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 see where you are coming from and i like what your telling me. I love the review. I personally am going to go with the 820 and the nice thing is it will be able to use the H110 140mm fans.
I was looking at the thermaltake level 10 GT but i would have to go with the h100i which is not a big deal.
this is the other case i have been looking at as well

If you know of a case that will allow me to set up a push pull...
After about a week of contemplating all the parts this is the final build to order.

Thank you for answering all of my nit picky questions and concerns. I have been trying to make this build work in and out and learning all the small stuff has been fun. Another reason i love this forum. Just gotta be a bit on it when i plan on spending a good 3k on everything here in a few days...
Thank you for this clarification and your awesome feedback. I cant wait to get this thing in and all set up.
My only other question would be... Would i have any problems running 4x4GB RIPJAWS Z 2133Mhz CL9's with the XML config on the ram.Since for the price i was going to pay for similar ram i...
One more thing that comes to mind is the way i would set up the raid array on the Sabertooth x79 mobo. With 2 of the sata III connectors as the SSD Cache name would i put my 2 WD SATA III Blacks in the intel sata III ports and set them in raid 0 while i keep my main os and program SSD on the...
Thank you for your feedback and advice. I am going to keep the build but change out the CPU back to a 4820k and go with the ASUS Sabertooth x79 Mobo. The only thing i need to look up is going to be the best 4x4GB ram set to get for this. Yes i understand it goes to 64 Gb but i will never need...
Something else that has come to my attention is that with this socket for some reason i can only find one Mobo that will support 2x(x16) PCi-e 3.0. so i am a little confused. If i decide to go and buy another GTX 780 TI CLASSIFIED at a later date i will only be able to run 2x8 PCi-e 3.0. now...
Okay i am building a 4770k and plan on buying a GTX 780 TI CLASSIFIED. For the moment and probably for the next few years i will not have to worry about another gpu or SLI. My main question is this Mobo supports 2-3 way SLI BUT.... it is either a single GPU at x16 PCi-e 3.0 or duel x8 PCi.e 3.0...
I have taken into considerations from a few great minds including you folks and have come up with this as my more or less final build.
Nanoxia DS6 Case (Quiet and fits everything.)
I7-4770K (Dont need LGA2011 or its 6 cores.)
ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA Z87 (Feature packed and best...
