As posted in the title, I'm looking to buy a few things and wondered if you guys could help a brotha out. I'll be reusing all of the components listed below.
- CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103961
- MoBo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131754
- RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233335
- HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840

I'm going to be purchasing a 7850 soon and thought I might as well get a few other things as well. The goal is to stay relatively cheap while still getting the stuff I need.
- Case: I've been on the case lookout for quite awhile. I currently have an Antec 300, which is, lets face it, pretty outdated. All I really ask is that it has sufficient airflow, cutouts for cable routing, and a side window to view the goodies.
- PSU: Looking for a reliable and cheap 600w.
- Heatsink: Don't know whether to get the EVO 212 or spend the $30 more for a closed loop from Corsair or the like. Any insight to this would be helpful.
- SSD: Just looking for a faster windows boot and potentially some other things.

Thanks for the quick response! Man am I going to have a dandy time picking which of the two cases I want. They both look pretty awesome. Couldn't be bothered with rebates so the Evo 212 it is. Again, thanks for the help, mate.
