Thermal Paste tutorial video? So when you put on thermal paste you just put a drop on and you don't spread it out? That goes against just about all the other tutorials.

I think you got the wrong motherboard? The Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H only has 1 LAN

1 x Atheros GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)

To start with, i totally agree with your part selections, i think its an awesome pc build. And im also on the same boat when it comes to sandy vs ivy. And i also agreed with your comment in one of ur previous vids (cant remember which) where you said that if ppl want the pci-e 3, its better to go with the socket 2011s.

But i was just wondering from a budget point of view, wont going ivy be more future proof? what i mean is that wont future grafix cards run on pci-e 3?

Just a question thats been in the back on my mind, and cant seem to find a proper answer to it anywhere.

The only motherboard I found that matches the specs you listed is the GA-Z77X-UD5H. All the GA-Z77X-D3H boards I found only have one LAN port. Not as many PCI-E 3.0 ports or not as many SATA 6GB/s ports.

Is it possible for someone to make a vid of themselves putting this PC together lol I'm sorry this is my first PC i'm building and i'm sure i'm gonna fuck it up some how.

In this selection, wouldn't the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer Mid Tower Computer case be better than the Fractal Design Define R3 Black Pearl ATX Mid Tower Case? I've been told that Cooler Master products are awesome and that they even look fancy.
