With all that it is about 705. Would like to keep it under 900$ if possible. Can anyone tell me anything wrong with this build? I'm also not too sure about the Mobo, case, psu, and some kind of optical drive.

That a good brand for the psu? Never heard of them, I wouldn't want to cheap out on it.

Alright thanks, any advice on the Mobo though? I seem to be iffy on that one.

 

[Yupyup]

Alright nice, any case suggestions?

Antec P180/P180B one of the best cases are the market. Normal is silver, B is black.

Only if you can afford it, and only if you're not worried about developing back problems. That case weighs about 40lbs by itself..... 50-60 after all of the parts are installed.

Hahah, I just need something with good airflow and decent looks, well thats probably what most people look for.

One thing I'm wondering is I've heard that some mobos don't have an override thing for overclocking the ram, as there is that automatic memory controller thing. I'm gonna buy an am2 really soon, and I wanted to know if this one has the ability to (somewhat) freely overclock your ram without the cpu automatically bringing back the multi.

The P180 has excellent airflow.... it just weighs a lot.

 

[Yupyup]

Yeah but its also expensive, was hoping to get something about for about $50

LOL Fortron (FSP) is one of the best power supply brand, along with antec and seasonic
