I like this - only concern is people say i'd need to replace that back fan with a Noctua, which isn't really a problem. Also, I don't really want a case that looks space age - windows and glowing LEDs 'n' shit, so this looks good. Thanks.

You'll hear that everywhere. I think the problem is that sometimes people get a noisy fan and instead of going thru warranty replacement they just go out and replace it themselves with a noctua.

I was thinking of going with the G3 PSU since I made my OP. It's definitely more expensive than I was planning, but people rave about it. It's whisper silent, modular, and has the best warranty on the market.

And although the 1000w is overkill for almost everything, it's the smallest standard 1000w PSU on the market. Others are a few inches longer. Not much of a problem for the 750D, however it would be blocking the first cable management grommet.

Also, I see in the picture that you went with a liquid cooled GFX card? What are your temps at max performance and over how much time? Did you replace the stock fan on the radiator on this?

Haven't had time to do much benchmarking under load yet. Kind of have my sights set on a 4k monitor before i get some of these newer, more demanding games.

So far under idle or small loads, temps have been amazing. my CPU is usually running below room temp (on quiet mode, not even performance mode) and GPU not far off.
