Core i5 Sandy Bridge Build. [with pics]

Purchased a Thermaltake Frio to help keep this beast cool. I almost purchased a Corsair H70 watercooling block but I figured I would save that for when I make the jump to the i7. Will be posting pics soon.
 
Thanks. I figured I might XFire my 6850 later on so the extra wattage could help. Not to mention they're just damn good PSUs. Modular plus longer cables makes it perfect for my rig.
 
Looks like I might wait until I either get a new Mobo replacement or buy a SATA card with these new recalls. I might just buy a SATA controller since putting on aftermarket coolers for this thing is a big pain in the butt.

I did redo some of the cable management, so it's much nicer now, but I don't think it would be wise to do a complete cable management system until I resolve the Mobo issue.
 
The Intel chipset has a problem with some of the SATA ports and can mess up any of the devices connected to it. Fortunately, it might not happen to everyone and it only occurs for ports that are not 0/1. The only thing I have hooked up to the other ports is my DVD burner. Which I can just take out and turn external as well. My hard drives are on the unaffected ports.
