Soo I had an awesome build (changed since then), w/ everything all set for when I do buy and assemble my first desktop in the summer. The case was a Senty G6000 (Perfect, but some stupid website decided to pull it, and the price went up $50 to $80)
So I need a new case which looks cool, but is much better then the crappy Raidmax cases.
An example of what I define cool: Raidmax cases (they're cool looking, but they suck tho), the HAF-912, DiabloTEK cyclops (apparently that sucked too :( ), and the AzzA Toledo (NOOO, 10 DOLLARS OUT OF BUDGET!)

My components are:

Will do :)

Nah. I know it lowers performance a little depending on how much ram is used, but for now it is more economical sense to get 1 x 8GB rather then 3 x 2 GB


Sadly, it's like $60
Thanks tho for your advice on the rest of the comps

It's just ten dollars more to get the case you really want and you won't do it?
Anyways it's hard to find quality cases under 50 so I really think you should spend the extra. If not just go for raidmax I owned one and it wasn't THAT bad. One more thing dual channel memory will help a ton in gaming vs single channel. That was my problem for a while and after I changed it I got a 10 fps boost plus a lot of stuttering stopped. Newegg is always putting ram on sale so just wait and watch their email ads

I kno. I'm planning on getting another 8GB card later tho for 16GB ram (For twitch.tv streaming and playing). problem is, I broke my last bone to convince my parents to cough up $650 for a computer, and I don't think I can convince them to cough up another $10
