Looks good. I hope you are able to get your RAM situation taken care of. What was the total price?

I payed $70 for the RAM because it was open box. Retail the exact same RAM is around $90.

I have already tried that, and I got the same result.

The total price had to have been no more than $900. I would have to go through receipts to find the exact price.

Thanks. Once I get my RAM ordeal over, I'll probably start looking for some fans. For the time being I'm using a fan from my old case, and one from the Cougar case I'm currently using.

I'd say your gpu is your next bottleneck, a 1070 is still great for 1080p 60 fps now, and if you're happy with that that's absolutely fine. Luckily videocards (relatively) easy to upgrade too.

You're correct. And I'm fine with 1080p 60 FPS because I never really invest in better monitors or multiple monitors.
Hopefully GTX 1080 prices continue to drop. That would probably be a viable upgrade some time next year or around the end of this year.

@Drako, did you end up attending to your Ram Issue?

I'll test it some time today or tomorrow. I need to figure out my power supply situation so I don't have to disassemble my build just to test something that might not even work.

I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're asking how much I payed for the RAM, I payed $70 for the G.Skill, and around $50 for the Corsair.
