Hey guys, working on getting the parts for an ITX HTPC for the family room. Nothing will be stored on it. It will be streaming content from my server via wifi for now until I get time to wire the house.

I already have the case however still working on the other parts.

What do you guys think of the i3-2120 3ghz in an Antec ISK300-150
Would there be enough room for the cpu fan? I can't find the i3 2100T anywhere.

I also need 8GB Ram to go with the Asus P8H61-I mobo that I'm getting. DDR3-1333. Could you guys point out which one from this site goes well with the Asus P8H61-I

The i3 2120 will fit fine with the stock heatsink (I have the i3 2100 in antec ISK310-150 which is almost the same)

Any RAM will work, just get the cheapest since this isn't going to be a gaming PC. I think I'm using Kingston ValueRAM in mine cause it was shorter than normal RAM sticks.

Is your i3 a 2100 or a 2100T?
The T processors have a lower hight fan?
Do you think ripjaws ram would fit the case or should I just get rams with no ripjaws?
