Red, Blues or Purples too.

you could use the cables you have there for the power for the GPU to hide a bar to push up on the GPU to hold it up, just would take a slight shift in the cablework and it would be hidden from view

@defendtheweak looks like a very respectable pc, reserved but powerful, one thing to keep in mind is what are you going to do for cpu cooling as that cpu can get a decent overclock on it if you so wish, as from what i have seen that motherboard is really good for overclocking. You have also left it pretty well set for further expansion ie 2 more sticks of ram later, another 570 if the prices come down more for sli omf. The only thing i could potentially niggle with is the ram, as the general consensus seems to be that most ram over 1600mhz has little beneifit, so perhaps a 1600 with a tighter 9-9-9-24 or even 8-8-8-24 timings could beneifit u more. (dont take what I say as gospel just an objective opinion biggrin.gif).

potential alts (various brands, other colours ofc are available)

Thanks for the reply J0my

The G.Skill and Corsair RAM that you put the link up for we're actually the first two I looked at but when I go to the memory support list for the Z77 mobo, it's not on there. Idk why these two wouldn't be supported, they are good memory. I do plan on SLI, but after posting my build on this thread I found a different GPU. It has a lot better cooling, what do you think?

herrew, I did a quick perusing of gfx cards on that 560ti and from what i can tell even reference 1.3gb 570's seem to outperform it (subjective i guess) in my new build i am going to stick with my msi 570 twin frozrII as I am going to wait till the 7XX series cards. Where as in your case it may or may not be worth just getting a 670 and be done with it (as they perform even with mild overclocks extremely close to a 680 for $100 less). Up to you, With the ram im no expert but they should potentially still work just as fine on that board altho i did find this for u in the supported ram documentation for that board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231461

and just for reference the first gskill ram i linked is here http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=239 saying z77 support so by all rights it really should work no problems. I was perusing other forums of people who were using ^ ram in even the asrock extreme 4 even tho its not on its support list either and there are no problems, the older ram should be supported just fine, (enable the xmp tongue.gif)

  2. I would use some very strong double sided tape at the top.

    360
  3. Apply the tape over the top of the cards, Out of sight, Make sure that the cards are in the position you want them in.
  4. Then put a stiff piece of wood Plastic or metal. small but stiff on top of the tape and Gently Wrap one end of the Tape around the stiff Materal..

  5. DONE....
