Put my build together the other night.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/h6FVCJ

Things I learned.
No video at first. Removed the video card and used the motherboard video to install windows.
Unable to connect via ethernet. No driver. No internet.
Connected USB wifi to finish install.
Once everything was running, installed video card. Installed ethernet driver.

Mistakes
Should have looked closer at the rear motherboard cover.
A portion covered the HDMI port. Needed to pull the board to fix.
Could have used a mini ATX tower but having the extra room is nice.

Next time I would get a power supply with more power connectors.

Coming from a Mac, my G27 wheel buttons now work. Clutch and shift works.
Computer runs nice and cold. Graphics is much nicer.
Haven't had a race but have been in big practices.

I still suck though. At least my computer no longer crashes.
