Final decisions

[Homer_J]

I'm about ready to order all the parts to build my new gaming system. I do need some help with picking out the case. Also, I'm not so sure about the RAM and PSU, so I'd like some advice on those. Other than that, I think it's gonna be a pretty good rig. So please let me know if there's anything you think I should change, or if there'll be compatibility issues, or whatever! Thanks.

Hmm
mobo - no experience with GB sorry, but the specs look good
processor - enough, but go 3200 if u can afford it
ram - fine
hd - I had a 120 samsung b4, no problems
gfx - awesome
psu - i got a thermaltake 400 n it makes no noise and I've had no issues with it

nice comp man

I'd go for an 8mb cache hard drive. Especially for gaming.

and go with seagate

How about this one?

Also, can someone recommend a good, (not too pricey) case?

I suggest you get a different motherboard like the MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum which is way better in performance and overclocking.
Its a bit more buts its worth it.

Thanks, I'll consider that mobo if I can budget it. I'm pinching pennies with this system right now. Any recommendations for a case? I've heard that it's better to buy a case and PSU separately, is that true?

i'd go with a 3200+ if you can afford it.....

i like the mobo...everyone i know includein' me have never had problems with gigabyte....great boards for a lesser price is the way i think of them.
i've got the GA-K8NS...your boards about 2 levels higher i tink...pro..then ultra...mine runs fine.
