Any issues with this build? Main points of question are the motherboard, memory (faster?), power supply (should I drop down from the HX to TX). The majority of my reseach has been on the motherboard, would like to stay with the Z77 and ASUS if possible. I looked at everything from ASROCK xtreme 4 to the top of the line Giga and every ASUS inbetween. The Pro has alot of the features I like, Wifi, numerous USB 3/2, fan xpert, SLI for future proof, Intel Lan conroller, decent overclock caps. I know there are better boards but I can't justify a $400 MB.
I already have the M4, and I am dead set on the HAF XM.
