Great looking stylish rig, without all the kiddie bling bling RGB's.
Very nice taste!

It's an interesting build, clean, minimal, with a nice finish.

Those tubes look kind of tortured though. Some angled fitting would help.

So clean & compartmentalised like a dentists tray - you could almost keep your teeth pullers & anaesthetic needles in there! But, for the love of God at least overclock the CPU more than a paltry 4.4Ghz & increase the power target on the GTX 1080 to the max - you're watercooling them after all, a bit of a waste if you're not gonna max it out! I like how you've put the radiator on the outside of the case - so that it sucks in cool air from outside & also exhausts it's hot air to the outside too - I don't know why people don't do that more, it makes perfect sense to me.

EDIT: oh yeah, I didn't read the bit you wrote where you said you were wanting to increase the life span of your components by not using more than stock voltage on the CPU - I don't think you need to worry about that, if you're water cooling (and even if you had a good air cooler - like me (NH-D14)) and you can keep the CPU really cool then you can certainly use extra voltage & I'm confident it wouldn't reduce the lifespan of your components. I mean how long do you want to keep it - more than 10 yrs or something?! Does feel like a waste of the water cooling - sure it's super quiet, but I reckon it would still be quiet with an overvolt & further overclock on the CPU too. I'm running my 6700K @1.4V and 4.7Ghz, and using NH-D14 cooler I have the fans at lowest possible fan speed using the ULV adapter (pretty much inaudible) and temperatures are in the region of 60 degC during Prime95 - it is delidded though. Your watercooling can handle it! ;-)
