    Only thing I'd change (and I know you said you've already ordered) is the power supply. Rosewill isn't known for quality power supplies. I'd rather go with a company that has a better reputation.

    I cancelled the Rosewill power supply, didn't realize it wasn't modular. It was part of a buy these items together and save type thing. Checking for something better

    I'd recommend Corsair. It's what's been in my last 3 builds.

    The HX series is nice. Most of Corsair's stuff is at least partially modular. The ones that aren't modular are usually the sub-$75 power supplies.

    yea I am a wee bit of a virgo when it comes to cabling so a non fully modular PSU is a no go for me.

    I will take some pics along the way
