Yeah, the xfx one had like 200 reviews complaining of overheating & case damage from it lol.

Oh yeah, plus. All these parts will work together, right?

Yes, don't forget the RAM though.
Also, XFX has a lifetime warranty on their GPUs, so those reviews are unjustified. I always buy XFX GPUs, but in this case the Gigabyte is better.

I forgot the ram and ordered the stuff without it.

I can build it and wait another 8-10 days for the ram to arrive.

You should know that you can't really boot it without the RAM. Like, seriously, it won't even boot up probably.

Here we go!
Good luck though.

Yeah, that's why I need to buy ram.

Also I want to go for the 4 gb of ram instead of the 8gb, it's 30 extra dollars I don't really want ti pay. Will it make a difference in performace?

depends on if you want to run multiple stuff at the same time.

I usually have Steam, IE, and fraps up so I don't think that will be much of a problem.

I suggest going for the extra RAM if your total budget is over $600. Nowadays it's gonna be well worth spending that tiny bit extra.
Also, you should've gone off my post when ordering, it has everything there you need, now you can't use your computer till RAM arrives :/
