hi, i'm looking at building this gaming build but would like to get suggestions on what i should change or improve on. my goal was to keep it under $1500 but have room to upgrade if i needed. specifically i am not too sure on teh ram. i wanted more than 4gb of ram and it to be ddr3.

all your links appear with errors (to me anyway), but ill still address some things.

you said you wanted ddr3 and more than 4gigs, but you currently have 6gigs of ddr3 selected so...
also if you can afford it, i would get a slightly better mobo that utilizes ddr3 in triple channel to take advantage of that ram.

as for cases, it depends on how much you want to spend. here are some good ones.

Looks ok, except I would go with a higher quality HDD. Maybe this.

i changed the case to the one on the list i liked and the hdd to the suggested (thnx )
do you have a suggestion on a better mobo like was suggested? i am not very good with choosing the best possible choices. i pretty much know enough to make sure that the pins and everything will fit so it will run but getting the best choices is y i'm on the site asking for help. also any thought on the ram it doesn't have to be a 6gb can be more. but i was looking for something not obscenely high, and once again not sure if the choice i have down would be the fastest choice.. thanx really appreciate the input
