looks good so far, but ive no idea on the mx100 series ssd, i can however recommend a samsung evo 840 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372

Very good drive for the money.


Sweeet just wanted to be sure as the box of the 980 said minimum 500 watts..  Sweet will have a look :).  I did some research and according to tech reviews they are about the same in performance lol. The only thing i never heard of the brand XD. In nz they are selling crucial mx100 512gb SSD for 260 bucks which is cheap for nz standards . Yea i can't wait to  put it together and test games on it . 

the minimum requirement of 500 is actually for the entire system, its there estimate of what the lowest powered powersupply can be that will still work with the card, the card itself should only use around 165w on a reference design, so no higher than 200w on a modified design.
