About the speeze gel, i was going with arctic silver, but the wait was 'usually ships from 7-21 days', so I was like screw that. Is that a good setup? I'll be posting updates when I receive the parts, and start building, etc. I'm 14, so bare with me on this :).
 
sounds good, just a lot of extras that u may not need though. like cables and the ultra screw thingie

also the power supply, go with a more well known brand to be on the safe side. everything else is leet
 
have fun! I wish I was building another. make the cables nice and neat, and post some pics when you are done!!! :)
