So Im at a little less than $700 so far not including shipping. I will be ordering evertything at once and Im looking to keep it not too far over $1000.








So all I need now is my case, optical drive(s), PSU, and Monitor. And also any extra fans I need. I really like the Thermaltake Tsunami, but its causing me to near the end of my budget quicker unfortunately. How much room does the case have for extra fans and such? Is the case worth it? Then I will choose my drives and monitor based on the color of my case.

Would this PSU be able to run my system alright?

What is your budget?

For $80.50 you can get a Western Digital 160gb SATA hard drive FYI

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

Perfect build

But May I recomend at least a Thermaltake TR2 for that system, it's like the TT-420AD except made for PCI-E
