changed the components for better reliability/quality or performance. For example this version of the 750w is the one you want, the noctua is much better then the Asetek cooler, 32GB is not going to be used, 16GB is to future proof.

Thank you for having a look at my build and switching some things around for me. Your configuration looks to be the one I will go with. The power supply is something I would have never looked at changing in my build. that's one of the reason I always like to get some other ideas before putting in a order. also I run 16 gb right now and seems to run fine, I wasn't sure if I should be looking to take the step to 32 gb or not.

Take a quick look at your memory usage under task manager, if you are maxing or close to maxing your 16GB when you are at your heaviest multi tasking, then go with 32GB if not 16GB should be more then enough.

For example person in this pic has 4GB of ram and its all pretty much in use, this person needs more ram:

Thank you for the help on the build. it looks like the ones you have put together is the way to go. also after looking at it a little closer on my computer that I have never, I am no where near running short with 16 gb.

Great just make sure you are looking it when you are running multiple apps/programs, otherwise idle will look like you are not using any.

My pleasure and good luck

You have anymore questions let us know

I just want to pack my house with the velox, I love that case, only thing I'm not crazy about is the way they have the hdd/ssd setup but you can't have it all, for air cooled case its great.

I'm liking Aventum more and more for lc

I do happen to like the look of the Velox, and looks like the air flow should be great. The case I have now is a HAF X and is also a very nice case. Oh and a update I have placed my order, now comes the 10-14 day wait.
