Already purchased and was the first component to arrive, i originally was going to get the sabertooth but i was wanting to save a couple pennies and also i wanted to colour code the system, hint the colour was the biggest downfall for me.

I was pretty happy when i got the GPU for $400, brand new, so the 2k price i have set there is not retail.

Which color case did you order? And how much was the SSD? Looks like a pretty darn good build for 2K!

I was going to say get the ROG board. It was a bit more money but came with better spec and a free year of anti-virus witch actually made it cheaper. Seems good for the most part.
