Get Asrock Extreme3 Gen3. PSU get Antec ECO 620w.
Ram get Kingston HyperX 1333/1600 8GB $40 or Gskill.
Challenger is a bad case, get a cooler master Haf 912 instead.
I would recommend upgrading your graphics card as your gonna run low with that card.
Hard drive get Hitachi.

i dont see any difference btwn the cases except that the challenger has 3 fans and cooler master has 2(sry I'm just curious)


and i also need a fan placed ontop of my processor

Reply to C0MMANDO

and are there a difference between the 3 processors?
their all 2500k, but the description words all 3 of them differently

Reply to C0MMANDO

The only difference I can see is that one is a retail version.
