The Rosewill Challenger case won an award from Tomshardware for being cheap . They commented on how plastic the front was , how thin the metal was , and wished they had enough in the budget for an Antec 300

Im not convinced the rosewill psu is a quality unit either
How about the Corsair TX 650 instead? $85

The spec's of the RAM are fine . Just what SB needs

The motherboard is good value . There are features it doesnt have like SLI or crossfire , but its worth every cent of that price

well im just planning to go single gpu for now thats for sure. im not to extreme on gaming. Is there any mb that i can go with that is maybe a little more then that one that i can later down the road go SLi? because if games like bf3 and more are going to be coming out ide like to run most of them at decent res and fps.

This is the best price on a mb that can SLI

Many people like MSI , but some of the feedback is not that flattering

This Gigabyte maybe

I have never used an MSI product ! A few years back they were pretty average .
Im sure they are not that bad these days

thats true. products evolve and i guess quality does too
