Core Components From Gigabyte
We would like to offer our thanks and apprciation to Gigabyte for sponsoring hardware for this build! At the heart of this build is the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard which is a perfect match for the Apex Pro Skeleton’s clean industrial aesthetic and is paired with the Gigabyte Eagle OC RTX 4070 Ti video card. To power the entire system we have the Gigabyte AORUS ELITE P850W 80+ Platinum Modular PSU!

The Alphacool Apex Skeleton Pro
The foundation of this build is centered around the new Alphacool Apex Pro Skeleton PC case. It’s a top choice for custom PC builders looking for flexibility, style, and a modular open-air setup. Made from high-grade materials like real carbon fiber and CNC-milled aluminum, it’s incredibly lightweight yet sturdy enough to handle high-end liquid cooled builds.
CPU & GPU Waterblock Pairing
We went with the Alphacool Core 1 Aurora CPU block in Carbon to match the case’s carbon fiber look and the Eisblock Aurora RTX 4070 Ti Eagle OC block with backplate. The polished nickel and acrylic on the GPU works well with the distro and adds some contrast. I will also give Alphacool extra points for making sure the carbon patterns matched on the case frame and CPU block.
