you want the bleeding edge? aside from a SSD you got it, kept your 2 x 295 GTX but I have to be honest, for your resolution its over kill, you only need one.

your build was 5400+ so I thought a little more wont' hurt but remember when you press submit, you get another $200 if the price listed above

My pleasure and you are very welcome.

the HAF has better cooling stock and most HAF users report their temps of the case to be very cool. I also don't like how you have to open the front of the 850 to get to your DVD drivers and etc. but the 850 is a good case also, but I would go with the HAF.

I put the 1200w cause if you have 2 x 295 GTX then I have a feeling next year you will want 3 or maybe new GPUs that have higher PSU needs, so I put the 1200w for future upgrades, but if you think 1000w will cover you for the future then go with that.

nothing about the 295s so far but they just came out, in a week or so I expect some of the people that just got a DS system with a 295 to post some reviews and we will see what they think of the 295.

corsair is great but so is OCZ, no matter what you are under warranty, there has been instances here where I saw a customer have a problem with one brand a few times so the customer asked to be changed to a different brand and DS did it for free, so in short you can't lose either way.
