Specifications:
This will be my third DS system. My main concerns are a full tower,the best motherboard, and ability to upgrade. I really like the Velox but the window is on the wrong side for me. What changes would you make to this build?

Looks like a solid build to me.

One thing to keep in mind is notes 1&2 on motherboard specs. The board rocks but you have to be aware of what slots will be used and which will be lost for certain configurations. I had a friend call me when the M2 slot wouldn't work and this is what I found and had to do an alternate set-up for him.


*1: The PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (PCIEX4_3) shares bandwith with PCIe 2.0 x1 and M.2 slot. The default setting is Auto Mode, which automatically optimizes the system bandwidth. If you install a PCIe 2.0 x4 device, the system will automatically detect and disable PCIe 2.0 x1 and M.2 slot.

*2: The PCIe 2.0 x1 slots (PCIEX1_1/2/3) will be disabled when PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (PCIEX4_3 ) operates under x4 speed or M.2 mode.
