Yes. B75 is a lower cost board than H77. | ||

Case is unnecessary but okay. The new Corsair GS models are based on the same CWT platform as the TXM series but with a lower rating and slightly worse components iirc. Weird choice of a PSU for a relatively high-end build... What is wrong with getting the Capstone which is better at a lower price...? | ||

Motherboard has no impact on gaming performance. Controller performance is basically going to be the same since both boards are from ASUS and both are low-end boards without much extra controllers... ASUS low-end boards are also overpriced for what you get and those boards are no exceptions. You're better off with MSI or Asrock low-end. HAF912 is an ATX case so all the low-end ATX and mATX boards will fit into it without a problem. | ||

I ended up grabbing this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157302 thanks to everyone who helped should be getting all my parts just in time for my 2 days off in a row. edit: oops wrong link | ||

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125422 for $530 @ newegg. arent these the same product? the 530$ seems to be overclocked? and is that first card better than the gigabyte 7970 i previously listed? because they are the same price, and i will be stopping at microcenter anyway. | ||

 Long-time reader here, looking to make a go at assembling a mid-level all-purpose PC. I've narrowed down each part to two or three options, and would love to hear the varying schools of thought. Thanks beforehand for the help.Budget: ~USD$800 Uses: media, gaming and medium-to-large-sized spreadsheet work (w/ Excel) Misc: no overclocking, no SLI, hoping to still be usable in 2-3 years, looking to emphasize low-noise CPU Intel i5-2400 ($190) Intel i5-2500 ($210) Motherboard (are the more expensive boards just about more pci-e slots and other bells and whistles?) ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 (x16) ($90) Gigabite GA-Z68A (x16,x8,x4) ($120) ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 (x16,x8) ($125) GPU MSI Geforce GTX 560ti 1GB ($220) HDD (what's everyone's opinion on 2.5" drives in desktops? is there potential for lower noise level and power consumption?) Seagate Momentus XT 2.5" 500gb 7200rpm ($70) WD Caviar Blue 3.5" 500gb 7200rpm ($60) Memory GSkill DDR3 1600 2 x 4gb ($46) PSU (does anyone know how quiet these are?) Antec 550W 80 PLUS Certified Semi-Modular ($69) Silverstone 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Full-Modular ($90) | ||
