We have been looking at parts for weeks and finally decided today is the day we are ordering everything. Here is our parts list.
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
I am wondering if anyone can inform me what the difference between the motherboard we have chosen and the Z97 Gryphon? From what I saw, the Gryphon looks inferior and cost about $40 more. I also cannot stand the way the Gryphon looks without the armor on.
The second part is the ram. I am looking for the best 16gigs of ram that the motherboard can handle while still looking aesthetically pleasing. This case has a window on it and we do not want it looking like shit from the outside. We also need to make sure there will be no clearance issues. Thanks again for the help. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.
One last thing. We dont have to go with a Z97 board if it is not worth it. We would like to stick with a high rated mobo, and are looking mostly for stability. Thanks again.

This Pc is for my grandfather. He has a custom built desk with a small opening for it, about 18 inches high. We measured and the 350D will fit perfectly in there. I told him numerous times to go full ATX, but this is what he wanted.
If it is one of the best, why can it not handle high ram speeds? Forgive me, I am a noob. Do you think 16gb of Corsair Dominator 1600 would be fine, or would I be better off bumping up to 1866 if I stuck with the gryphon?

Thank you legend. What color dominator do you think looks better with the gryphon, Gold or Silver? I almost want him to go to with the dominator platinum.
I know this PC is overkill for what a 75 year old man can use it for, but I am hoping that it will be powerful enough to run Evolve and Skyrim when I stop by his house.

can anyone explain to my why the gryphon would be a better choice over the asus one I have picked out already? they seemed to be almost identical but one could handle faster ram, looked better, but couldnt SLI. I dont think we will ever sli. Are there any other reasons why I should choose the gryphon?

I told him the same thing. I know this is over kill but this is one of the last things he wants to do..He's not in the greatest health. So we decided to say fuck it and go all out. Money was not an issue, and we could have sli'd and ran 2 SSDs at the same time, but I was not comfortable setting up that kind of stuff for him.

Hey legend I really appreciate the help. This is the build we are going to go with. I am taking him to the PC shop right now to get a second opinion but have a feeling the list will stay exactly the same. I will be ordering all of the parts on amazon this afternoon. I am even thinking of scooping up a backplate for the 780. They are very nice looking. Too bad the gryphon armor isnt out right now. It would look sweet in there!

sorry, again. one last thing. He is concerned about the h100. Thinks its going to leak all over. I told him It wont. I know you think we should get a smaller corsair but I have seen the h100i fit in the 350d. Are there any high rated air coolers that you recommend other than that noctua, apparently that one is large.
I like the dark rock 2 but cant find it, and the store recommended the thermalright True spirit 120m. I want to make sure there will be enough ram clearance, low song, and looks nice. Im still leaning towards the h100 even though it wont exactly be needed since we wont be overclocking.
