Old rig kamikaze'd itself. Here's my replacement.

My old rig, a 2700k based system, blew itself up a couple weeks ago. So, i took the opportunity to go all out on a new Kaby Lake build. Here's what i just put together. Been fiddling with kexts this afternoon and still have some work to do. I'll post some screenshots once i get everything dialed in.

Windows is up and running, and I'm floored by the performance so far over what i had. CPU is sitting pretty at a generous 5ghz overclock with temps staying well under 80*C under load.
