Can you guys give me your opinion and some inside of how well this build will work and if I should make any changes. I'm trying not to go more than $2200. Thank you in advance. Also I'm trying to go for a black and red theme. And matching brands were I can. I would also love to hear about other liquid cooling options that would work.

Do I really need something like a anti static wrist band?

Though yesterday I went to Fry's and I saw this case didn't really speak to me but it's rubbing off on me and I'm kinda liking it a lot.

Well, I made some minor changes, nothing super big, cheaper mobo, but faster ram, a good thermal compound that's gonna be better than stock.

Case is ALOT about personal preference and the size of the desk you're working with. This is a really nice case though, and very easy to build in.

And here's a few builds that used this case:

And no you don't need an anti static wrist band. Just don't wear socks on carpet, don't wear woolly clothing, avoid actions that purposefully build up static electricity. Also, before touching the parts inside the computer case, you can de-charge yourself by touching (a firm rub or so) the outside of the computer case. Just avoid doing any "Ooo what does this button do?" type touching of hardware without touching the case first.

This is what I would recommend. The case comes with led lighting and this power supply and mobo will support SLI in case you want a second card later on. And 250gb runs out fast if you have a lot of games, so 500 is nice to have.
