Do you really need a 140$ case? Why not get a 70$ one, and buy an extra gig of ram. A 750 watt powersupply is overkill.
Looks good though.

The case will provide ample cooling, unlike a cheaper case. All of my computers have had cooling problems, so I'm going to try and get rid of that and do things right. And the powersupply is overkill because eventually I'll run SLI. However I'll have to think about that extra gig of ram. Thanks for the input Chris.

Ya, if you can cut back on a non-essential, or find a good case with 500+watt powersupply for $150 or so you could spring for an extra 1-2 gigs of ram. If you are a dual screener, your notice a big difference in performance from 2-4 gigs while gaming and such.

a lot of people make a big mistake by purchasing a cheap case through my personal experiences a good case is the key to cooling.
EDIT: Not a dig at your post

Never had a problem with cooling, but I don't think the $ amount determines air flow. Perhaps some specs would be in order?

I'll try to figure out some way to spec when I get it
Just ordered the parts a few minutes ago. Can't wait for them to get here.
