I7 3770k - This thing is just a beast. If you are looking to overclock it's pretty simple and it may get hot however I'm not seeing that that is the case. I'm running at 4.53 and my temps under are no higher than 61 Celsius under full load. Nothing else need be said, get this.
Noctua NH-U12 140mm - The look of this cooler is pretty sweet, to be honest I think I would care but once it turned on and I didn't hear anything.. just amazing. The installation was a little difficult but it is well worth it for the results I'm getting. If I had to buy another fan I'd probably go bigger to the NH-D14 but this one is defiantly the best if you are going for a quiet build.
Asus P8Z77-V Pro - Other than the fact that it looks pretty damn sweet, the BIOS is awesome though if it wasn't for that I'd boot up in 3 seconds. Downsides to this board would be only 2 6gb/s slots but no big deal to me. Overall just a nice board, Don't know why you would buy something else if you got the money to blow.
GSkill Ares 2x8 @1866 stock - The Mobo had them set at 1333 but it was simple to get them back to where they should have been and more. Other than being low profile and shiny, if they are on sale, git'm.
Crucial M4 - It's fast, and it may not be as fast as other ssd's, the fact that you get free firmware updates, come on. Yes it is not the fastest, but at this speed point, start going for reliability. I honestly don't see a point for anything much faster if it's not reliable. I was having some freezes but it was my fault in the first place and I fixed it. I boot up in 3 seconds if that if it weren't for the bios...
Seagate Barracuda 2TB - Haven't done to much with this thing other than throw some backups on it and it keeps up pretty well with the ssd considering it is a HDD.
EVGA GTX 680 Signature 2 - Playing CSS maxed all settings (1920x1080). Fraps won't show the fps over 299 and it stays at 299 and doesn't move. Playing GTA IV maxed settings, 60-80fps never dropping below 55. It runs cool, idle 29-30 and I have yet to even push it to the max and I haven't seen anything above 50 Celsius. I'll update more games FPS once I get them downloaded. The 2 fans on this thing I don't really hear them, maybe it is because it hasn't really been tested yet but I sit right next to my case and I can't hear them.
HAF 932 Blue - I am currently typing this from inside the case. I think I could put a ceiling fan in this thing. Great cable management, easy to install in had zero problems. Stock fans are SILENT and BLUE! This case is as great as you guys say it is, get it everyone especially if you are air cooling.
Corsair 750W Fully Modular - Easy as pie to do cable management with this and it's corsair. You can't go wrong. The fan on it is pretty quiet too though I can't really tell since it is blowing out the bottom of the case.
Any Questions ask away!
