New Build thread, need help :)

Hmmm, as far as the SSD goes, would it not be worth the worries/customer service?

Nope. It's a fast SSD but not fast enough to worth the worries/customer support.

Then should i look at the Phantom Full tower instead for my build? Im hoping to later add an extra GPU to the mix. I just love the Phantom look of the 410, combined with the see-thru-panel it has.

IMO yes, go for the Phantom. Like I said, I do not recommend the 410.

Ill try to go up to a CompUSA about 45 mins from my house to decide on the Phantom vs Phantom 410.

What are the largest GPUs?

After watching Neweggs review, it shows that 12-in GPUs fit in the case fine. If i ever SLI two GPUs would this hold true? They probably wouldnt be the dual-GPU 12 inch behemoths, but still. Would the case hold 2 GTX 670s or such fine?

Silly question, maybe. But i just love the case desgin/window. :p

When I say cramped, I mean how much space there is between the case's HDD bay and the end of the video card. From what I've seen, it's just too close.

Oh i see. Does this create air-flow problems and such?

As far as the GPU goes, do you think ill be fine with the currently selected one? Its the MSI R7850

If you go for that Korean monitor recommended earlier, you may not get max settings with this GPU. But a mix of medium to high should be attainable with most games with that card. In that price range, it's the best choice.

I decided to go for a 1920x1200 monitor simply for that reason, plus the fact that id be more comfortable with several 24 inch warrantied monitors on my desk than risking it on the Koreans. I plan on 2 or more monitors, so i wanted to make sure they were dependable and warrantied. :D Just saying.

If i have two 1900x1200 monitors, will that GPU run two of them?

Also, if i was to dump some more money into the GPU, what would the next step-up be?
