ok and everything else is good? Also what should I do with cooling and fans

 

[brpeden82]

i would add a coolermaster hyper 212 pLus for CPU cooling the 300 illusion has plently of case fans.

your gonna need a little more powerful graphics card if u go with a 1900x1200 monitor

i suggest a HD6950 2GB

also a Corsair TX750w V2 power supply

what's your max budget?

seagates 7200.11 hard drives had problems and many died .

any that are still around have been on a shelf for a couple of years . Best avoided

My max budget is about 1k USD and thanks Outlander, I would like atleast a TB so could you help me out? More than a TB is fine

Is Western Digital good? I saw a 1TB on there and it looked good
