Final Build Check before order!

[Chuck_Notch]

Hey guys,
Just wanted to ask about a final compatibility check before I order this machine! I hope I haven't made any errors. I already have the other required parts eg PSU HDD ect.
Thanks to all the people on here that have got the build to where it is now, This build is for 3D Rendering, editing and gaming.

I'd say if you can save a little get a less expensive board. You won't really get much more out of the hero board unless you intend to overclock. Or if you like the color scheme then all the power to you sir Everything looks solid. A little tip with the Fractal R4 Take out both hard drive cages if you aren't going to install a regular HDD. THEN before you mount your motherboard mount the SSD behind the tray you'll open up your case A TON by doing so

With regards to the MOBO, I was going to go with the Gigabyte UDH3, But this one was only ~£20 more. And It has a better UEFI, and you know, it looks cool xD

Also, if I already have a HDD in my current PC (WD 1TB Blue) Can I wipe it/format it and use it in my next machine?

Thanks
Chris

Well if you have one hard drive take out one of the hard drive cages and install the hard drive on the bottom cage. And yes you can use the hard drive in your new computer

Yes the motherboard looks cool, I'd probably go with the MSI GD65 myself but ASUS does have pretty stellar components. Just picked up a ASUS Essence STX for my headphones.

Yeah, When I overclock I've looked into both the MSI and ASUS bios, They are both very nice, I dont think I can mess up if I pick either of them.
