You can edit the parts list from PCPartpicker, but here is mine with the Define S. The R5 is way better for cooling, if you wanted, the optical drive cages and the HDD cages are removable.

Like others have said, if you're using 1440p 144Hz, or 4K you need the 1080 vid card

/e ..and here it is with the Maximus VIII Hero

So you guys figure the cm 212 evo will be enough for a mid OC? I noticed both guys who posted builds suggested that.

do you guys feel the extra 250$ for the 1080 over the 1070 is worth the performance increase?

I personally dont think so, as the performance difference in terms of frames is only about 15-20% at most. But the cost difference is 50% which is pretty large. a 1070 is far more than enough at anything at 1080p anyway.

Yeah it will allow for a decent OC. probably around 4.5 ghz give or take.
