Need opinions on spec. Please!

r u stupid i didn't ask for ur budget WHY gaming or just a nerd

For someone who likes to take shots at people asking for advice, It will be very easy for me and others to catch the stones you're throwing and hurl them back at you.

1 - he's new to the forums, as are you
2 - what warranted your harassing him with name-calling?
3 - you dare imply he is stupid when (up to the above quote you made) you had posted four times in this Thread, and used 4 punctuation marks (although 2 were in monetary use) and the only caps were by you yelling at him. I learned grammar in Grades 1 through 3. U shood lern 2 dew teh same.
4 - as for your avatar, you just joined the Forums and you have 17 Posts at the time of this Post...who's calling who a newbie?
5 - on the topic of avatars, your's just flat out offends me

Go troll somewhere else.

As for the OP, welcome to the forums! Don't get discouraged because some of us are jerks. It takes all kinds in this world, right ;) Overall, you'll find us very helpful with buying advice, upgrades, and troubleshooting problems. I'd jump in and offer advice, but it seems paratwa and oscaryu1 have already taken you under their wings, so you'll be fine. Good luck on the final purchase - I know it will be good!

Looks good. I've seen a Sonata in person. They're really small cases; even for a mid-tower. Why not get the 900, or something a little bigger?
 
Sorry, I didn't see that it came w/ a 500W PSU. The interior is small, but it's a nice looking case. Looks like a good deal. Nevermind.
 
Its actually cheaper by a few bucks. Thank you.
