Hey All,
I am all but done putting together this computer on newegg. Just thought I would run it by everyone as see what you guys think. Specifically, am I doing anything dumb, or could I save money at some spots? This computer will be for gaming at relatively low res. I do not plan on overclocking but who knows I may get bored some day.

One last question - Is there a better case at a comparable price? I am not too excited about that Centurion, but I do not really want to spend much more than that on a case.
Thanks for any input!
