Hello all,
First off, any comments and suggestions are welcomed! Here is my final build.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gPdqP6
Now just to note, I already have the Mobo, CPU, and the Ram. They came as a package deal. I have a couple of questions hopefully some of you can answer. I will be running full air and no overclocking at the moment. I know some of these parts mobo, cpu ect are overkill for non overclocking systems but I like to leave myself options and to do that later. Here are a few questions I have.
1: Is the Thermaltake V71 a good case (air cooling, dust filters) or should I go with HAF X, CM Stormtrooper/striker?---want a full tower case.
2: Any issues fitting the Noctura NH-U14S with the ram?
3: As far as the 780gtx goes is the Gigabyte a good brand for the 780? Is the ASUS or EVGA better. Example: I have been looking at the Gigabyte rev2.0 and ghz as well as the EVGA FTW, the ASUS Poseidon and DC2OC.--looking for stock speed/cooling/lack of problems
I have been searching builds and reviews for quite sometime and really need to order the rest so I can build before 30day warranty expires. Please feel free to comment and offer suggestions. Thank you so much for the help.
 
The case is good. If OC CPU i would go with a liquid cooler (Corsair h60). GPU from gigabyte is also good. The psu from xfx is great but can u look for xxx series or black series from xfx. Everything els is exelent.
 
CM 212, from what I read that performs just as well so that is a good option. I didn't think about the brown. Thanks AMD. Yes, if I go liquid later on I will have to think about different cooling options. Thanks Mr. Dominik. What about the cases any one of them will do? Or is one better than the other? The GPU's give me a headache, not sure which one is the better option. Anyone have suggestions on those?
 
AMD, that looks like a good choice. Is that a reference or non-reference card? I cant remember which OC series I read to stay away from since its basically a over clocked chip not on a custom board.
