looks good, really good actually, but idk the brand of the PSU, so idk if thats a reliable 1

 

if i were you i'd go for a Coolermaster or Corsair or Silverstone PSU, doesn't really have to a 1000Watt PSU, thats a bit overkill tho

 

if i were you i'd go for this 1:

 

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/850w-corsair-cmpsu-850txuk-tx-80-plus-80-eff-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-140mm-fan-5-year-warranty

 

or this 1:

 

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/850w-silverstone-op850-olympia-80-eff-sli-crossfire-22db-120mm-fan

 

or something similar to those 2

 

anyways nice build

 

PS: go for a different case, i find it kinda ugly, tho, get a Lian-Li or Coolermaster or even Antec

Don't get SLI yet, just buy the mobo with 2 pci-e slots, buy one card, and if later when you need the fps boost, buy the second card. This does you a few favors -You'll save a few bucks by buying later when the price reduces -You find out that you don't need the second card, and thank Allah you didn't buy it. I dunno, looks good to me other than that. I'm tired, I'm sure potshot will have some sort of witty retort by the time I get back

I HAS THIS WUN.

 

Fucking awesome. Cable management is pretty good. LOTSA room. Lights are purty (adding a 200 mm red led side fan this xmas), moves lots of air.

 

The only thigns that make me sad face are that the inside of the case is unpainted and there is no side window, but being as there is no window, the paint doesn't even matter, derp.

shit case imo... its ugly as fuck. Haf322

 

I dont know your PSU brand.. corsair

 

Dont buy two GPU quite...save that money and make an intel build instead!!

 

other than that have fun!!

Hear hear.

 

Also, agree on what's been said about the PSU. Power is an important part of any system and you shouldn't be tight with the money you spend on one. Shitty PSU's wreck expensive systems.

sorry its just that I gagged a little when I saw the case...

 

reminds me of the tools that put giant exhaust on their POS civic cause it looks "cool"
