Looks awesome! How does it perform?

Well, as you'd expect from an i5 and a gtx 970. pretty much everything maxed out 1080p 60fps. temps are a bit high for a watercooled system, with the cpu and gpu at maximums of ~60 C, but still ok.

That is one beautiful build, I just love parallel configurations for cooling CPU and GPU, but the way you implemented it, it looks even better. A little like a minimalist ripcage, very unique. I also like that you didn't go for coloured coolant. The combination of transparent panels and tubes, black parts and a few silver accents looks extremely eye-catching and understated at the same time. Well done!

Thanks for the nice words! Funnily enough many redditors suggested adding color to the coolant or rgb lighting...
