  1. Looks like great advice, thanks. I swapped the MB and CPU. Don't want to drive the 200 miles to microcenter, so I guess I will pay the extra $55 or so from newegg. Dropped the Revodrive. I was already on the fence, thanks for the push. Added the Samsung 250GB 840 SSD. Really appreciate the heads up on the sleeved cables deal. Going with the AX 850. I'm going back an forth on the RAM. I know your probably right but it is very likely I will be running a server from this box while playing. 8GB may still be enough but the 16 sounds nice. Any suggestions if I go with 16? I was only going with the 1TB b/c I have a NAS raid 5 set up for all my storage and steaming. Now that I have open slots and an extra $250, I may look at a sound card but that extra SSD is more enticing. Thanks again for all the help.
  2. Hello All About a week away from pulling the trigger on a new build and figured I would put it up on your board to prevent any mistakes. I have built before but not in a long time. I know there may be cheaper options but since it is my first build in probably a decade, I didn't want cost to get in the way too much. I do plan to overclock and the hope is to have a computer that will play any game on high settings for a long while with potential upgrades, SLI, RAM and such. I guess the only things that I am not reasonably solid on are the Revodrive, fan controller and the RAM (not on the Sabertooth compatibility table). For the Revodrive, I have read some issues but I have also spoken with OCZ and they said it has been tested with the Sabertooth. Thank you for any feedback.

  3. vandreadstriker - Any luck with this build? I am days away from buying the HAF XM, H100 and the sabertooth z77. I will pull the top 200mm if I have to but It would be nice to know your outcome.
