seems like you missed some sort of mass storage 120gigs isnt going to be enough

He had a previous thread stating he already had a 2TB drive waiting and he already discussed most of the build in a separate thread (Granted @amrhamada you should either link to the previous thread or continue in the previous thread).

 

To clarify: He made this thread to be sure that this build will work well and whether it could use improvements as a double check

Good. The case I selected has USB 3.0 at the front and the motherboard has it as well.

290(x)'s do better at 4k because of the 4gb memory
