CPU: i7 4770k

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A

GPU: EVGA GTX 770 4GB

RAM: Corsair Vengance Pro 16GB (2x8GB) 2133 

PSU: Corsair AX760i

SDD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB.

CPU Cooling: Corsair H100i.

Case: Corsair 450D


Just wondering on your thoughts of this build thanks :)

No need for an AX760i. Just go with a cheap 600W or 500W like the Corsair CX500M.

DONTDONTDONTDONT GET THAT CASE. I have it. It's horrible. 

FANBOY OF: PowerColor, be quiet!, Transcend, G.Skill, Phanteks

FORMERLY FANBOY OF: A-Data, Corsair, Nvidia

DEVELOPING FANBOY OF: AMD (GPUS), Intel (CPUs), ASRock

I've heard some good things, some meh things about the 450d. I'm curious because I'm thinking about getting it.

Thanks for the feedback, what case would you suggest? And why don't you like the 450D?

Thanks for the example build. I just really like the look of the 450D, so that's why I want it. I just want to know what your problems with it are, so I can decide if they are a deal breaker for me or not :)
