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. | ||

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? | ||

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817812011&cm_re=2.5_to_3.5_bracket-_-17-812-011-_-Product 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. | ||

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) | ||
