Everything going back in the Antec 900 case.
Does anyone see any potential issues with this build? I tried to research as much as I could and everything I could find said this would all work together. (Hopefully it will as it's all headed this way via UPS, lol.) This will be primarily used for gaming, building mods for Skyrim and a little home recording via Cubase and the Steinberg CI 2, as well as the other usual day to day stuff. Oh, I know it's not that important, but this is my 5th or 6th build, so I've basically got enough experience just to be dangerous, lol.
Thanks for the feedback!
