750w is too much, unless you want breathing room (Overclocking cannot be done), currently the SAMSUNG EVO 850 500gb is the same price and like 80x better.

Swap the case for a enthoo pro

I would get that 750W Bronze from EVGA instead.

Add a HDD with the money you saved

Get him to answer why a 500GB SSD

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

nope, he just wants fast storage. He had a lot of money to spend and speaking he plays easy to run games, it was decided to spend it on that instead of an OP graphics card

ty for pointing it out though

A few of $ more, but G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory have an orange heat sink. Or, if a lighting appeals Avexir Core Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory have orange LED along the top.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

well I mean it says that the first compatible bios for the 4590 was F9, and all of the normal haswell CPUs were first compatible with F9

 

so with that logic the board has support for all processors out of the box

Gigabyte hasn't been doing anything exceptional lately. Their board quality has been on par with all the other big companies, but if anything, their UEFI BIOS sucks. It's hard to understand, confusing to get around, and fan control is hideous. 

 

There isn't really anything against getting mATX in this case, I would consider future CF, but PSU isn't enough for two 290s anyways.

It'll look very odd in such a big case. And to each their own, I love Gigabyte's BIOS and they have just been very reliable.

Well then might as well make it so that a second 290 can be accommodated later on
