Close to my computer. First off, get a power supply with a little more balls. That one is prettty low. This one would work well in your system: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013&IsVirtualParent=1

Second, if building a new system, i`d recommend haswell. May as well build a system that at least has the options for upgrades in the future. If you build an IB system, you`re maxed right from the start.
