Gonna replace the GPU with a GTX 580 or 590 in a few months, and transfer the GTX 560 to a pc at work.
Not really ready to go with Solid State yet. // Dont ask, dont know. just not that big of a deal.

Wondering if Sabertooth Z77 will fit into HAF 922 because I cannot for the life of me find a matching build anywhere on the interwebs. Everyone says get the Maximus V, but for 30$ more the Sabertooth seems like a nicer option.

Primary Use:
Gaming ---------------------------- Medium/Hard Core**
Photoshop/Illustrator ---------- Hard Core**
Javascript/PHP/HTML/CSS ----- Hard Core**
Photo/Video Editing ------------ Medium Core**
Some 3D Modeling/Rendering - Easy Core**

Also almost certainly going to attempt Hackintosh as Windows is a piece of garbage and OS X is King ( FLAME ON ).
Building PC 99% for gaming, and IE Testing Web Dev.

-The Motherboard is ATX and the case is ATX compatible so they'll work together
-The 3770 is not able to OC. Not sure if you knew this. If you want to OC get a 3770k

The build looks great though!
Good luck with it!

Thanks, not looking to OC at all.

For $30 more you could get this combo: ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 + Intel Core i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E 3.6GHz.
