Thanks Jbaker. I was proud of my self for this build actually! Lol

I have an Antec PSU

That monitor is really nice! I might grab that actually.

I do have a question about the HSF, Is the v8 not good? or is it just over priced?

Reply to TheGreatDew

It's not really that overrated, it's just overpriced imo
