First build

Yes it is a 960 but if overclocked, IT already has a high core clock. It could be just like a 970. White and Black build with a hint of blue

The problem with pc part picker is that I don't have a microcenter close to me, and i usually don't do mail in rebates

HAHA wow! how can you guys get these beast hardware for cheap? mxm... hey I really like the enthoo pro, so If I chose a cheaper ram and power supply i could buy that? and maybe squeeze in a 970 somehow? how about an I5 4590?

A 970 Would result in a lot cheaper stuff. That 960 will perform just fine and if wanted you could over clock it.

About $870 without rebates and ect..

The i5-4590 Will bring you down about $17 but this CPU is better by a bit.
