Cant get enough of my Gaming PC rig

[1depp1]

hi all,

(or look at my member configuration..hehe..doesnt show in my signature...dunno why)

as of now, i will change my mobo to
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128546

and my RAM to:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104262

but after that, i want to beautify my CPU case...
e.g. add LED lights, add custom mods on the chasis, etc, idk,
maybe can suggest me sites that show how to do it?

I wouldn't recommend that ram runs at a latency timing of 9-9-9-27 at 1.65V operating voltage for dual-channel systems. Get this instead will look nice with your new mobo as well G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-8GAB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231546#top

Gah, feels like im on a roll pointing this out.
Kingston RAM runs at 1.65v, which will damage you'r Intel CPU and void its warranty. You need 1.5v or less. The kit Bigcyco linked to will be fine.

To answer your 2nd question:

but after that, i want to beautify my CPU case...
e.g. add LED lights, add custom mods on the chasis, etc, idk,
maybe can suggest me sites that show how to do it?

This is a good case mod site:
http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodstore.html

You may want to check out this YouTube site:

Frozen CPU has some good mod items:
http://www.frozencpu.com/

I could add a whole lot more to this topic but it would probably be best to start a separate thread for that.

I knew leading into my post a best answer had already been selected however I felt I would contribute anyhow.

You may want to create another thread just on case mod suggestions or lighting.
