Here is a very good combo deal, that you can check out...
It has all the high quality components...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Comb [...] mbo.213960

And as for the case, Lian-Li's are high quality ones...So no problem with that...
But that case is cheaper in newegg...I think its the same case right?

But here is another very good case, that you can check out...

As for the SSD, wait for few days...intel has just launched new SSDs, that offer very good value and has very good performance...but currently the sales has been halted for a small BIOS fix...So the sales should resume within few days...They are the 34NM ones and are silver-colored...

As for CPU Cooler, here are a few options...
Scythe Mugen 2
Sunbeam CCTF 120MM + 1366 retention kit
Xig Dark Knight
These have very good performance for the money...

wow thx for all the info guys ,
im going to be getting that combo deal with with asus P6T Deluxe v2 , and the ddr3 1600 dominator ram ,

Is there a big dif in performance from gtx 260 to 275

check these evga cards out , they have a 1 gig and 2 gig versions , which is the better one to get .

GPU : Evga GeForce GTX 275

or if you guys convince me ill stay with the gtx 260 card

Also remember im going to have 1 video card at the start so everything should be based on non sli

if the combo helps bring the price down on the dominator ram get them, other wise get some better ram for cheaper. OCZ Platinum 1600 ram is faster and is cheaper on newegg as well.

most reasonable in my book, i7 ram
