I just started a TS/MoM/AA incinerate scion build. Although low level (26) I'm having a blast. I found Searing Touch staff with +2 to fire gems, +41% spell damage, and +31% fire damage (http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Searing_Touch) and mobs just melt away. Although I'm a bit less tanky, I...
I was goofing around with "Cast on Critical Strike" support. Attached two Ethereal Knives skills to my split arrow skill and had some fun, but in my current uild I don't have any crit chance increase nodes yet. Even still it was neat to see the knives going off on monsters at the edge of my...
I can't hear my fans running unless I squat down under my desk. Noise isn't an issue. Don't try to out-mathimatize me on this one. I know the 80s aren't equivalent in CFM, but I don't need more.
I don't plan on overlocking this much if at all so I feel like 4-80mm fans plus the 120mm in the PSU will be fine. I don't see how switching to a case with 2-120mm is going to make a significant difference.

Here's what I've put together today. Total is $909.63 with the monitor. $709.63 without monitor and $674.63 after mail-in rebates. I think my Windows 7 Key from my University will transfer over so that's my free Windows 7. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

I've just finished my Bachelors degree and I'm looking for a new Desktop to replace my Dell laptop for gaming and 1080p video playing. It's been 8 years since I built a computer and I'm out of date on most everything.
I primarily play World of Warcraft and I'd like to get much better graphics...
