don't buy that PSU . real thermal issues and low capacitors
get xfx xtr 650 . solid unit
and why going micro atx

Cool! I'll check out that PSU.. I'm doing micro atx for a nice looking compact build.. Although I might just do with the asus HERO and do the 450D seeing as it has better airflow on the front

So I already own the h100i and the SSD and HDD..

So is this good? I didnt want to go with the asrock because I am going with a red/black theme! And the hero is a better mobo.
