Motherbooard

Cpu cooler

How is it?

Looks good.

If you wanna save a couple of bucks, you could get the E7200 instead, but you don't really need to.

P.S. Does everyone like the Antec Nine-hundred? O_O

Well it should have good airflow. O_O. It has 3 fans!

As for other cases, I don't think I can help you there.

...Just my opinion, but cases aren't all too important. Any sturdy case should serve you fine. Unless you plan to overclock a lot, the Nine hundred doesn't need to be your only choice.

Do you know any other good cases? PC_X360

I like the look of the Antec 300 and the Coolermaster CM 690 more than the Antec 900. And they're cheaper too.

What about the mobo? I know nothing about it.PC_X360

Unfortunately, I don't know much about MoBo's as well. However, I have learned that a good and cheap MoBo is the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L

Possible Good Case.

They also sell one on Newegg without the PSU.

Cheaper, but not as good.

That's as far as I can think of for cases. Then again, these are the only ones that I have researched deeply.

When it comes down to it, I believe any case should do fine.

Like I said, I unfortunately don't know much about MoBo. That's all that I can offer.

What about TigerDirect.com? They have some excellent deals and prices pretty close to Newegg.

And yeah, like other guy saud, if you were wanting to save some money on anything I would suggest the CPU. The dual cores overclock excellent and if you could simply buy a lower spec one and overclock it to 3ghz that would be plenty. I think CPUs above 3ghz are too overrated because many benchmarks have shown very very little difference in the performance comparison above 3ghz.

Saving some money on CPU will give you some left overs to consider a better RAM, which is essential for overclocking anyway.
For example, if you have a motherboard that supports 800mhz DDR2, but you put in 1066, then when you overclock CPU there is heaps more chance it will be successful. Often is the worse offender in causing an overclock to be unsuccesful.

Coolermaster CM 690 is definitely the best budget case available currently. If you can find a thin 80mm fan (80x80x10-15_, then you can cool the back of your motherboard with it. If you really want a side window, I would suggest just modding the CM 690's panel. If you have a friend or relative that likes to do DIY it should be an easy process, just make sure they clamp it so as to prevent the metal from warping. Plenty of info available online about how to do an easy side panel mod.

to be honest if your buying that motherboard origanally stated, i would think you are looking to crossfire another 4870 am i right or even use 3 in xfire, so if you do plan on using more that 1 GPU in the future try to look at a 700+ PSU it will really come in handy :) other wise very nice build and for a case the new cooler master 1 is nice. forgot the model but i am pretty sure its the newest one outwii60own

A pretty good deal from TigerDirect, that includes a pretty good motherboard for the option of dual SLI, a 700w psu, and a case with a side window for only $200US.

The XFX 680i LT SLI board is certainly my choice of motherboard. Cheap, nice overclocker, decent features, air cooled.

If going for a 4870 video card, as suggested above r if thats what youre interested in... Then what you should do is buy a CrossfireX motherboard and an AMD 9850 Black Edition CPU.
Its 'true' quad core, meaning it has 4 pipes unlike intels current quads which has 2 pipes.

A system deal from Tiger which includes everything but the video card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3775001&CatId=3508

Another thing that AMD has going for it is that because they have lost alot of market due to Intel, then they are very much focusing on better support for their products. Their latest motherboards and CPUs have some very nice features, and they actually have a program that allow for the individual cores to be overclocked seperately. Its pretty cool.

Add that together with the release of the 4870 card, and AMD is back in the race in a big way.
