Any last suggestions before I buy?

CPU/MOBO: i5 3570K/ASRock Z77 Extreme4 $255 @Micro Center
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz $40 @Newegg

The thermal compound isn't needed - the stuff that comes with the Hyper 212 Evo is better than Arctic Silver.

Make sure that Vengeance RAM is low profile. If not get something else.

Otherwise all looks good.

might as well get windows 8

make sure the RAM is rated for 1.5 volts or less

arctic silver is a waste of money

What g-unit1111 said. Nice build, and nice CPU/MOBO offer you're saving 70$ approx.

The nice thing about Windows 8 is that the OEM license has been extended to system builders. So we actually get a legal license of Windows now.

Windows 8 worth it? I hear alot of people say lots of compatibility issues. It's also more for phones and touch screen computers from what I hear. But it is nice to know that the OEM version isnt just for the mobo you install it on!

All the negative reviews I've seen are from people who really hate Metro. :lol:

But it can be disabled. I hear good things about the actual desktop. I haven't heard of any compatibility issues yet - my Pro license comes this week, I'll be sure to post what I think when I get it up and running.
