jack_attack said:+1. I'd go for the quad as well, and I'd personally not use Crucial. They're hit and miss lately, IMO. As for the Seagate, it's also an excellent drive. I'm not sure how much faster the F3 is, if any, but they're both really solid for mechanicals. Looks solid though.
Well, thank you for the input. I've never constructed a PC before, but I have had a lot of experience with computers and have a pretty general idea of how they work. It'll be my first home-brewed PC and I am pretty excited to get involved in it.Again, thank you for the input, brother. It means a lot to me.

Good to know. I wouldn't want to short out a circuit in the CPU because I was stupid and chose a higher voltage RAM. I want to keep it simple, so less voltage = less power the CPU clocks out resulting in a faster performance. Makes sense. Thanks, brother. -

Not quite. It has more to do with that fact that the Intel boards has the pins on the motherboards themselves, and they are TINY. To much voltage across tiny pins = literal shorting out of the board/CPU. You can run the higher voltage ram on the AMD systems because the pins are fatter. (YAY! Lets hear it for chubbiness!)
