There are two final components that I have yet to purchase for my build, and I was hoping to get your expert blessings first.
I'm pretty new to all of this, and I'm learning as I go along.
Is there something that I am missing, or do you know of a better alternative to the remaining components? Finally, do you recommend any accessories besides Arctic Silver?
Thank you!
The Pending Components are the Heat Sink, Power Supply, and Misc Fans:
Power Supply - $129:
Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-900 900W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Heat Sink - $39.99: Potential Option 1
Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B (SCMG-2100)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185142&Tpk=SCMG-2100
[Note: I chose this heat sink over the Corsair A70, even though the Mugen is supposed to be really tough to install. If you see any problems with that move (like dimm blocking), please let me know. Thanks. Here is a link to the A70: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=35-181-011&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo ]
