It's very good, I suppose you do need to have 32GB of memory for your media needs as for gaming anything over 8GB is generally not worth it. No comments on the build, it's very healthy.

Thanks pep.

Can an mod move peps answer to my original post. The system seems to have double posted my thread.

My god! Why do you need 32GB RAM?! You could save a lot of money downgrading it to 16GB or 8GB which is enough for gaming.

Also, about the PSU, you don't really need 850W unless you'll do SLI in the future.

After watching this video on youtube (Just watch about 20s you'll see what I mean) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=haP2aT_kpJo#t=1693 This guy was using almost 30gb when editing his DLSR footage. So I figured I'm doing the same thing, I should get 32gbs as well.

Hmm, maybe but you could save some money getting 16GB. Nevermind, having 32GB won't hurt too, and you'll have them there if you need them!

I know what you mean at first I was like 8gb is more than enough. Then you see video editing with DSLR footage using 30gb, it blows your mind.
