Just wondering but any reason you went with the 1080? Because that's hell of a lot of horsepower that's not needed unless you're running a crazy setup + streaming.

I am going to be running multiple instances of FRAPs and other screen capture software 24/7 even when AFK, encoding those videos, streaming, etc...

(Kidding...)

The best bang for your buck is going to be the 1060 6GB which is still extremely futureproof and will run most anything you throw at it for ~1/3rd the price.

Also the 1070 will do everything you want for 200 less.

I actually toned it down to a EVGA GTX 1070 FTW Hybrid since most of what I have read says that the 1080 is not going to give me much of an advantage on anything that I do.

Never spend under $100 on your powersupply. It is the most important piece and likely the only thing that will last through to your next build. I've had too many friends buy fancy parts and then not invest in a powersupply that doesn't kill them all.

I'm actually going with this power supply - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=

Can't beat those power spikes when you turn on a PC.

I've got a pretty solid APC surge protector / battery back-up unit.

I wouldn't put much stock into Newegg's delivery estimate.

My last order was a Super-Egg Saver that came in 3 or 4 days.
The order before that was their express delivery which 9 or 10 days.

It's worth it to just pay the tax and buy from Amazon rather than have to stare at 90% of your parts while you're waiting for something to even leave Newegg's warehouse.

Sounds like someone didn't order rush processing. For the $4 it costs, I have never ever had a newegg order not leave the warehouse within 24 hours (And I've placed over 20 orders with them).

I get it included because I have Newegg Premier.

Anyways, I also ordered my build last night.

I thought this too, but didn't know well enough to suggest otherwise.

Why did you go with the H115 over the NZXT Kraken x62?

Honestly never heard of Kraken. Corsair has more reviews, more feedback, more people that have used it on chips from the same company that binned and delidded, and I used a H100 myself on my current pc and was happy.

Good catch. Not sure how I missed that. It's the small things I guess.

No big deal though. I ordered the 140's and I'll send back two of the 120's when they get here.

Thanks!

Everything left the Distribution centers this morning and are marked as "In-transit" with departure times. So far, so good. The processor will be the thing that takes the longest.

If you are in the market for a new monitor there is a good sale on Best Buy currently:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-xf2...?skuId=5622408

That monitor is normally $600 and you're getting it for $375 after Visa checkout for an Acer 1440p 144hz IPS w/Freesync. Not bad.
