Well, until I find out someone else used that build name. 
Just pulled the trigger on a few things minutes ago, so this won't be updated with pics anytime soon! What I ordered:
Asus Crosshair IV Hero X370 motherboard from Newegg
Trident Gskill DDR4 2x8GB kit (3600mhz / CL15) from Newegg (not RGB, just silver / red colors)
Ryzen 1700 from Direct Canada
Intel 1TB M.2 NVME SSD from Direct Canada
Nikon D5100 camera from Gdesmo
Not sure exactly what I'm doing for a GPU yet. I'm waiting for Vega, since I'm starting to hate team green like Hitler hated jews! So I might either use my dual GTX 980's and make this my daily driver, or use my old Radeon 7950 with it (all my GPUs are underwater). I don't even have an OS for this thing yet. Might pick up another copy of Spyware 10 for it, or toy around with Linux. The plan is "fluid" at the moment.
I will be overclocking (of course), and setting manual RAM timings, which is why I got the low latency CL15 3600mhz stuff. Even if it doesn't run at 3600, the low latency means there's a good chance it will run 3200 with even lower latency. This will be an interesting experiment.
Water cooling is also TBD. If I make this my daily driver, I already have triple 360's in my Case Labs M8 (and a fourth TFC Admiral 360 in a box somewhere). I also have a Thermaltake P5 case with an EK 480 rad, a white Bitfenix Aurora that will hold 2 Darkside LP240 rads, etc. Got pumps too, a pair of D5 varios in the main rig, and 2 D5 strong pumps in storage. I just need a CPU block for the Ryzen, or maybe an AM4 Heatkiller mount for my Darkside Heatkiller block.
More to come!!
