Hey guys! I received a Dell 2713HM (1440p) as a gift so I would like to put together a gaming build to use with this monitor. I’m considering getting a EVGA 970 ACX 2.0 FTW when it becomes available. How does it look? Will it be compatible, specifically the power connectors, with this motherboard? Thanks

Bad idea.... EVGA ACX is defective ... heat sink only covers 2/3 of the GPU ... grab the MSI, it's a beast

Other comments ....

1. Don't see a need fr a high end cooler on an non k processor
2. RAM gets installed in matched pairs ...2 x 4G
3. Your OS will boot fast on the SSD, your games will go slow on a 5900 rpm HD
4. No reason for all those fans, you have nothing that gets hot.
