That is one well balanced rig my friend

An AMD Dragon to be proud of indeed

Really you can't go wrong with the 720BE and the 5770 is surely to pace well along with the 720BE...now get to some overclocking

That's a good setup build. Did you need computer case and other peripherals? I can recommend some if you need.

STAY AWAY FROM COOLERMASTER STORM SCOUT! OMG its a fail. Number 1 the side pannel does not fit on right, it scuffs up against the hard drive bay that sticks out about a half inch too far on the side, also the fans.... FIRE!!!! first 1 i built the fans went up in flames. litteraly. Second 1 2 fans didnt work and third the fan control didnt work. I do not like that case. Also its going to be very very very very hard to hook the power cable into that video card. your going to loose a hard drive bay to do it. Aside from the case its not bad. I know man i saw that case and wanted it also but after 3 of them I will not go near it. if you want something similar with red lighting go with the thermaltake M9. much better option with more space.
