Additional Comments: I posted this build on a few other forums for critique/review, and some of the following concerns were raised, so if possible I would like some clarification.
1. "One thing I did notice is that the Mobo didn't have a Internal I/O USB 3 connector for your front panel on the case! Also if you want to OC the Processor, is good to get a Mobo that has an extra 6 pin connector to supply more power. But then you need a PSU with more PCI connectors."
2. "RAM: You MAY run into issues if you ever decide to get the other 2 sticks. even if you get the same part number."
