Hey guys,
First time poster on the forum, but have been reading Tom's for quite a while now. Decided to treat myself to a gaming rig, but haven't built one in about 6 years. So please, your constructive opinions and REASONS would be greatly appreciated. The system will definitely be overclocked, so this build is made with that in mind.

All feedback is appreciated, and again, if your opinion is different, please state your reasons. I'm pretty set on this build, but I want to make sure it's not a "confused" build, as this will be my main gaming rig for at least the next 2-3 years. Thanks again.
