 Well, if i buy the coolermaster, how much will it cost more to add that second fan? (what do i need to purchase? Fan + clip?) If the A70 is comparable, then i wont need to buy a second fan ^^. That's why I'm asking. Most of the concerns are about its price. But on special at 29.99$, is it a good buy VS 212+? I played with the side fan for a while. There is a way for me to put the fan outside of the case, while keeping it! Granted, it may be ugly looking, but who cares? I get both of the world : I keep the fan, and i clear the 150mm limit!

as far as push pull if you only have 1 fan usually people go push unless they run into heatsink on their tall ram being an issue because in pull format the fan has to fight the heatsink more pulling air though it | ||

Try to get a 560, or AMD 68xx or 69xx 8gb are not needed. 4gb should be enough for gaming | ||

The motherbord looks fine. P67 will allow you to overclock. Oh right, do you plan on overclocking? If not, then getting the I5-2500k may not be the best idea (cost-wise) I'll let Skyr, and the other experts help ^^ | ||

I3 are also good for gaming, but only dual core. If you want to save money, I say the I3 isn't a bad idea. If you plan on streaming, then I5 may be better. I'll better people say on this If you are tight on money, SSD may not be a good idea. Ram : Any 4 gb will be fine http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231253 @ 38.99$ GPU : A 560 like this one would probably do it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127593 @ 216.99$ ---> What resolution do you plan on gaming with? Do you want multi monitor build? Or just a single monitor? Power supply : If you don't plan on overclocking/Having multiple graphic card build (SLI/Crossfire), then I believe around 500-600 watt should be plenty enough. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139019 Corsair at 69.99$ For the Case : Get whatever you want. Just make sure it has plenty of room. This is something you can keep for future build. If you don't plan on keeping the case for future build, then I'll suggest you getting a basic, yet good case. SSD should never completely replace a normal Hard Drive. Try to get one of the standard hard drive like this Black western digital at 59.99$ (500gb) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136795 Obviously, if you plan on getting a SSD, then you can get a Blue/green HD for storage and to save some money. But if you want to skip the SSD, you should get one of the Black drive. I5-2400 is clocked at 3.1ghz and is priced at 189.99$. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115074 If you get the 2400, I'd recommend getting a H67 motherboard. P67/Z68 motherboard allows you to overclock. H67 doesn't. This could help you save a few bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130584 102.99$ Note, if you plan on overclocking, or having multiple Graphic card in your build, do not get the motherboard I've listed, as it can only handle 1 graphic card! You could save more money if you go for a Micro-ATX motherboard. Micro means that the motherboard will be really small (so instead of having the possibility of having, say 4 slot for memory, you will only have 2) Well, that's all I can do due to my limited knowledge ^^ To sum up : SSD can be a luxury. Stick with a standard HD and save money! Graphic card : 560 is a good card that is about 20$ more expensive than the 460 you've listed. 570 too. 580 is a really good card, but very expensive. You also have some decent graphic on AMD side. Depends if you are a fan of one or another. If you want to run a multiple monitor setting, I would recommend you going with AMD. Power supply : 700 is too much, and OCZ isn't too reliable, ((what people say). 550-600 should be enough for a normal build, without multiple graphic, without overclock. Motherboard : You really need to decide if you are going to overclock, if you are going to run more than 1 graphic card, if you are going to have more than 2 memory stick, how many hard drives do you plan on having... After answering these questions, you can easily find the motherboard that suits best your need. No need to overpay for features you will never use! | ||
