[Build Complete] Bitfenix Prodigy Gaming Build
I recently built my girlfriend a computer using the bitfenix prodigy case and I really liked it, so much so that I decided to get one for myself. I already had a computer I was happy with, but since I needed a new motherboard if I was going to get a prodigy I figured why not upgrade a few parts. The oldest parts in this machine are the processor and the intel SSD, I got those sometime in 2011. A few other parts came from another update in 2012 and the case, motherboard, ram, and the 120GB Corsair SSD are the most recent additions. The AX850 is a bit much, but it was the PSU I had.

I've got some other things I still want to do like my own sleeved cables, covering the side panel with the SSDs and changing out the h100 for a custom WC loop.
I've got the 2600K at 4.4GHz and it idles around 29C. I mostly just game on this and use it for school work. I would upgrade the CPU, but I really don't see a need for it with what I am doing. Maybe once they come out with a wider selection of mini ITX boards.
