    RJ, why did you choose the 780T?

    RJ, why did you choose the 780T?

    That a good question so here are my answers:
     
    1. Corsair quality
    2. Better window view
    3. Large chassis which can accommodate anything with room to spare
    4. 9 slots

    Yes it is.
     
    My GPU temps as a result of this case have fallen quite a bit

    Yes my GPU temps have most definitely dropped. I have been monitoring the temps for almost 24 hours. It's between a 7 to 10 percent drop.

    The two eps cables for the mainboard from the PSU were too short to run behind this huge case so I ordered two eps extension cables to overcome that. I also want some type of 970 video card when stock is available and then I'll update my mods rigs.

    Yes of course. I just don't know when stock of the GTX 970 FTW will be available in Europe.
