Skowronek Workstation 2012

Here is the wish list I put together based on pretty thorough research.

Next, mount the board to the [now] empty case. Yes, that’s a 750 WATT power supply. I was close to upgrading to an 1100 WATT, but thankfully it wasn’t necessary.

Next, the video Card (GPU).

Connect the drives, case wires, board power, cpu power, gpu power, additional peripherals, and voila, we are done.
