Everything seems fine except for the PSU, you're getting two cards, so you'll need a PSU with 4 PCI-E power connectors [editline]10:22PM[/editline] different brand, same quality, bit more pricey [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006[/url]

OCZ and corsair are different brands. More importantly, why did u get the megahalems, which already comes with 1156 support, and a xigatek bracket, while you got no fans?
Oops, my mistake I wouldn't use adapters for the sake of keeping with manufacture standards, I'd rather get somthing that would pump the power I need on all 4 rather than just 2 and use up 4 molexes to adapters that I would need for other things.

i dont see why you would need an anti static band and a mat, just use the mobo bag
[QUOTE=rampageturke;20044411]i dont see why you would need an anti static band and a mat, just use the mobo bag[/QUOTE] Or if you really need one don't bother paying a few dollars for one; just get some tinfoil, make a ring around your wrist with it and a length of twisted foil coming off it, and tape it to the case.

My bad; I didn't check, I uploaded some images instead; hopefully, that will be fine, and will allow you guys to critic my choices. As i said previously, if there is anyway to improve my current choices, or anything doesn't fit/ is wrong for the specific area, I would be much obliged of your help. Thank you guys.

You could use an ethernet cable ?
[QUOTE=ferrus;20051551]You could use an ethernet cable ?[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, no. I room downstairs, and the router is upstairs, and really cannot be moved. SO, if anyone has a great wireless card, or USB wireless antenna, I'll love the help. Thanks.
