Looks solid man, the only thing i don't particularly like is the case, but that all comes down to personal preference

The case has mediocre performance and for the price, it's inexcusable. I'd suggest cancelling the order and changing at least the case and power supply. 750w is too much for a single 7970 but pushing it for two overclocked. I'd change the motherboard as well because you can spend a lot less and still get the same performance because your CPU and cooling will reach their limits before the motherboard starts to limit your overclock.

Thanks for your input, the case does what it supposed to do. Filters, amazing cable management, plenty of room for upgrades. The power supply was free, I'm not complaining, and it will do just fine. Motherboard wasn't my choice but it's a good mobo. I don't overclock, it's pointless for my use.

...You don't overclock? Return the cooler, motherboard, and CPU so you can save money by getting parts that aren't built for overclocking! You can save a ton of money if you won't be overclocking.

The 650D is a nice case, but it's not a good performer. The Fractal R4 or Arc Midi 2 would be much better choices for less.

Thanks for your opinion, if I want to overclock in the future I want the ability to be able to, and not have to buy the parts later. Money is no issue for me. Ill take a look at other cases as I haven't ordered that yet, that's my final piece.
