Looks good though a 750D is kinda overkill.  A 650D is probably a better sized case for that build seeing as though you're not going E-atx or having an SLI setup or need a ton of drive space.  I personally prefer computers that don't have a ton of empty space inside the case.

I just went with corsair 750D because it looks really good and has an awesome airflow.

Airflow on the 750D is not that great, because the front panel blocks LOTS of air (speaking of own experience).

The 750D Airflow Edition would be a better choice.

Please quote me in any answers to my posts, so that I can read them easily and don´t forget about them. Thanks!

 

I love spending my time with PC tinkering, networking and server-stuff.

I just made sure that my build had reliable brands and well known components, I could've picked the cheapest RAM and an explosive power supply, however this build is reliability at it's finest.

P.s. I hate G.Skill and this build is a black and red theme.

One little change imo: 850W PSU for what? The build could run on a 450W PSU, and you can SLI 1080s on a 650W PSU.

From experience, an 850w was extremely overkill.

Dexters build uses very reliable brands. Even though some are cheap, they are.good.

For example, the Crucial drive is within margin of the 850 Evo and much cheaper. GSkill RAM is very good, the S340 is a great case, the CPU cooler is amazing.

I mean, would you rather have Crucial SSD or Samsung SSD? Gskill or Corsair? NZXT or Corsair? Corsair or bequiet! ? Yep, reliable and well known brands sometimes are better to give a shot.

I'm getting the Crucial SSD he suggested because I can get the 525GB one for $100. I've got corsair RAM, only because it was the cheapest 8GB kit at the time, would of gone with any black or white RAM as brand for RAM doesn't matter other then customer support. I prefer NZXT and Phanteks cases, imo they are much better when it comes to design. BeQuiet! Has great customer support and products, only downside being is they're a German based company so RMAs take about 10-14 days but that isn't their fault.

Corsair products aren't "all that". They are good but other companies have superior products and very similar support ECT, like NZXT, EVGA, Phanteks, BeQuiet!, Noctua, Deep cool, Ducky, Steelseries and plenty of other companies.
