Do you guys have anything to change/add. I am not worried about storage because I have a 500GB HDD already.

Change PSU to Coolermaster V700 and use noiseblokcer fans for the H100i instead of the Gelid ones , other than that pretty perfect build -_-

[CoolBeans]

Oh and I forgot I will be getting some of these cables http://www.dazmode.com/store/product/24-pin_atx_darkside_single_braid_cable_-_allien_skin

Why are you down-scaling from a 6970X?

I chose the Gelid because they come in UV Green, and I don't want a coolermaster PSU because my dad had one die on him.

I would like to have 2 PC's

[helping]

Any particular reason you chose the GELID fans? If that XFX PSU is a Seasonic rebrand, everything else is good.

Nice so your build is going to be UV i assume . If you really don't want to use the coolermaster PSU ( Real shame in my eyes CM makes one of the best PSU's in the world your dad was just extremely unlucky IMO.) Then why not go with Be Quiet Dark Power Pro PSU :http://us.hardware.info/reviews/2911/8/be-quiet-dark-power-pro-10-550w-review-high-end-power-supply-conclusion

Rated Gold @ HWI , just get a bigger wattage than 550W and you're fine

I was considering Be-Quiet but the cables are really ugly, and I would like full modular.

Why the platinums? they are so overpriced, get Vengeance pro, same awesome styling , although it doesn't have the nice silver, it's a better alternative, I would get 16GB with that ridiculous price, put my OS on a ram disk

[_ASSASSIN_]

also, the amount of Gelid's are unnecessary , of course that's up to you, but it adds $100+

I just don't like the Vengeance Pro, and I like having bragging rights if I was going to get 16GB of RAM I would get the Mushkin Blackline

Do you think I would need one on next to the IO ports on the back?

then get that, it looks wonky having $120 for just 8gb of ram ;---;

makes mi crie evretiem

definitely, that would be great if you use an air cooler as an exhaust

Well I am going to use an H100i on the top with 2 of the Gelids on it

[megadarkwood]

What? You are spending $30 a fan? Holy SHIT!

well other than that it looks nice.

for the H100,  I would use GT's it might break the look, but it preforms REALLY well

also, still use it as exauhst

[CoolBeans]

Ok I removed 2 of the fans and I will just use the stock ones on the H100i and put them in pull.
