Nice, looks real clean. Good cable management as well.
Is that an NZXT case?

Hi, its a raidmax case.
http://www.raidmax.com/chassis_viper-ii.html
I would not recommend it for two reasons:
The audio and USB front ports are right next to restart and shutdown button. I pressed them mistakenly initially and was like wtf is wrong with the ports.
Second, the ledge at the back is such that it blocks full entry of the HDMI port into the graphic card. That led to days of worry as monitor would say no signals randomly and I was really pissed and concerned I got a faulty card for days. As a solution I cut the HDMI cable port. I will share the pictures later on.
Over a period of time and as budget permits I would eventually move to a better power supply, motherboard and card along with sli config and ssd. Perhaps a year or 18 months from now when hopefully newer games are more optimised for SLI.
Maybe to SSD I'll do it next month or month after. I can already feel system going to a crawl during game installations.
Tbh I went for budget motherboard, case and supply. Tho, I have v. Good experience with Asus products so far, from tablets to mobile, always pleasantly surprised. So not worried about motherboard too much.
Corsair vs 550 PSU has poor online reviews, so no overclocking for now. I just got it because it fell in my budget and corsair is a brand I recognised.
Case tbh I didn't really care about and again went with a budget option.
