This is my first build in a very long time( in technology standards at least). I was hoping I could get some feedback from the experts.

The reason I went with the 750w PS is that I might(probably) want to crossfire two of those GTX 670s in the future. Oh, and I would have like to have swapped out the 975 cpu for a 1100T but unfortunately the only place i could find any was at NCIX on back order. Thanks for all your input.
