I would really appreciate any feedback - especially if anyone has the EVO+Ripjaws+Sabertooth+GTX770 setup already. Don't want the cooler and the ram to fight with each other (for space). Also - the Fractal design seems to accommodate the ASUS GTX770 (barely).
Appreciate any comments.

Why everyone not going with XFX 750 BEFX, isn't it much cheaper and provide super efficient power.

They're rated well and are also modular. I don't know why someone would choose something else.
