I wanted to post some pictures and see if any veterans can spot mistakes before I turn it on.














That last picture is the one that has me concerned. I'm not really sure if my power supply should be facing up or down. Currently it is facing up to intake and remove air from the case. I'm not really worried about the power supply getting warm case air because I have lots of fresh intake fans. My main concern is that the PSU fan is pulling in air about an inch away from the Graphics fan which is also pulling in air.

Will they starve each other? I have a side fan that blows almost directly between the two GFX cards, and a bottom fan and a front fan that pretty much blow right in that area. I just don't know enough about this stuff to tell.

Please let me know if you see anything else that jumps out as possible concerning.

Here is my rig. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KMWH7P

Disregard your concerns, it looks fantastic. You did a great job on your first build. My first build involved two motherboards and two additional power supplies. BE THANKFUL!! ahaha. Boot her up and run some stress tests. Use speccy to check the temps.

That is really good to know! I must say, that I spent a very large amount of time browsing the site and reading articles and guides on hardware. I've learned a sizable amount about something that I spend 8 hours on a day! I've loved this experience very much and look forward to upgrading again!

EDIT: Haha! I forgot to put my Crossfire Bridge on!
EDIT, EDIT: I also forgot to hook up anything to my optical drive lol!
