Any problems with this? Also, a note, even though I chose Dark Rock 2, I also chose Mushkin Stealth RAM because of the reduced height clearance for RAM. That's why I don't have something like Corsair Vengeance or G.Skill Ripjaws.

you bought a 670 when the 770 was recently released
you serious
I'll probably upgrade to the 770 later this year and give my video card to a friend.

me!?!??!?1//1/1

Also, the OP structures the budgets weird. Prices change all the time, so each build should be a price range instead of a fixed price. For example, the PC build I listed a few posts ago has a range from $1400-1600, but you dont see me listing it as $1500.


Ewww, why would you do that? What benefit is there to getting that as compared to any modern mechanical keyboard?
I already have a decent mechanical keyboard. The IBM is built like a tank so I thought it would be fun to try and restore it. Also the sound that they make is absolutely majestic. And it's only $40. :D
