As the title states, I am building a gaming PC on a budget of sorts with the Tax Return that just came in (yay). So far I am looking at this build:
CASE - $49.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153

MONITOR - $119.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005363R

HDD - $64.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840

GPU - $259.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127744

DVD - $18.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135304

PSU - $74.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182068

RAM - $84.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

CPU - $239.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899

MOBO - $119.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157460

Total - $1,040.34
I want to add in a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 but I am currently unsure whether it would even fit in that case or not. I would prefer to stay at a mid-tower case.

Yes, BUT if will require you to put ram in further away slots if you do choose to get the 812, so compatability with ram problems with that one. absolutely no problems with the 212 though

though, try to get a gpu with a dual fan cooler if you truly want to get max overclocking out of it. the blower style ones, like the one you chose, are typically louder and run hotter, and thus don't overclock as well (msi gaming is a good one, or evga acx cooler)

Thanks for the assistance. Tried asking on Overclock.net and they just kept on telling me to swap different parts for stronger parts completely ignoring the fact that I didn't want to spend more then $1,100. I am at my budget give or take a couple dollars. And this was much faster lol
