Hey All! I was hoping you all wouldn't mind taking a look at a build I'm doing. I'm looking to build a great gaming rig that will last me some time. I'm also looking for ways to bring down price without sacrificing much in name of performance. Well, here it is:

My questions are, is Directx 11 worth it?
Do i need 32mb cache for my OS HDD? Or will 16mb be fine.
