	Whats your budget? if your budget is around your biuld then there is some changes you should do. 1.)Change the psu to corsair for quality 2.change HDD's to 1tb each cause after 1tb they have a higher rate of failing 3 keep the blu ray if you want but if not dont waste the money on it 4for cooling the asetek is just liquid cooling just cause they use liquid, its not a real LCS and so the numbers are far off from the real ones and any of the 2 noctua coolers that DS provides will beat the asetek 4 Zalman fans do help, but not a lot and at a cost, most people think of them as very loud and annoying, i wouldnt do the upgrade if i were to pick 5 You dont need teh OC on your gpu since the 480 runs pretty hot already and its a mild oc so it wouldnt increase your performance that much but if you really want that then its better than getting the superclocked 480 6.I suggest not getting the OS tweak either because if you need a service re enabled you would have to go through DS to re enable them and it doesnt make much of a difference in performance since the machine is so fast anyways 7.I suggest getting the memory fan kit since it would help and it isnt that much money Thats bout it, you should save a few bux from all that and if you want to you can get a better case but if you like that case, it isnt bad either. I personally love the looks and specs of the raven's and also the FT02(assassin), Im not a HAF guy so yea.
