Guys, sorry it took so long. I had to travel for work the past couple weeks and needless to say the PC build was put on hold. Regardless, I've finally put it all together and with the exception of some tweaking, I have it working and ready to go. A couple of notes: This was the first modern PC...

UPDATE: I've finally ordered everything and it should be here by Tuesday (6/23/15). I wanted to thank everyone who helped on this thread so much, it really made a difference. I took everyone's advice into consideration and here is exactly what I have ordered as a result (Changes from original...
