PCPP seems to have given me the greenlight, just wondering if you guys had any last minute sagely advice on this build?
My intention was to somewhat future proof it - the PSU has plenty more juice to offer, I can add another 8G stick of RAM, and maybe a second 970 (unless the new gen of cards offer massive price to performance boosts.)
But have I fucked up anywhere? (Most likely I have)
Thank you!
