Semi Budget System, Thoughts/Suggestions?

[grizzie]

Hey guys! This is in a way a continuation of my last thread. I choose many different parts so I felt it warranted a new topic. The old thread can be found here. Basically I think I have narrowed everything down to the best possible option for the money I had wanted to spend. The only real dilemma I am having right now is deciding between the case and graphics card. I also am also unsure if the mobo I choose is decent or not, it seems alright after reading reviews, but similar boards were selling for twice as much.

I double checked everything and it seems as if the hardware should work together properly, so no problems there. Once again I wanted to thank you all, I really appreciate all of the help you guys have already given me.


Case: (having trouble deciding which is better, suggestions very welcome)

I also found a couple rosewill cases that looked allright, only problem is from what I have read, build quality isn't the greatest.

I'd stay away from a Biostar motherboards. If that's your motherboard price range then check out the ASUS P8Z68-V LE or the ASRock Extreme3 Gen3. The ASRock especially is a great board for gaming. The Twin Frozr II are overpriced in my opinion.

It's hard to comment on cases - a lot of personal preference there.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was looking at your suggestions, and I like both of them over the one I had picked. A little more expensive, but it seems worth it. I appreciate the help.
