Ok I'll stick with the 8GB RAM you linked. I just found the 16GB one because you suggested to spring for it if I had the cash in your previous post.
I'll also go with the i5-6500.
I think I'll go with the micro atx motherboard. Is the main difference between them the fact that the micro mobo has less ram slots, usb slots, etc? It looks like it has 6 usb ports (4 2.0, 2 3.0) and that's enough for me. And the ram slots is good for me, and I only need one GPU.
So with the micro atx mobo, what size case can I get?
Maybe I'll wait to see how everything fits in a new case before I decide on whether I want to get a modular PSU. For future reference if I decide to get one, which do you recommend?
Any big difference between the SC and SSC GPUs? All I'm seeing is a slight increase in core/boost clock speed in SSC over SC, and the SSC is larger in dimensions. I'm not sure why they would sell 2 different versions that are only $10 apart. They run circles around my old GPU though obviously, so I'm probably just overthinking this.
