Hello I posted a build that I wanted to know if its good like last week and before I ordered the parts from NCIX. why I am buying from NCIX you might ask. its because none of the parts that I want are nowhere near me, now back to subject before I ordered the parts I thought about how I am gonna build it and if I can squeeze a better one in it so I did think and I needed opinions of it so lets begin with new specs instead of my last one. So my processor will be AMD's FX-8350 and for the motherboard is going to be Gigabyte's 990FXA-UD3 ATX for RAM I gone with 16GB of Mushkin Blackline Frostbyte 1600Mhz and for my Graphics Card I gone with 2x EVGA 660ti Signature2 2gb card for the case I gone with CoolerMaster Haf X E-ATX for the PSU I chose Corsair's CX750 and for the CPU's cooling I wanted an aftermarket cooler because I wanna gonna OC so I was wondering if I can use 1 of my 200mm fans on the top of my case for exhaust and the other one for intake and I can use the back 120mm fan for an Antec Kuhler 920 so I wanna know about that. I will put all the fans Bitfenix Spectre Red LED fans so 2 200mm at the top 1 200mm on the side then 2 120mm in the Antec Kuhler 920 if I am abled to put it. and I am putting Bitfenix Alchemy Red LED strips and an ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 as a sound card

Ok so main questions

1. Is my 750w PSU powerful enough to drive those parts

2. Can I use 1 of my 200mm fans on the top of my HAF X to be exhaust because I need the back 120mm Red LED fan to run a push pull configuration with an Antec Kuhler 920

3. Does my build have bottlenecks

4. Is there a better build for my budget of 3,000 Canadian Dollars

The only thing different I would do that build if you had extra money to spend is get more SSD space, and another set of memory.
