I need help deciding on a case. At the moment, I'm stuck between two: NZXT M59 or Cooler Master RC-310... Any advice? Also, I cannot decide between these processors: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (Quad Core) or Intel Core i5 650... Any advice please?

Well the M59 is the better buy and The Phenom 2 955 is too because the i5 650 is just a dual core and the Phenom 2's are quads and are very close to i7's with games.

that case should be fine for a mid-tower build, i noticed you are going to put DDR3 in that rig, i would recommend not doing so, it's just a waste of money, there is no real noticeable performance increase in gaming when using DDR3 over DDR2 cuz of the increase in latency.. i know it's really not THAT much more expensive than DDR2 but if you want to save a little $$ then i would go with DDR2....
