the next time you accidentaly start a thread in the wrong section, just send a PM to Anandtech Moderator and ask them to move it. otherwise, just leave it there. dont cross post. a lot of people wil get mad at you.
 
No need to get the DFI if you don't plan to OC.
Looks very nice. I don't see anything that looks out of place.
 
I also ordered one of those Gigabyte models after examining performance and features for my new X2. I'd say probably get a better brand for your power supply ... unless SeaSonic is some new, good company that I've never heard of.
