I think maybe a bigger ssd.
Psu corsair hx or ax 750w will do fine.
Take either vengeance corsair ram or ripjaws by g skill.
And why are ypu setteling for 660 video card. You could get a lot better in that budget

well, im changing the motherboard. a question i would like to ask you is, are you going to use ALL of the ports found on the MVF? if not, get a cheaper board. you are going to do everything the same and overclock the same

this is what i would get

-no loud fisher price watercooler
-low profile ram
-not a overkill motherboard
-not a excessively large case.
-larger SSD
-windows 7. try out windows 8 for a full week before using it
-a video card appropriate for the rig

another question is that do you even watch blu-rays? if not, id get rid of it

actually for the psu, get this unit. more efficient and still made by super flower.

No the BR can go
thanks for the info
Would i see much difference over the corsair Dominator over the vengeance

 

[TheBigTroll]

no. they are the same ram, just with different heatsinks that dont do anything
