That case is a tad on the small side. You might want to get something bigger such as the NZXT Lexa S or the Cooler Master CM 690 ;)

I am also concerned that the cooler will be too big as some reviews from other people saying it doesn't fit

Fan/cooler:Corsair-Hydro series H50 CPU Cooler

MY second concern is how much RAM can windows 7 utilize, I already know vista only recongizes 4GB

My last concern is how much many watts should my PCU have, the one I planned is only 750W

Who's building this for you?

I have an Antec 900 case, and it fits everything i need

built it two years ago myself

intel q6600 Quad-core

2GB of OCZ Reaper ram

500GB HD

Abit p35 pro Mobo

8800GT 512MB

OCZ 700 watt PSU, just died, got a new one from best buy, I believe it's a Corsair, but it is a 750watt PSU.

looking to upgrade to 4GB, and also either a new Nvidia or new ATI video card, doesn't matter which one to me

I am planning to build this with my uncle who use to fix other people computers, haven't bought the parts yet though

and when I put PCU i meant PSU

[QUOTE="XRED_0"][QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"]Good call. The 690 is on sale for $39.99 w/ free shipping at Newegg!! GREAT deal....-GeordiLaForge-

I try to convince a family member to buy this for me since it cheaper than the other case I had chosen

I also wonder if I should save for a better monitor,keyboard, and mouse

my current montior is a gateway FPD1975W TFT LCD Monitor with a wide screen 1440x900 res

my keyboard and mouse are both gateway got them 3-4 years ago with a gateway comp

Definitely dump that 4890 and get a 5770... I just put this in another post, but I'll show it to you as well. DX11 games are going to look ridiculously better using DX11 video cards.... DX11 tessellation OFF...DX11 tessellation ON...-GeordiLaForge-

k I will w8 to build my rig until Jan or Feb for a better components to be released, since because the holiday it makes it harder to get parts and make time to get them, and I could save up more money and buy much better and more parts like a monitor among other things.
