Looks perfect to me.

 

I would recommend the Phantek's Enthoo Pro case since it's super nice for the money.

Only thing I would suggest is to wait for the 900 series as they are close and to use something else other than the RM650, EVGA G2 series are some o the best on the market.

I told him to look at that he said it looks fat in the front :P

How long would you think until it's released?

It's fine. Maybe get a 750 watt just for 780sli in the future, if you want,

I was also thinking that but he said he wasn't planning to.

As of right now, rumors are saying tonight/tomorrow is when they will be unveiled. AGAIN these are just rumors.

ThyFeared, hi there,  

The build looks just wonderful. Kudos for choosing drives from our Black line (the one, designed for gaming and for creative individuals). If your friend didn't like the Phantek's Enthoo Pro, I'm sure you'll find a number of other really good cases within the same price range. Now that the GTX 900 Series Graphics Cards are released, I'd personally give them a try. However, you might wanna see some online benchmarking with the 780 first.

Cheers,

Titania_WD

Go with a Gtx 970 instead of a Gtx 780.
Beats it in benchmarks.
Costs a lot less.
But not sure if its available right now.
Wait for its availability.
