No, lol xD A SSD on SATA like the Kingston you have in the build you sent me

OH SHIT didn't notice the M.2, yea your not going to notice it. I've looked into it too, just dont think it's worth the small performance gain to price point. Great idea for a mini ITX build though, it a great space saver with the added bonus a a little better performance.

I changed up the RAM, thought the snow camo would go good with the build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CDCsyc 

 

I was wondering about the HUE system though... I want to search around and see if I can find some LED's that are a bit cheaper. I heard Bitfenix's Alchemys are really good.

Ok... here she is. I calculated it on eBay pricing. So the total w/ tax is 1,513.29 (All eBay items were new) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/b3Z4K8 

Looks good... Still think I'd go with the hybrid version of the GPU. I know it's more expensive but it going to run quieter and cooler, and i didn't realize how much of an issue that was until i had my build together. Although the card you picked would be a great runner up if you for sure don't want a hybrid. EVGA makes great stuff... give them a look too, I'm personally really big into reviews for what I buy.

 

That's a sick case BTW, its pretty popular from what I've seen too.

Like the RAM.

I love my X61 cooler, but that Corsair is good too.

I'd run that cooler on the top exhaust spot... If you run into noise problems definitely look into the Dractal Designs Venturi fans. Have two on my radiator and they are crazy quiet. 3- 120mm High Flow Venturi's on the front, 1- 140mm High Flow Venturi on the rear exhaust and it should be very quiet and flow lots of positive pressure air.

Ok. I will think about the Hybrid card. I am really tempted to wait until June for AMD's FinFET Polaris cards though. They are promising some very good value cards that start around $350.00. I think it is worth the wait, especially for DX12, which is supposed to run better on AMD cards.
