Not really for hardcore gaming but I do play WoW and AC Unity somewhat frequently, I know in terms of Mini/micro builds that Intel is king due to board sellection but I can't foot the bill right now.

Also looking to go dual moniter as I'm a Programming student and frankly its nice to have one up for coding and one up for reveiw of the pages.

I like the cube look for the case and tried to stay with a white/black scheme as looks do matter....not gonna Lie...lol

Review from hitechlegion ^


Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference

Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.

Good feedback from SR-71 there on your AMD build. Alternatively, the Intel build below would offer a better upgrade path for the CPU and you would not need to overclock. Would also recommend 140mm case fans instead of 120mm (more volume).
