Location: UK
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Need help selecting mobo, as I'm not sure if it worth getting a Sabertooth Z77 for the build I am doing.
Also looking at a fan control panel (Not sure what they are called, due to the amount of fans in the Haf x and noise levels is a concern, but I'm not really that fussed about that, unless it sounds like a jumbo jet.)

Storage: Crucial M4 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($72.45 @ B&H) (Just putting my OS and a bit of editing software on here)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($67.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: MSI Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card ($117.55 @ Newegg)

The PC you built is... well its just bells and whistles to be honest.
The overpriced motherboard and case make this PC very imbalanced.

It is a LOT faster.
The only real sacrifice is that it features a rather generic case so assembling it will won't really be fun.And it's cooling performance is suboptimal but that can be fixed by adding a front fan.
I reccomend this one
