    Jack, I have no clue and know no reason why your video card would be a problem or why it should. My only 'concern', and I don't know if it is valid or not, is that you have chosen a Board made for the Newer CPUs but have chosen one of the older CPUs. The Asus Deluxe II was made for the 6900/68xx CPUs. The original Asus Deluxe was made for the 59xx/5800 CPUs. Personally, although it is about $50 more expensive, I think I would go for the i7-6800K CPU, for that reason as well as it is newer and supposed to be improved over the 59xx-5800 versions. The newer CPU has different features such as a different turbo boost and the board is made for that. How it would handle the older versions, I have no idea. Better safe than sorry.

    The same reason my Asus Deluxe 2011-3 has a bios update for the newer CPUs that I have not updated to, and I tend to always use the latest bios.

    Yea, it does. Especially that brand. The NZXT brand looks much better.

    Yea, it is sort of, but so is hiding the wiring. It's just more in what you want. It's always a lot of extra trouble to get your rig looking pretty good. I really dislike my wiring. A lot of it was using the brand of wires I used. I won't use them again.

    Yep,
    All I can say my filtering is working pretty good :)
    Very little mess to cleanup when I hooked up my new 1080

    Now I do have a wretched asus gtx 980 to get rid of now :/

    Oops forgot filters

    Yea, I may try to get rid of my 980 Classified and my 780 Classified. I've never sold stuff before, but heck first time for everything.

    Looks is just a matter of taste. As long as it is clean and functional, everything else is just taste and for looks.

    Hi,
    Yep I live in a dust bowl so the filters are functional :)

    I looked into selling on amazon but they were not open or I had issues contacting and or signing up to register
    Seems a tad better than ebay and more straight forward than bidding rules....
    Might even drop by a pawn shop just to see what they would offer
    I'd take 350. probably :)
