So I should be fine going back and forth?

The description says "NTFS driver for Mac pre-loaded on drive" and correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was windows that used NTFS.

The Seagate Backup Plus Slim, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178433&cm_re=backup_plus_slim-_-22-178-435-_-Product says it is compatible with both OS X and Windows. Would I be able to use it back and fourth without it reformatting itself every time I switch computers?

Joseph DeGarmo is right, and I think that I and everyone on this website highly recommends building and not buying it. :)

I don't think the type of fan matters because I'm pretty sure that the controllers limit the amount of power going to the fan to change the speed. As for using the Corsair Link with any fan I'm not sure of, but if you are using a normal controller like the two I put links to, it doesn't matter...

Thank you, I don't plan on crossfire or sli now, just an option for the future. I think I am going to go with the EVGA 760.

All the above questions need to be answered to help you, bit if it's a Mid-ATX I would go with the Cooler Master Elite 430.

Ok, I guess I can pay the extra few bucks for the PRO, any advice on the GPU?

If you are comfortable with liquid cooling, than go for it, otherwise, that cooler should work just fine. The SSD will work fine, but consider the Crucial MX100 258GB, it's on;y $20 more with twice the space and works just as well. (Don't go for the Crucial MX100 128GB version, the write speeds...

Thanks, I was originally going to go with the M5A97 but people said the Gigabyte was better. I think I am now going to go with the M5A99X Evo (I don't mind the old bios, but the M5A99X supports crossfire and sli, in a dual x8 config). With that said, around $230, is the EVGA GTX 760 a good card...

Should I change my motherboard to a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4672#ov so that I get crossfire and SLI support?

I noticed the note and read somewhere that it should boot up, just needs to be upgraded for the full potential of the 8350.

The mobo is a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P.

I had previously selected an EVGA gtx 760, but am second guessing myself. I am going to be using an FX8350 with a mobo that doesn't support SLI, only crossfire. Should I get an AMD graphics card instead looking into the future. If so, what one would you suggest under $230. I was looking at...
