Hey guys, I posted here a few days ago about my $700-$800 gaming PC that I was going to build.

I ended up going with these parts.

Very nice of you to report back, and happy to hear you got it all up and running with no problems.

Good luck with the PC.

Congrats on the build, very nice. How do you like the CM Storm Scout case? I will be finishing a similar build tonight, and am just kicking myself for not getting the 690 II or the Storm Scout. I went with the Thermaltake V9 Black in a moment of impulsive cheapness.

Oh sorry about the late reply. The CM-storm is very nice. Couple things I should mention though.

The molex connector for the top fan was stuck on the left side of the case (The side that doesn't open) and I had to re-wire it so it would reach my PSU molex.

The LED molex connector was stuck under the motherboard tray and it took me about 20 minutes to get it out.

After that though all was fine.
