You must have done your hw before posting. The only thing I would change is the PSU to a corsair 650tx or 750tx if you would like the crossfire in the future. PC Power & Cooling PSU's are also top quality. Oh and you should look at the Xigmatech Dark Knight CPU Cooler instead of the Artic Cooling Freezer 7. All of this can be found on newegg. Hope this helps!

PSU I wasn't too sure about... to be honest, I thought this sigma was good because it had wrapped cables, and led's... reviews seemed good across the board. I'll look into other PSU's, modular would be nice...

 

[fullmetall]

its a pretty low amperage on that psu for 635w.

heres an antec for the same price,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016

and the s1283 would be the same price, i dont see the arctic cooling 7 pro in stock.


everything seems to be legit other than the psu...

if you do decide on the s1283, would recommend a retention bracket because the pushpins work but, a big pain to get on.

now, if you wanted to, the antec nine hundred, you can change into a antec 300, same size basically.

ok, changing to

Finalized, unless I hear otherwise... anyone else have any input?
