Only 2 things I might change is the ram up to 16gb and the motherboard (I don't like gigabit boards but that's just me)
Everything else looks good |

Hi Sting...... Unless you don't like the looks of the Vanquish 230t case, the Vanquish level 4 is almost identical for hundreds less.
Either way, they look good. |

Thank you for your responses, @Gunner what motherboard would you recommend me to pick? Honestly, I don't know which one I should pick. I'm gonna try to change my ram to 16gb as you said. @bprat22 I looked at the Vanquish case and it looks nice so I might pick that one instead of the Apollo. At overall, do you guys think it's a good setup?
Thank you again Edited by Sting - 30 Apr 2015 at 5:16pm |

If the Asus is available go with that. I have always had good luck with Asus product's.
