Looks great! I can't wait to pick up one of these. This plus a WC 970/980/980TI will be the ultimate steam'n'stream box.

All those video card choices and you missed the newest mini card from amd that's the strongest of all.

The cooling for the graphics card seems a bit rough. If I am seeing it correctly, the fan for the GPU will suck in air from the bottom of the case. But then where does it exhaust it? I guess a GPU with a blower would almost be a necessity for effective cooling.

Maybe they want to make sure you buy their liquid cooling option for the GPU.

The R9 Fury Nano, if that's what you're referring to, isn't stronger than the 980Ti.

Unless you're going for a small HTPC-type GPU, then yes you should be liquid cooling a high-wattage gpu like a 970/980/980TI/Fury in this box. This is designed to be a nearly silent, living-room console replacement, and the last thing you'd want is a hair-dryer in there.
