That is a really nice case you got, and was the one I was going to get if I ordered online. I ended up with a cheap DIYPC case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811353025) at the local store. I mean the one I got is still quiet and keeps things cool and hasn't really been an issue though.

Gold and modular power supply is a nice choice. That's another area I had to make small sacrifices in at the local shop. It wasn't too bad though using a non-modular power supply since I used almost all of the wires from it and bought a package of zip ties.

I see you went with the i7 haswell. Great choice imo. Future proofing yourself will pay off. This thing is a freaking beast. I used the stock cooler for a few days until my cooler master arrived and it was not too bad. Wouldn't overclock with it though. Super simple to overclock with the Intel XTU program, don't gotta fiddle with bios settings and can download profiles other people have made who have the same system as you. So good.

Yeah our rigs are nearly identical, you've got me outted on GPU horsepower and I've got a big SSD I can load my favorite games on. It's mostly preference and aesthetics between our rigs.
