Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Thanks for the suggestions, Danny. Points well taken. I don't need more than 2TB storage, but cheaper for the same performance is always good. I think the WD unit can be a bit loud, too.
I've only heard good things about the psu so I'll probably stick with that, but if you think the Asus...
Would appreciate opinions on a new build I'll be doing (hopefully) in the next few weeks (U.S., Miami, FL).
Machine is used for 3D modeling/animation, video editing/compositing, and miscellaneous tasks. Budget is $2k - $2.5k for the box and everything inside except the video card (GTX580)...
