only thing i would change is get a 10,000rpm harddrive since you are already spending so much already and you would see a boost in load times and seek times.

should i change anything in it before i get it?
i'm looking for the best setup i get before the price gets ridiculous

Reply to gingerbee

will the xigmatek fit in the case without removing any side fans?

Reply to lemonlaw95

not to sure of the interior space on that case i would check for u but cant find interior specs. ones given are exterior but xig is not that much bigger maybe some one you owns one can give you height camparsion
