    Picked up a Gigabyte GTX 760 today

    And I replaced the fans in my Silverstone Grandia with Cougar Turbine 120mm fans, since NCIX had the 4 pack on sale. These things are pretty damn quite and move a crap load of air. Also, I snagged a Noctua NH-C12P SE14 cooler and everything seems to be working at the moment, just setting up the display drivers for my new card.

    It's seems to be about as good as any. I didn't try to take it above 1333. Got it for $35 at NCIX.

    If you want to know if it is quality enough, run memtest 86+ for one full run.

    Why would that be bad ram? Like AMD designed the pcb of it and the nand memory is coming either from samsung or micron, they just sell them with an AMD logo sticker on it.

    Would be cool if AMD started producing RAM, MOBOs, SSDs and PSUs with quality challenging big brands like Corsair, Cooler Master and Seasonic. Could be an all AMD/radeon computer
    Patch 1.12, and not one step further!

    Let them get up to par with CPUs first so we can have some competition on that market and get Intel off its arse instead of having these little 10% performance gains between families.

    They could take on Corsair and Cooler Master, but SeaSonic? Lol, don't shoot so big yo. =X

    SeaSonic is considered the best in the PSU industry....

    Why did you take a mATX for such a large case ?

    At least it isn't a giant full tower case...

    Much less a super tower.

    It's a $300 gaming build. It's tough to be picky.

    I think H80i's stock fans have a better noise/cfm ratio than Scythe GT's. GT's are very old fans now (still good for big rads / custom loops though) : /
