So I put the whole build together, and everything works fine except for the fact that the Power Supply (Seasonic X-850 Gold) is really noisy. It's like a coil whine, and it happens as soon as you power on the Power Supply, even with the computer off. It's like nails on a chalkboard annoying, so I sent it back to Newegg for a refund and ordered the Corsair 850AX Professional version. Which I think is also made by Seasonic, and almost identical to the Power Supply I just sent back, but it's on sale right now and quicker to send it back for a refund and order a new one, then to wait for a replacement. Plus, I get a new 30 day return policy on the new purchase in case there is anything wrong with this Power Supply. I looked around though, and it seems coil whine is starting to become a bigger issue in the newer, high end power supply units. I guess the quality of Corsair / Seasonic is not what it used to be anymore.
