The Antec Neo Eco 520C is out of stock but it is the better power supply of the two you listed. If you want a semi-modular unit, I'd get the Antec Truepower New 550 for $60 over at NCIX: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=36262&promoid=1055 Storm and HAF cases are very similar. The Storm series just never took off for whatever reason. If you want the HAF 912, get it from NCIX for $50: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=55583&promoid=1055 | ||

Should be an impressive machine compared to what I have been using. If you're not going to be overclocking, you can save some money and get a simpler motherboard. | ||

Im wanting to play new games on high-ultra, not looking for max. I have a 1920x1080 1080p monitor. I'd prefer Nvidia, I've had my eye on the 560 ti for a while. And I want a i5 2500k cpu, from what I've read it seems to be a popular choice. The rest is fair game, thanks in advanced. Prices in CAN pretty please :D | ||

I'm planning to build a computer in the pricerange of 600-700€ and I have a few questions.. Firstly, will it work well to just build the 800$ computer in your suggestion and I just buy the things from Finland? Some of the prices seem pretty drastically different, http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/26565/cvrdc/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-3-3-GHz-LGA1155-suoritin-boxed has the i5 2500K for 209€ which is like 275usd compared to 220, is it better to just order some stuff online? If you could suggest Finnish stores I can buy stuff from that'd be great. Thanks. | ||

Also you can't compare the prices like that, at least Finnish prices all include a 23% tax whereas american prices don't have any tax included. My brother and father live there and I visit them often. And in Estonia the prices are even more expensive. Is Germany(/UK/etc) price + shipping cheaper than Finland + no shipping? I kinda know comparing prices like that is a bit wrong but I just need to find out what would be the best possibility in my price range. | ||

If you think it's worth it feel free to change the processor to this: http://www3.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=41225&agid=1617 I wouldn't go for an overclocking configuration with that budget, but if you're interested in it that's going to be around 196 + 82 + 22 instead of 180 + 41 so nearly 100€ more | ||

Is the 600$~ build from the OP still pretty reasonable, or is there something with better bang for buck out there? Any idea what the best (i suppose best means best for least money lol) 24~ inch monitors are that I can get? Thanks! | ||

24" TN monitors for ~$100 will be abundant on boxing day. | ||

As for 23"/24" monitors, just get the cheapest big brand monitor (Asus, Acer, Samsung) that was released fairly recently and has the ports you need. All of these low end monitors are all really similar so you won't be able to tell a difference. Since you don't want to spend more money on your desktop, this is really the only advice you need to pick out a decent TN monitor. | ||
