So do I cant believe how easy it was to do. Only had trouble fitting the mothetboard as I had not put the standoffs in tight enough theres still 1 thats being a pain. Can you guys advise if an antec truepower 650 watt is enough for this seems to be working ok

Nearly bought the antec 300 case so glad I didnt prefer the haf but its looking very empty in that case. Thinking of an ssd a very nice touch screen fan controller and possibly another 560 sli

Thanks for the link to that calculator very helpfull.

Regarding an aftermarket cooler can anyone recommend anything I like the look of the sealed watercooled options as I am told they are nice and quiet but id be happy with air if it was able to produce the same results.

This is what the motherboard software is reading at the moment is there any need for extra cooling?
