Build Concept/Plan:
*Simple beauty of a Fractal Design Node 304 (ps Fractal Fanboy here)
*Water cooled with H80i and stock Corsair fans replaced with Noctua 120MM PWM's
*92 MM front case fans replaced with Noctura 92MM PWM's
* 4 Gb GTX 760 GPU...Chose Gigabyte Version due to 3 fan configuration that would match up nicely to the side vents on Fractal Case.
*840 EVO SSD, With 2 TB WD HDD.
