Anything you guys think I could have bought to make this system a little more beastly?

I'm planning on buying another 680 next month or two and then following that up with 3 3d monitors for nVidia Surround in 3d!

Looking good, did a fast check..

But hey, its not your wifes gear, but be kind and let her do the carrying..

is the mobo atx?

Not e-atx?, i am not sure..

That case dont support e-atx, checked the spec on your link

[Homiestar]

Yes X Pack is right, unfortunately that case will not fit the motherboard of selection, you will need a full tower case 😞 The board is indeed E-ATX, and case only goes up to ATX

[HiVizMan]

Not sure the ram will fit under the cooler, and check the dimensions of the case v the motherboard.

Other than those two points looking good indeed.

[neoxaero]

I have the board mounted in the case right now and it does fit. Is there anything i should be concerned about if the board mated up with the case mb tray?

[HiVizMan]

If you have the puppy all sorted then great. I have seen tears with the E-ATX boards and some cases in the past.

Only thing is the concern with the hight of the memory heat spreaders. Has been a whole heap of discussion about the clearance.

Looking good. Funny, that is the 'Most Used' name in here .. hehhehee ..
Just point out, its cheaper than a new Corvette, and it's a one seater.c.

[HiVizMan]

And not that many kids get started in the back seat of a PC either. LOL

[neoxaero]

The wife has been pretty supportive of this build (Thankfully)

[Zygomorphic]
