My New System

[joraph]

I Need Help.....
Am trying to build my first system... have picked some components already. i just wanted advice on the components i have picked

1. Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit for Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD Platforms SDRAM CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

2. ASUS NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 550 Ti 1 GB DDR5 PCI-Express Video Card with VGA/DVI/HDMI, ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1GD5 -

3. ASUS P8P67-M PRO LGA 1155 SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 Supported Intel P67 DDR3 2200 Micro ATX Motherboard

4. Corsair Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CWCH100)

5. Intel Core i7-2600K Processor 3.4GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1155

I Need advise on a very cheap casing... I want to populate my system with 16gb of Ram but i saw a comment at Amazon that says having two or more pairs of the Corsair Vengeance 8 GB will not work...

If this is for gaming then I suggest I5 2500K equal to the 2600 in gaming, spend more on GPU GTX560TI as an example and 8GB ram is plenty.

Based on your system, I was wondering what psu you are using. If its less than 600, you may run into issues.

Why? Even System with GTX560TI only recommended by manufacturer, borrowed from EVGA "Minimum 500W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 30A)" and that is based on generic cheap PSU´s!

Thanks dude for the reply.. Am an editor.. And my Pentium 4 can't do the job without spending days waiting to render a 2 hours video... I used adobe premierpro CS 5.5, aftereffects.. Pinnacle 15.. e.t.c.
Can the H100 fits into the casing u suggested.. I was thinking of Cooler Master SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Storm
Sniper ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case (Black).. I would love to go with your option to cut down cost if it can house the Corsair Hydro Series H100 Extreme
Performance Liquid CPU Cooler.. Without construction

The system is primarily for video editing... my old system can't meet up with the task and demand..
I mainly use adobe cs 5.5 products like after effects and premier pro, Photoshop and illustrator .. i always use pinnacle 15..

Do u think that case will be able to house the Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with any construction... I have already added the Cooler Master SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Storm Sniper ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case (Black) - to my cart but if the Antec is ok to do the job then i will go with it... am trying to cut down cost to minimum.

Am adding Coolmax 750W 140mm Blue LED Fan Power Supply CUL-750B (Black) to my cart.... Is it Ok

If you want sure. However I would stick to the corsair,antec, or silverstone series because of their rep. What rolli said, its fine to have a 500w psu, but if you plan on uprgrading in the future, you might as well go for a higher wattage. I'll list some examples here.

Let me know what you think

For cases I would recommend
the antec 300 is a great case for its price

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119240 This one is great. If you are not into the red color, you could just buy a blue one for like $5 to $10.

Also, could you list all your components and their prices if you can just to see how much in total it would cost? That way I could see if I can make some adjustments if you need to lighten the price

With that use stick with the I7 2600K and the GTX550ti will do well on those tasks.
