I've put up a few of these threads but I think this is the final, final build draft! I changed the case from a Spec-03 to the 450D (good choice or no?) which also allowed me to add the H100i to the build. Looking to OC to 4.0+ and run SLI in the future. Final thoughts or opinions?
 

Thanks! This site's community helped me a lot with it, and the 840 evo's price point was what got me. and the price of getting an 850 for a barely noticeable benefit didn't justify dropping the extra cash.

 

Yep the 840 has pretty good price right now. Good luck with your build!
 


Very nice build! The one thing I was wondering is why you are spending extra on the cooler when the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is cheap and works well. Also, unless you wanted that size monitor for a reason, there is cheaper ones with 1 ms instead of 5 ms. Besides that, I very much like this build.
 


Possibly he is looking to overclock + reduce noise.

 
are you sure 750W is enough for an overclocked SLI build?
Maybe somebody did the math for you but i would always get some reserves ( 850W would be my choice ).

Small thing maybe, but i think the Crucial MX100 series offers cheaper SSD for the same result.
With that money you might get a bigger PSU 🙂

On a sidenote, the H100i is loud i heard, if that doesnt botter you then by all means.
