LEPA 1600w 80 Plus Gold (G1600-MA-EU) isn't 1600w just overdoing it?i suggest save bucks and buy a good 750w or 850w instead ...also i suggest a 1tb 7200rpm sata ...but do you know that you would not be able to unlock the full potential of ram unless you overclock...also to use this ram you have to click on xmp profile to run it at stock motherboard speeds...

I agree with Mr X and i think that you should keep the SSD and have at least a 1 TB HD, But two 2TB HD's Running RAID 0 is probably the best since this build seems like its for some sort of workstation.

I would consider replacing that GPU with something with more power.

Unless he goes 780, its not worth the price premium. Going dual SLI 760 would be a better option for money

1600W is so overkill! You'll need 700W at most for that build.
Are you video rendering or something workstation-esq that requires the big 32GB of mem?
What case is it all going into and what are you cooling the CPU with? 🙂
