Sorry wrong SSD. This is the one I'm actually using: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct500mx200ssd1

 

Also what do you think about this motherboard vs. the gigabyte? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-h87mpluscsm

Get Z97 MBO, you won't be able to OC with H87

750W is overkill unless you plan to SLI get better quality 550-650W PSU

Hi everyone, 

 

I was looking for any feedback on this build. I want to do some 2K gaming, distributed computing, 3D and 2D modelling. I also want to try to get it as quiet as possible, which is partly why I've picked the Asus Strix and the watercooler. I'll also be buying quiet fans. 

 

Any suggestions? Any noted incompatibility issues? I'm OK with the one drive being disabled since I don't need much storage. I have some old legacy drives which I'll be putting in for storing photos, music, etc.

I know the case isn't made anymore, but I have it from an old build and I like the size.
