If you mean the USB 3.0 and the E SATA I didn't change anything they came pre installed, I have the model called "Phantom" not the other spin offs or anything.

That's a nice setup, almost damn near identical to what I just purchased. To a degree, here's my run down. I'm still adding more to it though; second graphics card, dual monitors, 8GB more of RAM, SSD, 1TB+ internal HDD, and a few fans here and there. I may also buy a liquid cooler and give it a try.

Antec Eleven hundred (Case
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz Eight core processor
EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Super clocked (2GB)
Corsair Vengeance (2 x 4GB) 8GB RAM
500GB WD HDD 720RPM (Temp HDD)
1TB External Seagate HDD
Cool Master Hyper 212 aftermarket heat sink w/ fan (120 mm)
Cool Master GX 750W Power supply
Logitech G510 Gaming keyboard
Madcatz R.A.T. 3 Gaming mouse

I hate and processors with a passion. Just a lot of bad experiences with them burning out on me within a year so I switched to intel and love them though they are a little more in cash.

If what you're doing plays to the strengths of current AMD CPUs, they offer killer performance for what you pay and overclock extremely well. As far as reliability goes, you'll only kill your hardware if you do something wrong like overclock on a motherboard with a shoddy VRM without cooling. It's worth noting that similarly-priced Intel CPUs have locked multipliers!

I guess that makes sense as I tried to game on 'em a while ago. Maybe I'll do an AMD build once I get the cash.
