@0oZe

Heatsink is overpriced. Xigmatek Gaia can be had for less and offers similar performance to that of the Hyper 212+: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233082

You can get the motherboard and a 6870 in a bundle deal to help take off from the total: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.666372

The rest of it is good.

Can anyone recommend a good pair of speakers?

Preferably 2.1, and preferably between 50-100 USD

Well, I'd very slightly rather have a 1333 MHz CAS 9 kit than a 1066 MHz CAS 7 kit (though honestly they could well be using the same spec memory ICs under the hood).

For what it's worth, this kit has higher ratings too, for the same price:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231422

edit: there was nothing special about the other RAM or this either.

I'd expect he could get it to 1333 at CAS 8, honestly, and be slightly better off with the one I suggested. It's all rather minute differences though. I probably should have clarified that thought process in the post though.

Hmm im looking at this case seeing as it has tons of good reviews. If i read this right it doesn't come with a 2.5" bay. This means that ill have trouble when it comes to my SSD?

You can just tape it to your case or buy an adapter separately.

Just get adapter rails.

Oh, and that case is actually pretty good, but by no means should you EVER trust newegg reviews.

By pretty good, I mean strictly cooling-wise, It's not going to be a paragon of acoustic performance.

Hmmm, i wouldn't normally trust reviews but theres 900 of them and most of them are 5 so i thought it seemed pretty good.

now on a side note, besides cooling what do you mean in terms of performance?

Acoustic performance. Sound. Most "gamer" cases are noisy as all hell. But it's a great air cooler.

And trust me, newegg reviews are useless. I can find you positive reviews for objectively terrible products there, and negative reviews for awesome products.

Like I said, that case actually is good, but the fact that that lines up with newegg reviews is just kind of luck.

Well weird story, i dream alot... I was on newegg getting my parts, fall asleep in my chair and then someones yelling my name and i realize that it's my sister. I start saying something about i need longer audio cables or something weird like that. Now im wondering what speakers should i get lol, i forgot about them.

I need a sub 200$ speaker set if anyone has some experience in speakers here.

EDIT: Looking at these currently.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121048&cm_sp=Cat_Speakers_&_Headsets-_-Hot_Deals-_-36-121-048

http://www.amazon.com/Edifier-S330D-Multimedia-Speaker-Black/dp/B002BA5JLW/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t


They are in my price range, but as newegg's reviews are not very trusted, does anyone have an opinion on these?

I would probably pick up the klipsch pro media speakers but my brother who has his setup next to me purchased those and he'd be pissed if i had them aswell. I was looking at the z2300 but they are silver and my setup is all black so it would throw the look off. (if you know what i mean)

I'm looking into buying a new computer for under $1000. So far this is what I've came up with. I want to be able to run Starcraft 2 on ultra graphics at most likely 1920x1080 resolution. If able, I would also want to stream on ultra/high graphics.

I'm willing to pay some money for a fan.

Does this setup look good? I'm willing to change stuff if need be.
