Be Right Back, Uninstalling

So after nearly a year of nailing my former employer to the wall with my province's labour laws, he's now furnishing me with the means to retire my very faithful 7 year old rig.

The rig I have in mind has parts/manufactures that have been recommended in other threads. I'm just looking for any perspectives I haven't considered. Vandam already vetted this build, but created a slightly cheaper variant(excluding my peripherals).

I wouldn't bother buying all of those extra fans. The Antec comes with some surprisingly decent (and quiet) fans that you can mount for either push or pull. Put some of that fan money into a bigger SSD.

Look at getting a 670. It may be a tad more, but totes worth it.
Look at 4x4GB ram. Apparently it's better.

Also, see if you can get all of this on MemoryExpress. they'll price match + 25% of the difference, and have $5 shipping!

I'd also suggest looking at Samsung instead of OCZ. The 840 (non-Pro) is cheaper and faster without the stigma of the OCZ name.

You can realistically buy the exact parts you listed and be fine, most of what remains falls to smaller preferences. My build is identical to yours with the only exception of ram and case, and it's been great. But yeah, I bet stock case cooling will serve you fine.

Edit: I'm on my phone, might have missed some things

If you want to get the cooling capabilities of blue LEDs for less money, consider getting case lighting without the fans.

It all looks solid and not much more to add except you will not be disappointed. The case is the same one I have and I love that case as for the other part picks listen to the other recommendations.

Thanks for the input fellas. Parts are bought, and I have a pit of excitement in my gut about the build.

Don't forget to touch something metal before unboxing.

Killing a part with static is the worst
