New Gaming Build

[Mackles200]

I'm about ready to order the parts, i just need some final confirmation on whether or not all of these parts are compatible, a few friends help me put the build together.

Let me know if anything should be changed or fixed, thanks!

Still undecided about a Case.

Possible Cases:

Coolermaster Stacker 830 Evolution RC - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119122

looks a shit hot pc to me, btw id wait for the foxcon BLOODRAGE board if ur gunna spend a lot by the looks of things you are

 

[engiNURD]

Personally, I see nothing special about the bloodrage board that would hold up a build.

Build looks nice, btw.

 

[Dangman]

Build looks good to me. Though if you want to save $80 and don't need all of Vista Ultimate's features (very likely), go with Vista Home Premium 64bit.

Any input on the cases?

HAF 932 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160

1200 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043

These two are the popular cases for a i7 build.

I will make a few comments on your build. Looks pretty good most of it. But, the XFX GTX 260 Black is not that appealing now at $310 upfront when it was selling for $280 with a $40 MIR earlier. Get this EVGA Geforce GTX 260 (216) 55nm for $290 instead. It has a higher core clock speed than the XFX Black Edition. Also, you may wanna consider the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 1TB for $100 w/free shipping to save $20. Also, consider purchasing the Coolermaster RC-830 for $195.26 from Provantage.com

Any other cases?

I'm leaning towards the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119122 .

Personally, I like the Lian-Li's and Silverstone cases. I'm doin a build right now for a homie using the TJ07-B.

Build looks good to me. Though if you want to save $80 and don't need all of Vista Ultimate's features (very likely), go with Vista Home Premium 64bit.
