Hi there!

Nice build, you have picked some damn decent parts!
The only thing I would look at (if you wanted to stretch another $20) is going for a modular PSU.
It will make your rig look a lot cleaner so you can better show off that GPU of yours :D

It's a good suggestion but i don't think it'll improve the performance of the GPU

Oh I wasn't meaning performance enhancement, it's just a nice looking card, I was thinking more about internal case aesthetics :)
