Will do! Mine probably won't be anything special hardware wise (I have some parts already laying around), but I may look at doing something over the top with one. Just gotta save that cash!

Same idea here. I have my main rig for gaming and I just don't wanna see those other hardwares laying around. If I could save a little, I might as well upgrade other parts for this build or maybe go with a custom water cooling and sleeve the PSU cables. We'll see.

I saw Jacob's post on EVGA forum and he mentioned that. I am not rushing the build and this might take a while due to work and school.

Unless you plan ahead then you're fine.
smile.gif
This is going be a simple modification. Nothing to worry about rushing stuffs. And not that I will rush everything, rather I'll put time for this build. I don't want to leave this build unfinished like what I did on Project Noisy Lanboy. haha..
