This is going to be a gaming PC for 1,200 dollars
I'm buying this weekend any last minute changes?
Also I dont need a CPU cooler right now cause i'm gonna OC later

Caviar Black is made with higher quality components, has a longer warranty and is a lot faster than the Caviar Blue (maybe up to 20% faster?). Definitely worth the 30$ extra imo.

And yep, that's the exact PSU that I would've suggested :)

Awesome!

Are there any better looking cases out there for around the same price as the one i listed? I really like the NZXT mid towers but Idk how good they are with cable management and airflow and such
