So I lowered my DRAM to 8gbs since I figured I'll probably never use more than 6gbs. As for the ODD, it's only a $30+ for a Blu-ray writer which I don't mind spending. Lowered HDD from 4tb to 2tb and added some case fans. Now I'm stumped as to which motherboard would be better in terms of performance in OC. I've decided not to get an MSI so I am stuck between the Asus Hero and the Gigabyte UD4H. Or maybe I should just stay with the Asus Pro which has WIFI + Bluetooth. Still need to look into a monitor with 1440p IPS 27+'' that won't cost more than $400.
