Decent but the 4GB is useless with the bus. I see you voting your own post :P

I think that you should get a larger capacity SSD, different fans or at least SP fans and that you can't do anything other than FSB overclocking. Still a good build though

 

EDIT: @Bluejay0 I didn't even think that was still possible. You can't rate your profile anymore. Also, excellent point. Didn't even look at the VRAM

I've tried it. Posts work but not profiles.

VRAM. The RAM that is one the GPU. That card can't properly utilise all of it. So paying that little extra for the 4GB model is not a smart move

I don't see a good reason to have that cheapo PSU, get a higher quality with lower wattage :)

 

I saw your response but then got sidetracked and couldn't understand your avatar. I'm... well I don't know. Could you enlighten me as to what it is? 

Case = Bitfenix Prodigy, Motherboard = P8Z77 - I Deluxe, CPU = 3570k @ 4.2GHz, RAM = 2x 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws, GPU = Sapphire 7950 Boost Edition, Storage = 256GB Samsung 840 Pro.

Makes me wonder why Nvidia makes 4GB 256-bit cards.

CoolerMaster CM 690 II Basic | Intel i7-2600 | CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ | 2x Zotac GTX 1070 AMP! Edition

Asus P8Z77-V LK | 2 x 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 | SeaSonic M12ii 850W 80+ Bronze | Crucial M4 128GB

The cx series is considered low end and cheaper. They are far from bad though.
