'Contrasted'
I Built this machine as I was looking at 15" MacBook Pro Retina's. I could not afford the specs I wanted and in turn built a hackintosh.
After Months of research (3 Months), and a day or two of building, I give you Contrasted, a Black and White themed build.
I don't have a lot of photos, especially the end steps, but there is the final product, but I do have the main ones.

Intel Core i5 4690K
Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK Motherboard
Kingston Hyper X Fury White 1866Mhz Ram 16GB kit
Corsair H105 Liquid CPU cooler
EVGA GTX 760 SC ACX 2GB
Kingston Hyper X Fury 120gb SSD
WD Green 2TB HDD
Silverstone 600w PSU
*PERIPHERALS*
Dell S2415h Monitor 1080p
CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i keyboard (88 Key)
