In an effort to save space and time, I will only provide the link to the original post:

In his post, he hyperlinks everything to Newegg
My question is with the "Gamer" Build @ $1,046.90 estimated (includes Updated MOBO & GPU).

1) My big question is for the MOBO. Why is the MOBO chosen to be a Micro ATX in which I understand the HAF 922 is a very large mid tower case?

2)Using the specs provided ( I would probably add 4Gb of additional ram, it will run 64-bit W7) what is the gaming performance for games like Crysis 2, BFBC2, etc at 1920 resolution? Is it high, very high, max settings, etc?

3) I plan to add a second video card to the system so the Micro ATX motherboard is really throwing me off, and I wanted to know if the forum has any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

tecmo's guide is a great starter point, but due to constant deals @ newegg, amazon, etc... it's an always changing process.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advice <---- Please do a "copy & paste" of that on here and fill it out. That way we can cut to the chase and try to help you get the most for your money.

btw 4 gigs of RAM is fine for a gaming build. That leaves you the option to purchase another 4 gigs later on down the road if you ever decide to get into something like video editing....etc...
