    Power Supply

    So at first I was going to buy this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

    Then I saw that this was on sale: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-...FHRWV6S09QMNKF

    What do you guys know about that cooler master one? Should I make the switch? It looks good to me but I get this feeling that I'm overlooking something...

    Both are excellent, I'd definitely go for the Silent Pro Gold at that price.
    Don't know how overkill/underkill it will be for your system though.

    Lovin' that build, especially the case! Not many Lian-Li buyers around here but they make amazing cases, that's for sure.
    Go for the Silent Pro Gold 800w, that's a killer deal for a very good PSU.

    At first I was going to get the Antec 902 V3 case because I really liked the way it looked and the blueness but I started to like the features on Lancool even though its not as blue(my favorite color) as the Antec, but that can be fixed with some Cold Cathodes. Also the Antec didn't come with dust filters and my room gets dusty after a while so that was another thing I put into consideration.

    Actually I reckon Lian-Li's fans are bright as hell.

    If so then I might save the money. From photos and videos it didn't seem too bright but they are videos and photos, so it isn't the same. I will have to wait for the CM PSU to arrive before I can check myself.

    Thank you guys for the opinions, I went with the CM PSU. It will arrive on Friday =D.
