I've finally finished building my new PC and given it some time to try it out. Much of my decision came from feedback here (Revain) and the tomshardware.com forums.-NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case, Black 921RB-001-BL-Intel Core i5-3570K-Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit -EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked with ACX cooler (02G-P4-2765-KR) - Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B) - Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 (GA-Z77X-UD3H) - OCZ Technology Fatal1ty 750W (OCZ -FTY750W) - Intel RTS2011LC Liquid-Cooling Kit-Samsung 840 SSD 500GB (MZ-7TD500BW)-D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter(rev.B) Booting takes less than 10 seconds from pressing the power button to logging in. At 1920x1200 with most settings on high (as recommended by NVidia GeForce Experience), gameplay in Assassin's Creed IV, League of Legends, Rage, Path of Exile, Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, and Heroes of the Storm is smooth and beautiful. All fans are not noisy at all and go unnoticed with a box under my desk. The lights look amazing off the fans, PSU and Intel CPU cooler. There are 3 thermometers on the case, which are labeled CPU, HDD and SYS. They make for a nice LED display on the front, but fitting it into the case is a bit tricky. I use HWMonitor to monitor the temperature and so far nothing has gone above 55 degrees Celsius. Gigabyte has proprietary software with their motherboard. I've tried using the EasyTune automatic overclocking utility, but I've had no luck. This kept the CPU at the original clock speed of 3.4GHz as there is currently no need to increase it. In the future I might try to overclock manually in the BIOS. The BIOS is very easy to navigate and offers many configuration options and customizable options. Overall the system works flawlessly and is everything I wanted with the ability to easily upgrade in the future. Hope this helps if anyone is shopping and researching.
