All looks fine, other than the overpriced as hell RAM.

 

Either way, enjoy it. And replacing the stock fans with SP120s is useless (other than on the CPU cooler), like SP120s themselves.

I want two of them so bad D:

 

They aren't as expensive as I recall them being, did the price go down or something? They're $359.99 at Newegg.

@Biology

 

What she said. The G1 is better then the STRIX in every aspect except the useless silent fan feature and the stupidly huge bandwagon you get to hop on. The cooler is better, you get cherry picked GPU chips, and along with that, the VRMs have also been beefed up, so you get epic overclocks on the G1.

Missed that as well, thanks. Honestly Dominator Platiniums are for rappers. For the rest of us, HyperX Fury is the most you'll want to be spending on RAM.

That's not bad, wouldn't be worth the effort to return them for something else at this point
