I have a Blu-Ray burner/reader, but I'm too lazy to find out what kind. This computer was fairly easily to build, except we had to do something special with the Liquid Cooler, as there wasn't enough space. If you plan on having a liquid cooler, and a big ass mobo, NEVER Get a Mid-Size chassis. So yeah, leave some comments on what you think.

High profile RAM is pointless and will only get in the way of coolers. The heatsinks do nothing and kits tend to be more expensive.

The PSU is WAY overkill. 550w would be way more than enough for this system.

You don't need a highish-end board like the G45 because your CPU doesn't overclock.

The H100 is completely pointless because you can't overclock.

If this is a gaming rig, more money should have been spent on the graphics card and not wasted on other parts. You also should have gotten a card with an after-market heatsink to keep temps down, noise low, and overclocks high.

The i7 is pointless over the i5 for the vast majority of people and you should have gotten it unlocked or adjusted the build.

There's no SSD. That's ridiculous.

For the love of all that is good, manage the cables.

This is very screwed up, but it's too late for the most part.

This is pretty brutal, but most of the facts stated are pretty on point, though It looks pretty cool man!
