Actually looks pretty good.

If it was me I'd ditch the optical drive (useless), the thermal paste, go with cheaper RAM, and Windows 8.1, but otherwise it looks solid.

Im going to go with Windows 7 for now. Im used to it and have had good experiences with it. If I must ill get 8 or 10 or 12 or Doge... Whatever they are going to call it.

Oh. Ok...

That actualy sounds like a good idea. Thanks for mentioning that.

No problem, good luck with your build! :)

P.S: I understand why you want Windows 7, it's sooo much better :/ I have it right now but luckily I have a Windows 8 code laying around for when 10 comes out! :)
