"I’m not the protagonist of a novel or anything…I’m a college student who likes to read, like you could find anywhere. But… if, for argument’s sake, you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be… a tragedy." ~ Kaneki Ken

• UPDATE 9/2/15: Added CPU cooler

• Hello folks, here's my completed build for my first PC. I based my build on my favorite anime, Tokyo Ghoul. Since I'm a poor a** college student, my budget was limited but nonetheless I squeezed it to the brink of my bank account. It was a fun and stressful time building this PC as well as my brothers, but overall it was pretty easy.

• Kaneki Ken - Part Selections
• CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 - Picked it because I need an i7 for 3D modeling/rendering in Maya and Adobe Programs in CC. DIDN'T go for a i7-4790K because I don't plan on overclocking + I'm poor already, don't judge xD Reason why I kept the CPU fan as well
• MOBO: The MOBO was on sale and looks really sick when on (glowing red LEDs). I WAS gonna go for a Z97 board and do SLI in the future, but once again, budget reasons.
• Memory: Cheap RAM and matches color scheme that I was going for.
• Storage: Samsung SSD's have never failed me and by far the best SSD's I've ever used (I've had 3 in laptops). Was debating between WD Black or a WD Blue, went with the WD Blue because it has the same basic performance and it was cheaper.
• Video Card: IS THIS NOT THE SEXIEST GRAPHICS CARD YOU'VE EVER SEEN!?!? It matched my case perfectly and was cheaper than most GTX970s (Strix included), but the newest in Asus's line of cards.
• Case: The case is really modern looking and it was an easy case to handle for a beginner like myself. It has excellent cooling and the cleanest cable management layout. The stock fans are actually really great so I didn't need to buy a lot of extra fans. I was trying to go for a white, black, and red build in semblance to Kaneki (Black hair, White Hair, and Kagune).
• PSU: I was either gonna go with Corsair, EVGA, or Antec. I stuck on Antec because it was the cheapest Platinum Grade PSU I could find with all positive reviews on all the sites I visited.
• Monitor: Needed a decent display for Photoshop and rendering so this was the cheapest IPS Monitor I could fnd with positive reviews. It looks very nice as well on the desk with its extremely small bezel.
• Keyboard: I'm a Corsair fan and have a couple of their amazing mice, so why not their keyboard too? It also matched the color scheme for what I was going for.
• Case Fans: Corsair LED fans for lighting up the inside of the case. Silent fans and highly reliable in quality.
