my only doubts are the cooling and the case. I'm going to hold off on the overclocking for now,just want to get a stable build for my recording.Any last minute approval or suggestions would be great.
thanks for all the help!

instead of the Frio I'm gonna get the CORSAIR H80 (CWCH80) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, for if I do decide to do some over clocking. I'm ordering it later tonight,any last minute advice?

thanks,
Grant
 
why use two ssds? i think it would be better if you had one ssd as the boot drive and the second drive (mechanical) for storage.
 
I'm planning in using the ssd's for my sample libraries and putting the os on a regular drive,it's what most of the guys do using the sample libraries I'm gonna use(East West Hollywood Strings etc..)
other than that does it look cool? got my finger on the purchase trigger.
thnx
