Yeah!
It seems like a lot of money to me for a computer, but then I look at the breakdown and nothing seems to be overly expensive. I guess the SSD is kinda pricey, but if that's what you want, what are you going to do?
Do you have an existing monitor? And is it just one monitor?

Yeah, I'll be reusing the monitor, keyboard and mouse I have now, and possibly reformatting my current boot drive to be my next secondary drive (it's only from 2009, my current secondary drives are worryingly old). I also have my external drive for most things.

| This sounds like a cool computer that I might try to build if I ever want to build computer. A+. |

I made this thread at Theldorrin's insistence, so we're all clear!
This one I made on my own (upvote me, please).

Is multiple graphics cards no longer a thing or what?

I've seen 2x 560 Tis suggested elsewhere, but doing multiple cards makes me worry about the actual build process, since I'm such a noob.

| Can we post our builds on this thread? Your setup is near the same cost as mine. |

It's more like $1175 because I'm not getting the CPU from Microcenter. Fortunately, I can basically just place one order from Newegg and Amazon and be done.
Until something is broken.

I've heard good things about Frys.
What's the difference between the Ripjaws and Value series, do you know?
Apparently a "heat spreader."

| The HAF case I have is similar to the one you first posted. I don't notice the lettering as much, its all blended with black with some shine to it. Didn't need a cooler. The air flow is pretty good. |

Yeah, I wondered whether it's customary to buy additional fans from the ones that come with the case. You're just using the standard included?

It's quieter and more reliable because it doesn't have mechanical parts. I believe the performance is better, too.

I just use the fans with the case. There is one on the back, top and front.
The side panel grill can fit an optional two or one big fan and there is one more spot that can fit a fan next to the power supply on the bottom of the case.
The three that come built-in is enough because of its design. |
