Sounds interesting, and for your first build I would like to see how your plan falls into action.

[CoolBeans]

Get the 760i, 860i is excessive, unless you already ordered.

Get the 760i, 860i is excessive, unless you already ordered.

860 will allow for more overclocking potential and he is getting another 780, more ssd, and more fans. So 860 is GREAT. Even after all taht is still leaves you for headroom for more upgrades, plus you can reuse it later on for bigger builds.

760 is plenty for 780 SLI and have overclocking potential.

I've already though about this. @hamzatu2 is right. Better extra than too little

You paid full price for a intel processor @ a microcenter? Is something wrong? 

[WildTurtle]

Congrats, maybe you wont hate me as much anymore :(

Nice. I've been seeing you jumping and hopping around the forums about this. Great to finally see it going!

[sabot]

Looks cool!

[Gnomercy]

Hey dude, i am getting the same case and mobo, however the adata sx900 256gb is just as fast as the samsung pro counterpart and 35 dollars cheaper.

I got my motherboard for $170 because of a discount I got when buying my CPU

I don't like these kind of posts they make the builder feel bad about there purchases and its too late now.

[onevoicewild]

I agree! no matter what you buy, someone says you should have bought something else. I really love this case. This will be a great build. Lets see what you do with it to differentiate yourself from the herd? Cool Bro

I regret nothing

I ordered my newegg stuff.

Good! I like the the way this build is going! The only reason to post a comment like that is to make someone feel bad about something.
