All compatible, but very unbalanced.

1. i7-3770 is overkill for gaming since most games don't use hyper-threading. Stick with an i5-3570K (if you're overclocking or an i5-3350P or i5-3470). This should save you about $!00.

2. The ROG board is expensive. You can do just as well with an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 for $150 less.

3. Rosewill PSU is crap. And you don't need 1000W. Get a 750W PSU from Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, or XFX. The Corsair TX 750W V2 is the best price/performance PSU in that range.

4. Do you really need GTX 670 SLI? If so, then you probably want stronger cooling.

Thanks. Unfortunately I already ordered the i7 but I can still look into the RO and the pcu. I'm getting 2 120mm intake fans, 1 140mm outtake, and 2 230mm fans, one intake and one outtake. Should that be enough cooling?

That's too much. I must've missed it but what case do you have?

Thor v2. I'm adding the optional intake fan on the bottom. know it might be a stupid idea but I'm also adding a window mod and taking out the 230mm intake fan on the side. Should I just leave it be and not add the extra 140mm to replace it?

Just keep it at stock configuration.

Yeah that would seem to be the simplest solution. Thanks for the advice
