Can you tell if it's the Aurum or the Aurum Pro?...

Can you tell if it's the Aurum or the Aurum Pro? The pro is a bit better, but obviously costs more. If it were my rig with so many expensive GPUs, I'd be going for the Antec myself.

I guessed it was a superflower when I saw the modular connectors. Curious why they didn't go golden king instead of the older unit. Surely the case design isn't significantly different to fit the...

The idea with an SSD is not to keep everything on it, like you would a big HDD, but just to keep things on it that matter, like windows, and a few games. You put your big data on a hard-disk....

The 7770 is a decent mid-range gaming card, for a gamer, you should prioritize the graphics card first, and then go for a good cpu second. Add in a small SSD for maximum speed, it's seriously the...

You could just swap the fan over on the 212, something quiet like, for example, a gentle typhoon, would lower fan noise from it.

Try without the UPS.
Also - remount your heatsink, just in case it's that.
Well, if it reliably repeats so soon after it hung, then it's almost certainly a heat related problem. Computers cool...

Well, it seems your airflow setup is good, your parts choice is good, and with a UPS to isolate you from external problems, I think the PSU is the only other possible culprit. You will also want to...

Because it's a speed controlled fan that responds to temperatures inside the PSU, not to load directly. The fan spins for a few seconds on startup just to make sure it works.

It's only not recommended when you have lots of things on the same rail. In your situation, I believe you'll be fine. Just make sure the molex plugs are firmly inserted into the adapter as that's...

A kingwin gold or platinum 550w would do you perfectly. If the price difference between gold and plat is small, go plat, otherwise go for the Gold.
Corsair is very good, but I doubt you'll get as...

Sounds like that PSU of yours may be overheating, or going out of spec when warm, or something else of the sort. I've not heard of it, which is never (usually) a good thing.
