[QUOTE="k0r3aN_pR1d3"]Well, the technology has improved somewhat. A typical $1000ish Asus gaming laptop is about on par with a $650-700 desktop in terms of performance (roughly, and depending on parts). More like a 400-500$ computer.
I guess i could try that, would it be better then where it is? i think that'd be the bottom left corner of that picture. That's where i put them except without the hard drive carryers. And i like my back end closed ( as in that side ), wouldn't this prevent it.
Haha lol. You do realise this computer is going to RAPE wow right? Anyways keep marc's build, and switch out the psu he gave you for the one i gave you. And if you aren't going to overclock, get the Cooler Master 690 case for 69.99$
Honestly, if i were you i wouldn't overclock. I mean i didn't overclock my rig. I'm just to concerned about my computer, especially since it voids the warranty. I'd say switch down to the Cm690 save 70$, switch to the psu i should you, save another 10$. And don't buy a video card. Then in a month or two, when the Hd5870 comes out, instead of paying the 200$ you were going to pay. Pay 280$ ( That'd still be in your budget) and pull 20$ out from somewhere.
I just remembered, silly me, when i was done with the computer, if your familiar with the cm690, i took out the hard drive carryers except the one that was in use, and basically used that to shove as many wires ( safly without stretching any) into there. I'm guessing that was a bad idea. I don't really know where to put them tho. Im bad at cable managing and haven't got a chance to straighten it all out down there. Anyone got tips or is it just fine the way it is?
You can overclock in a cm690 just fine. It can hold like 7 fans. And even if he doesn't do that. I think the switch to this psu is a way better choice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006&Tpk=corsair%20750tx and it is also 10$ cheaper then the antec.
