Thanks, i'll take a look. Overclockers seem to have the best prices for ram with their 'this week only' promotion.

one consideration for me was maybe getting a faster SSD possibly the Pro instead of the EVO. i'm nearing the top of my budget though ...

If you wish but there's another option maybe pick up an i7 4770k and you could just about fit in a 212 evo. It will help you in the long run just in case games will use 8 cores also if you wanna do youtube in the future you've got the option or stick with the 4670k and pick up a h100i. The choice is yours :)

Yes more than certainly, someone told me a 4670k and a 212 evo should get to 4.3 or 4.4 ghz. Have fun with your new pc ;D
