Oh, and while we're at it, looks like the PSU you ultimately ended up choosing is on sale at the egg....

I think the "e" is a little worse than the "x", but Newegg has this posted with a rather misleading name. Should just say "RM Series".

She needs the new T30 140s coming next month haha

All the parts for this build are finally in my house. So hopefully I'll get this built up for her soon. Thankfully she's patient (more than I would be) and has a laptop she can use for some things!

I may be just a tiny bit jealous

Started the build for this one last night, I'll do a separate basic build log with some pics. Nothing custom or anything, but man! Does that Gigabyte board have some nice features!!

There is mechanical button that pops the PCIe GPU slot lock, whatever that's actually called, so I don't have to try and get my fat fingers in there between the CPU cooler and the GPU to release it! Brilliant! How has that not been there years ago? Are other companies doing that now too or is that just Gigabyte ingenuity?

The quick release switches for the M.2 heatsink and drives it pretty darn nice too.
