what, i thought ram voltage should be 1.65V for the i5.

Haf 922 has got nothing but rave reviews from what i';ve seen. I bought it myself but havn't even un boxed it yet.

sonic, I'm planning on using a 1200 monitor, but i just saw your post [i7 build]. Do you think that I should go on 1080 and save the 60$ (before 30$ mail in rebate) difference (Asus models on newegg.ca) with this build?
I gues that's why you recommanded me the 1080 one first time =)

Ah and if my budget is really tight actually, but I can afford a case of like 100$ which one of these case would you get?
Storm Scout or the 922 or the 900

It depends on how big you want the monitor. I have the 24" Asus and love it, it is really alot bigger than I thought it would be and really don't want a 35.5", but its all personal taste.

I'd get the 922.

As far as the ram question. You only need to worry about ram voltage to make sure it is right for your processor. The i5 can use up to 1.65v so 1.6 is completely fine as is 1.5. The ram i recommended is alot better than what you picked. The only people who would need to have 1.5v ram is for extreme overclocking as I said.
