    Would it be worth it to maybe go for the Geforce 560TI OC like this instead? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127569 or this one for $249 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127565

    I have an Enermax 500W power supply in my current machine. Would that be enough power? Also, other than $4 difference between the Ripjaws and the ones you posted any reason to switch?

    Thanks for all the help guys! With the combo and MIR the AX really only $25 more than the TX and it is modular. I'm kinda OCD about wiring and I like only using what I have to in the case. I should be starting my build next week some time. I may still end up getting the case and power supply...
