Now im hard set on my hard drives (because of the performance, storage space as well as reliability... i dont trust Caviar Greens, thats why i went with Blacks... And crucial has more storage space around the same price with not too bad of a performance) and now the sexy lil Air 540 case. but that only adds a bit to the build... overall another good build....

Im very indecisive as well... I usually pick and choose and change my mind up tho the point i purchase the part, and sometimes even then i will change my mind I was thinking about SLI but im not really running multiple screens nor am i running 4k so i figured i can add 2nd card in few months, im in no hurry, but it will eventually happen LOL I can always buy a new router or a better monitor instead... (or additional back up external drive... Im anal when it comes to back ups...) so alternatively i could switch the i5 in the 1st build for i7 but beside that im not seeing anything that i would switch around (possibly thats just for now... )

You seem to know what you're doing/what you want. Just go with whatever you feel will be the most beneficial to you. If that means not going two way SLI and buying a router/monitor/backup drive, then go for it! Don't let me tell you what to do. In the end, it's your money and your choice. Plus, Your budget gives you a lot of freedom and flexibility to do what you want (seriously, that's a lot of money for just a build.. maybe buy a cheap pc and give me the rest? ).

Sorry for the bad grammar and spelling.. I'm on my phone
