As I mentioned earlier this will be the third DS comp for the family. First was for Mom back in Dec of 09'. This will be a replacement for her. Her old one will be passed down to one of the grandkids as it still runs great. Mom just wants something new!

Any advice would be great. It has been a while since I seriously looked at new comps. But already know it will be a DS or not at all.
Thanks for the replies in advance.

Sweet! A Gaming MOM!! That rocks!!

The only things I would recommend changing is the the GPU to the GTX 770 (either the 2GB or 4GB). It outperforms on most games over the 7970. Also, with the single GPU, you could use just a 750W PSU - the EVGA is a great choice as it's 100% modular so if it needs replacement, no rewiring required. Otherwise looks like a solid build. And don't forget your FREE t-shirt (or would it be hers?)!

Excellant build with quality parts.   

The ODE 600t case with Noctua D14 cooler means well built and reliable.

It doesn't need the upgraded fans or fan control, but if its for looks and something to tweek then go for it.   

I also would go with gtx 770 and the EVGA 750 SuperNova psu for a single card but this setup works for sure.

Good luck.
