New Rig

Hey Guys,

First time buyer. I've heard a lot of good things about Digital Storm so I decided to give them a shot.

I've already pulled the trigger on my rig, and I just wanted to get some feedback. I'm thinking maybe I should have switched the cooling system since I've heard you have to pop the top off the Corsair 550D in order for the fan to operate correctly. Aside from that I'm just looking to get some general advice/feedback on my purchase.

The rig is listed below, my main purpose for the machine is gaming/streaming. I'm also wondering if I will be able to run all of the new games at a high lvl.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback bprat22!

I can't wait for it to get here, and I definitely hit them up about the t-shirt.

The wait for it to arrive is almost worse than paying for it.    Well, not quite but we would love to see a review and pics when you get it.   

Hey jzila, congrats on the new rig and welcome!
The 550D is a really nice case. It's what I was originally going to use until my build got outta control!
danjw1 brings some valid points to the build and worth considering if you haven't already gone above your budget.
And as usual, don't forget to come back when you get your beast and share some pics and a review!
