Looks good! ;)

One thing though, the CAS latency is more important than the memory speed when it comes to video editing and such. For gaming the speed is more important.

Actually, I was referring to the amount of RAM for editing, not the speed. I haven't OC the cpu or anything yet. I've been researching good methods on how to OC, so for now the cas is still at 9 across the board for a 1333 speed on the memory, which is decent from what I understand. meh, I know 16 is a bit of overkill, but when the wife gives the go ahead on spending the money, why not, right? lol

Tip: route all of your power cables throough the back, it will make it much neater, you have 1 going over the mobo directly from the psu, loop that around.

I have to see about getting some extension cables first. The ones that are in the picture are just not long enough to go behind the mb. But that could take awhile, my wife would have a fit if I spent anymore money on that pc, haha

I am such a dunce, lol. I realized that I installed my PSU with the fan facing up! Flipped it over with fan down over the vent and now that one cable is just long enough to reach around behind the MB
