Okay when I get home ill update the power supply because I will wanna upgrade in the future. Ill also re add the 770. Then ill need to find different low profile memory and rethink my monitor and I think ill be good to go?

ANother suggestion. You can buy a corsair h60 water cooler for the same price as that air cooler. Silent and as same or better than the 212. Then you wont have to worry about low profile ram.

I'd not thought of going that route, is it very difficult to do?

You're way, way overshooting here. A good quality strong 550w+ psu would be plenty.

I also would choose a good price/performance selection over overshooting your range and doing an SLI later.

700w so he is prepared for future SLI.

And yes, the h60 hooks up just like a regular cooler., but its got lines that run to a radaitor that you mount on the case, then mount fan on the other side.

The H60 is $55+.

The EVO will work just as good for $20+ less. None of those prefilled water coolers are particularly good for how much they cost.

Notice how I mentioned not doing an SLI in that post.

Notice how the person building the computer didn't?

This is the biggest problem about building a rig. There is no perfect way. Hell there is no right way. I say if it plays what you want and fits your budget, go for it. You can spend weeks doing this over and over again.

Yeah I think i might just keep it cheaper and simple for now and keep the fan. any recommendations for 8gb of low profile ram?

Shogun 11-24-2013 08:01 PM

added http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair...gx3m1a1600c10b

its still corsair vengeance. and its 1x8gb stick, its low profile and cheaper than 2x4gbs

took off the keyboard to keep cost lower also, can deal with my logitech for the time being

I'm a little hesitant on the AsRock MOBO after reading so many reviews of people getting theirs and finding out either the pins in the RAM slots are bent, or the MOBO itself was just DOA out of the box

Since you live in Olathe, I would definitely go to Microcenter. It's a just a hop down I-35 from ya...

Here is the November catalogue there.

I believe they price match places like newegg as well.

Damn, I can get my 770 GPU $80 cheaper on there.
