thanks. i like the switch, i may not be the prettiest case but its great for both water and air cooling. i like it to build in and you have lots of space.

Its a really nice build. The PSU is overkill in my opinion but other than that, great. One thing I'd point out is that a gtx 690 isn't really great for surround or high resolutions, due to the fact you're limited to having only 2gb of usable ram.

I've got a switch 810 sitting on my desk waiting to be built in. I'm going with an RoG black and red theme like you, but I'll be using a Maximus V Extreme and a smaller AX850 PSU, with 2 GTX 780's.
