Updated build, I think it's pretty close to finished except I'm still wondering about the PSU and if it's decent.

If you're referring to me, I don't. It was suggested to me. I really have no idea if a fan or liquid coolers are better than the other. This is my first build and I have heard arguments for both sides.

Doesn't look like I can update my post but here's my current build, it has changed some

Don't know if I should go with those two gigabytes or two XFX 7870ghz or does it matter? I do like the gigabyte

All right I'll consider that thanks, what about keyboards? I've had my eye on the Corsair Vengeance k90 but recently I'm stuck between that and the Logitech G19. I would prefer mechanical.
