So... it took me a little bit longer to buy parts than I expected, and now I have a bigger budget for the last few parts than planned. With this in mind I'm wondering if I should buy better parts for the remainder. I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts. I will be overclocking. (My previous post seeking build advice here.)
This is what I already have:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme4
GPU: EVGA SuperClocked GTX 670 2GB
SSD: Vertex II 120gb
PSU: PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 750W 80PLUS Silver
I plan on buying the following previously recommended parts tomorrow morning for overnight delivery with a goal of building this Friday. Although these are NewEgg links I'll probably buy off Amazon for my prime $3.99 overnight fee.
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 400R
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM (according to Noctua's site these will fit under cooler... I hope)
Storage(+ DVD combo deal): Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit OEM
Also, the SSD was a gift but after reading all those recent newegg reviews I'm getting worried it will fail suddenly... not sure if I should just replace it now and use it as a pure game/Steam drive or something.
Back to the point of my post - I'm wondering if I should buy a better case than the 400R due to my increased budget... maybe a Corsair Obsidian 800D for the seemingly better cooling with separate compartments? I don't really have a budget cap at this point as I'm in to my next paycheck already, although I don't exactly need a case that can handle liquid nitrogen either
Thanks
