oh yeah almost forgot no peripherals

[Shd0w2]

PSU overkill, etc.

[Tole2378]

Uh... 3x4 kit of ram is a little outdated, no?

yeah i just wanted led ram

[AlwaysFSX]

yeah i just wanted led ram

You can get ram with LED's that aren't meant for a motherboard from 2009...

[Langdon]

The TJ07 is a bit outdated now. I'd get something like an Enthoo Primo or go all out and get something from Caselabs.

840 EVO's are a better buy than the Corsair SSDs.

the Tjo-7 is still a boss case and corsair ssd's well i'm just trying to make it as similar as linuses

[_ASSASSIN_]

the PSU is straight up absurd, just get an 850w instead unless you are actually thinking of 4 way SLI 780 TI.

Also there are better SSD's than the one in your build, some good modern ones are

840 EVO

intel 530/730

Kingston HyperX 3K

Plextor MP5 Xtreme (Doesn't have a feature that SSD's need, forgot the name though..)

also WHY THE TJ07? Unless you get it painted black inside, you are basically burning $300

Linus have sponsor you know :3

Anyway, if you like the case it's your choice, since case is mostly the matter of preference, I recommend changing the Ram to G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory or any 2x8GB ram out there, SSD to Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk, HDD to Seagate 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive, PSU to Corsair RM 1000W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (You will want a 80+ Gold PSU more than a 80+ Silver)

And I see alot of ppl saying 1000W is overkill, but then will all the LED, custom water cooler and all, plus IMO it's always better to go around 200W higher than what you needed for a bit of room for any upcoming update, so I think 1000W is ok

First off, there is a video linus made from somewhere way back that states motherboard does not really affect performance, if you want all the bells and whistles go with the one you have now however i recommend changing it up a bit.

You generally made good choices but personally i would keep the 1000W PSU because if you want to upgrade the video cards you always can, go with your current cooling setup, and yeah.

im overclocking

[Guest Philosophy]

Go with a 4x4 or 2x4 ram kit both are better than a 4x3. No need for 1000 Watt Power Supply. I reccomend 800-850 Watt.
