Re: Build Critique

that GTS is old, get the new 1gb or 512mb g92 GTS, never seen Xions as PSU, so I wouldn't trust it, try this Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail

that case tends to get loud with the one fan in there (its an easy replace [the 120mm])
