It's finally time to upgrade my Main PC, I'm just upgrading the CPU, Motherboard and RAM.
I didn't have a lot of choice in motherboards as very few in the ASUS range have TPM headers, so this is what I'm going for...
Rest of spec OS DRIVE: 1x Samsung 850 Pro 512GB STORAGE: 2x Western Digital Black 1TB GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS GTX 1060 6GB OC Expedition SOUND CARD: ASUS STRIX SOAR CPU COOLER: Corsair H100i PRO with Noctua IndustrialPPC NF-F12 IP67 2000RPM PSU: Corsair AX860i Digital CASE: Coolermaster CM-690 II USB 3.0 FRONT: Noctua NF-A14 PWM Chromax BACK: Noctua NF-S12A PWM Chromax
I'll post some pictures when it all arrives.

I ordered the parts yesterday, I wasn't expecting them to arrive until Tuesday due to the Bank Holiday, but I got a SMS earlier saying they'd be here today.
So here's a couple of pictures, box shot and a couple of the motherboard just because it looks gorgeous!

I changed the back fan to a Noctua NF-S12A PWM Chromax Premium Grade Fan, mainly for looks, but it's very slightly quieter than the previous one. It's just a shame they don't do a 140mm version for the front!
Here's a quick picture...
