heres what i am thinking
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681114715...
Could I substitute this case? It has more fans, and with free shipping would be cheaper then the tempest case.
This is the build I am looking at.
Hello everyone! First time builder here.
So heres the story. My boss is allowing me a $500-$600 budget to build a computer for a estimating software that I work with. It has basic requirements. But I figured if I could build a good system that I could use when the boss is away for some league of legends then why not!
So I found the $508 cheap bastards build and it seems pretty good! It is a few months old tho, so I was wondering if there was any different hardware I should substitute?
www.floorcoveringsoft.com/ is the program. Here are the requirements
For Commercial takeoff estimating
Windows 8,7 Professional recommended(I have 7 ultimate)
i5 or i7
Pentium 4 Duo Core or Quad Core processor
4GB or more SDRM
And leaving the optical drive out, I have one from my old comp I am just going to slap in there.
Do not need operating system, mouse, monitor, keyboard.
Thanks all!

Is the cpu cooler essential?
Is the Enermax a better power supply?
The raidmax is 530 watt for same price.

I think this is what I am going with. Seems like a decent comp.
