You can save $400 right off the top by changing to 16gb DS ram, all you need unless your medical IT work can use it, and drop to a 750 watt psu, not the B1 unit.   If you want the option to sli your gtx 1080 ti then keep the psu.

Doubtful you need the side blowhole cutout with a single video card, especially the reference card that blows its heat out the back, unlike the custom multi fan video cards. The Velox has ample airflow.   

Looks good to me.

Thank you! The 32GB is for the medical software along with the second 960 EVO. Are there any advantages to the Hydrolux Lite over the Corsair H115i? SLI would hopefully be in the future for it if I can talk work into the upgrade.

Thanks again.

Got it.

The Corsair Lite, imho, is if you wanted to add the video card to your water cooling loop, otherwise the H115 would be my suggestion.    The Lite, a Swiftech unit, is a better unit, but Corsair AIO is very good.    Or, if you wanted the aesthetics of the Swiftech with colored fluid, transparent reservoir.


Edit... Corsair Lite should be Hydrolux Lite.    It's not a Corsair unit, but Swiftech.
