Hey guys, been reading these forums for awhile, and I actually got most of my questions already answered. I could use some help in a few questions I have thought while I build my new build.
First off, has anyone used the brand new Asus MAXIMUS VI IMPACT Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard in the Bit Phoenix yet? I assume there is no problems, but I haven't found one review/user talking about using it in the Prodigy.
Secondly, I compared the specs of;

and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121779
I'm not sure why Asus has two of the same cards, was the first one made before the second? Will I notice a huge difference between the two cards? I'm leaning towards the 1st card because of the looks (I want to get a windowed case). I want a quiet card, because I'm already going with the h100i which I read can get loud.
What's it mean when a card "pushs" air out the back...does it actually push air out the PCI Slot? I'm concerned because the case is small, and I don't want to mess with the airflow.
Thanks guys, I'd love the advice. (on a side note, going with the i7, 16gb ram, ssd drives, and haven't picked my PSU yet).
