I'm using my current SSD drives and my one 3TB drive that I already have. 8gb of the ram came free with the motherboard and the PSU/CPU netted me another 30$ off as a combo deal. Parts will be in this coming week which gives me plenty of time to build and tweak it so that it's ready for the LAN

ATI, meh. Otherwise, more power to you. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

I was going to go with an nvidia card, but, the more I read, the more I found that Eyefinity from ATI is better for multi monitor gaming (I do 5760x1080 across three 24in monitors). That and this thing can be overclocked to 670 speeds with very little effort if I need to.

That 7950 is a beast. With a little tweaking, you can milk quite a bit more power out of it. Check this out.
Alright it's built, i'll be bringing it to the LAN this weekend. The downside is that I will have to return the H80i, it's got a faulty LED in the cooler I can get blues and reds but not greens. The upside is, i'm going to return it for the H100i. Since the case I have is built for a 240mm rad at the top it will fit way better with less cramping. The H80i is a great cooler though. It's kept my i5 under 50c at full load.

Sorry to hear about the H80i. Nice upgrade though! Cant wait to check it out at the LAN.

I can take some when I get home. I will be doing a lot more cable management when i get the new sleeved cables for the PSU and the 5.25-3.5 drive bay converter as well. I'm really digging this case, even if it's a beast.
