You'll get the same advice from others too I'm sure.

Look at this thread for a very similar build.
http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.p...light=M4A785TD

Switch the PSU for a Corsair 650TX (if for no other reason, 5 year warranty vs 1 year) or an Antec.
WD Caviar Black hard drives have proven to be the most reliable.

Motherboard - ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO

Thank you for the advice. I have already built the computer and I am satisfied with the results so far.

If you're not planning on overclocking your GPU, I'd just go with the regular 5770

With all the other fans you have in there, cooling shouldn't be an issue.

This is the only pic I have right now, its at night off of my iPhone so obviously not the best. I'll be sure to try and remember to post more when I get some taken.

It's customary to post your wishlist here BEFORE ordering the parts.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend. I just wanted to share the work I did because I am proud of it. Sorry.

You didn't offend US, it's YOU who may be offended - people are going to suggest changes. This is primarily an advice forum!
