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.
I don't see the PSU on there two times? I saw that the case is OOS, but I was posting this mostly for a check of quality. I plan on buying this rig within the next couple weeks.
I may be able to overclock, but it will depend on how friendly the BIOS is...hah
All great suggestions! I may wait until the beginning of the new year to purchase, however, so I may bump this thread right around the time I'm ready to buy. But I may buy earlier!
As far as Windows 10 goes, I don't mind spending a little extra as long as it's a legit copy! I've had nightmares...
Thank you all for your feedback. That's really good to know!
Another question: I have Windows 7, 64 bit. Will I get optimal performance out of that OS or should I upgrade to Windows 10?
Wonderful, that's good to hear. And, what about perhaps upgrading the RAM speed a bit? I know my mobo supports DDR4-3466, but we have 3000 on there. Is it worth it to take a better RAM?
One thing I was thinking: I'd be willing to go down some memory on the SSD for a bit more RAM. Would that be a smart move? For example, cut the SSD to 500G and double RAM.
Thanks for the feedback on the PSU :) It's good to know!
Donald, thanks for all your hard work. I think it's starting to look really good so far. I'm going to take some time to review and I will be back!

That's the one I have. But, I'd be willing to upgrade! I'd just have to modify the rest of the components to stay around budget.
