whoahoho, 32GB of RAM. what on earth are you planning to use this for? also, why the cheap PSU? I don't think the G1s can actually fit in the case, PCPP's rejecting it.

Hi there

 

I feel that the PSU should be changed for a better one..

and also would you really need 32GB of ram?

Whats wrong with the psu?

Umm, a Z97 mobo is not really needed for a Z87 chip. Honestly just go with a 4790k.

I dunno, maybe PCPP thinks you're going to mount the rad in the front in push/pull or something.
