Can drop the cooler from the Noctua to a HYper 212 EVO - about $35, can drop the PSU down to a 850 or so which will still cover XFire and while it's on the do not touch list, the HAF X can be replaced by a HAF 932 or even midtower 922/912, and WOULD suggest changing the mobo, won't touch MSI due to their poor QC and going them copying the Black/Red Asus ROG color scheme doesn't make it a gaming mobo, they started this with the Z77, before that the G45s were always blue/black

I have the Noctua for O/C. and watching benchmarks on the r9 toxic the wattage was 449 so that x2 in the future is around 900 so I wanted to be safe and get the 1000w and idc if MSI copied a color scheme I just want my computer color scheme red/black so is there any other Mobo you would suggest( doesnt have to be red/black just not something like neon green) I have heard a lot about MSI being bad so I need an alternative?

In that price range would look at the Asus Z87-Plus or the Gryphon - up a step or so is the Asus Hero

Okay I grabbed the Asus hero and actually picked the Cooler master Stormtrooper-Keeps my color scheme and is cheaper than the haf 932. However this raised me 21 dollars. I take everything off the dont touch list except the GPU. Is there a better cooling system that will support my O/C just fine and I need a cheap reliable PSU someone had me to try to get a seasonic but the 1000w were just too expensive so he had me pick a FSP 1000w and its still pretty expensive. Im at 1687 and want to be as close to 1500 as possible. Thank you for the Help

Not sure what the PSU runs, but might look at the

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256058

The EVO works fine as a cooler up to about 4.4/5 if running 24/7 - next step would be the Noctua or maybe a Phantek

Think the Asus 280X is $310 at the Egg that would be $60 more off (and I like the Asus better, which is why I picked it up )

I actually wish the Toxic wasn't so expensive but I think its one of the most important parts of the build. It is incredible, the benchmarks and reviews I have seen place it right on the heel's of the Geforce Gtx 780 so thats why I chose it but thanks anyway
