Jingle never even mentioned OCZ... ModXStream is okay but it's old and overpriced... OCZ ZT would be better at the same price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341050
LGA2011 will only last longer than LGA1155 because Ivybridge-E is being delayed. Haswell will not be on LGA2011, it requires a brand new socket since the voltage regulator is being moved to the CPU.
Your build basically sucks. One of the reasons of building on LGA2011 is for the massive amount of memory it can support but it looks like you have no intention of moving up to 64gb since you are getting shitty Corsair Vengeance which have ridiculously tall heatspreaders that does not clear Noctua NH-D14 or any flagship heatsink. I guess you can get a H100 or do a custom loop but a low-end Rosewill case isn't really suited for that.
Asrock motherboard for high-end, yuck.

I'm not sure yet if they will all work together? Need some help from someone who knows their stuff  Basically all this computer is for, is playing Starcraft 2, on high graphics, and streaming it online, so a good CPU is a must and also a graphics card that wont kill itself when trying to run good graphics
A good CPU is a must, so you pick a piece of shit? SC2 can only use 2 cores, and an i5 gets better clock for clock performance, and is plenty to stream with easily...
I have a bad feeling about that PSU for some strange reason.
Your RAM seems a touch overpriced.

OCZ ZT seems to have pretty shitty reviews, r u sure this is the right one?
as for the vengeance, are you implying that i should get XMS3 models instead?(im not planning to buy a $90 heatsink tho)

Consumer reviews are worse than useless. You aren't willing to buy a good cooler but want X79? And just buy a cheap DDR3 1333 or 1600 CAS9 kit. You don't need heatsinks on the stuff.

The only shitty review that I'm aware of for the OCZ ZT is from [H]. Jonnyguru, Hardwaresecrets, Anandtech, and so on all mentioned that it's good.
If you don't want the OCZ than there's tons of other optinos at the same price which are all better: PCP&C Silencer MK III, Seasonic M12II, Rosewill Hive, and Antec HCG-M.
I never implied you should get XMS3. XMS3 is often (always) overpriced.
Btw if you don't want to invest into a $90 heatsink than I'm guessing you won't be buying a $1000 octo core so building on LGA2011 is essentially a waste of money for you.

Changed up the CPU and the Motherboard due to recomendation. Also a new power supply and New RAM that I already have but couldnt use with the other mboard.
Comments?

what do you need 2 PSUs for?

I havent put two psu's have I? I mean, the PSU I have put there, is the new one.

I still don't understand, building on lga 1155 with the upcoming i7-3770k will be around the same as any respectable Z77 costs around $200, but they have 4 DIMM slots while the $250ish X79 mobos have 8. the 3820 is currently on sale at microcenter(i live a few miles from one). So why shouldnt i build on lga 2011?

It's true that X79 has eight DIMM slots for support up to 64gb of memory but if that was your intention, you would be getting 8gb DIMMs, not 4gb DIMMs. With 4gb DIMMs, you would only be capable of 32gb of memory which is the maximum supported on LGA1155... If you needed the quad channel memory bandwidth than you would obviously be getting a a 4x4gb kit but you're not.
You're saying costs will be around the same when comparing a mediocre / budget X79 board with a $200 Z77 which is relatively high-end for LGA1155, you got to be joking me right? Obviously comparing shit enthusiast to good mainstream is going to end up near the same price point.

Says there is a PSU in that case? Either way that case looks really suspicious, I doubt it has serious build quality.

Much more sane. I'm not much good at doing the bargain hunting thing some of our guys do, but that should be reasonable.
I am curious why that case though... You seem to know better than to use the shit PSU that comes with it, and there's better cases for thermals and acoustics and building in.

I'm really just, choosing it for aesthetics. I like cases you can see into like this, if you know any better ones though, I'm open to suggestions?

If all you're worried about is aesthetics, then go for it, I guess, but just don't expect it to be a great case overall. You won't find anything GOOD that looks like that in a cheapish price range.
|
Well, If it holds my parts in place, thats all I'm really worried about :S, I'll have a HSF for my cpu so that wont overheat.
|
Uhm, as it turns out, a good cooler does NOT mean you can't overheat. If the box doesn't move enough air effectively, you can still have thermal trouble. Generally, thermal performance of a case only gets to be worth mentioning if you OC, but with a 2500k, P67, and an aftermarket cooler, OCing seems to be a reasonable expectation.
It can just limit your headroom for OCs a bit, depending on what you want to do, and the piece of silicon you happen to get.

I do not plan on overclocking my cpu, I just want things nice and simple and to run smoothly, so this case seems like it would do fine
