Looks better. thumbup.gif

For a $60 case, make sure you have enough fans. You'll want at least 1 intake fan and one exhaust fan, preferably more.

You could back off on the processor speed a little and possibly save a little. Newegg has a 1 tb seagate for $80. Is that where you are getting your prices from? Is that board triple channel [I don't feel like searching for it]? If it isn't and is only dual channel then you have the wrong configuration (3 sticks) for that.

If you don't feel like searching for a correct answer to the questions and problems posed, why bother even taking the time to answer? A very quick spot of research (less than half a minute) takes me to this page.

Also if you are suggesting the OP "back off on the processor speed a little", what are you suggesting - to underclock the CPU? To replace it with a different one (in which case, give a compatible example)?

I'm not trying to discourage you from helping; rather consider it as a little guidance to posting helpful responses.

Cheers
