Thanks bro!


Sorry I missed your post, dude. I overstayed my welcome so I'm not around here much anymore. That's a wicked system! Enjoy!


I ended up moving to a larger case (500R) because I wanted added room for H80i. Went a step up to the GTX 770 instead of the 760. Also went to the 1TB WD Black instead of Blue.

Tech support emailed to tell me the Seasonic 650W power supply was out of stock. I could have waited four to five days or change it out. I chose the Seasonic 750W, hybrid, fully modular power supply instead.

I am confident these parts will run in excellent harmony. Now its time to hope all the parts arrive in good condition... then the fun really begins.


I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
