I for one prefer separate links vs a wishlist, as you cannot put combo deals into a wishlist.

As far as SSD, just use it as a boot drive. Install games and other such programs to the hard drive.

Go with this memory:

That case is ridiculously overpriced, at that point you should just get one of the following:

Personally, i would go with this motherboard:

I've never had an asus optical drive last over a year in any of the builds ive done. I prefer to stick with sony optiarc drives as they use NEC chipsets:

How much are you spending on a video card? At this point and time this is the best price/performance card:

Yes, mushkin has been an enthusiast brand for years, and until recently has been known for their high end ram. They are new to the SSD market, but the ssd's are the same as the corsair force/vertex II/Gskill Phoenix drives, using the sandforce SF-1200 controller(arguably the best SSD controller on the market right now).

As far as the case, i would actually consider the azza solano to be a higher end case than the Xclio blackhawk, the blackhawks arent bad cases, but poor cable management and the price just kill what otherwise would be a decent case.

i dont know if the reason your choosing 6GB RAM is cuz of the price or just cuz you want to.

well, several things are wrong with that ram, first thing is its quad channel ram, and both mobos present are triple channel, and this ram is slower 1333 instead of 1600, at a later date i imagine i'll grab another 6gb and make it a 12gb system fyi. but glad to hear its working good for you!

Looks good. Any reason you're going with a micro ATX motherboard? Might as well get an ATX motherboard to take advantage of the large full tower case.

yea i was doing that last night but it takes some time to update, 24 hrs i think.

i know the case is expensive,... but its sooo purdy! colour change go! used to be 130 so i'm going to try to find it for 130 somewhere else, as for the cable management i can make it work with a lil ingenuity i'm sure!

** would really like to find this chip somewhere cheaper like micro center >.< curse upstate newyork! **

also i already picked up a 1 TB drive.

That power supply is a piece of garbage. And i wouldnt spend the money on anything larger than a 60GB SSD at this point in time, use it for your boot drive and then get a large hard drive for storage.

Wattage means nothing, the XFX 850W will 1) provide much cleaner power than that "1000W", and 2) it will provide more power than that "1000W". Just because the label says 1000W on the side does not mean it will output 1000W of power, while the XFX unit is based off of the seasonic M12D platform and is quite literally the best 850W unit you can buy right now. 850W is plenty...

It may be worth the drive to your nearest microcenter to pickup an i7, unless your driving some major gas hog of a car that is.

excellent i will take your word for it as your signature seems to indicate u know alot about power supplies, as for the umm solid state, common! 250 FOR 128! thats $1.93 a Gig! vs 60 for 150 $2.50 a gig! lol

oh and the nearest micro center is about a 6-7 hr drive away... 12-14 hrs of driving.. not really worth 90 bucks wish i knew someone who lived nearby so i could slip em 20 bucks to ship it to me lol
