    Oops I linked the wrong hard drive, was going for the 1TB velociraptor. Its a bit pricey though. So I will go for the 2TB WB black. Haha nice suggestion Benny boy! guess that would be the best choice for someone who couldn't make up there mind. I'd rather go with a SSD and HD separate though...

    $2,500/$3,000 Max - Gaming and Editing computer build

    Alright I looked some reviews on the H100i and it does seem a bit better + more features and lower price. so ill go with that. And thanks for mentioning the RAID setup with SSD's, I looked further into it and I decided instead to just get a single HDD for data and a single SSD for OS and games...

    Alright, good info. Thanks. I have another question. What +250GB SSD would you recommend for a Raid 1 set up for running win 7 and steam games and a few other apps? My steam game file is currently 120GB. (edit) Alright I looked to see if the H110 would fit in the HAF-X without any modding...

    Ok I miss understood you there, I will further look into what card will work better for me. I do prefer AMD GPUs but I figured with CUDA a GTX card would be better for rendering.

    For only gaming yeah, But A GTX card with CUDA will better suit my needs. I do like the Corsair 800D but I thnink the HAF-X will be better for me. I also went back to the Sabertooth board. And picked out some 1866 ram. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226382

    Alright I will look into running a RAID 1 HD set up, having a back up for everything is always nice. Yeah I figured that about the 2400 ram so I will also check out the 1866 ram, what brand would you recommend? (edit) just realized that the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H does not support 1866 RAM...

    Awesome, good info. Im glad you mentioned the fans, I didn't know that they made some more specific to radiators. Also glad you mentioned the Mobo as I was a little unsure of the sabertooth. Im sure its a great board but if I can bring the price down for basically the same thing I will...

    Iv'e looked at all the other GTX680 4gb's and I still prefer to get the gigabyte card. ill run it single until newer cards come out then I might go with SLI. Even looks like that may be soon, by the time I get around to buying this stuff the new hardware will be out and ill have to start all...

    $2,500/$3,000 Max - Gaming and Editing computer build

    I was a little worried about the gigabyte card taking up to much space but the way the PCI slots on the Sabertooth Z77 are positioned it is possible correct? The reason I ask is that im pretty set on the gigabyte card. I doubt ill change that. I pretty much do the same amount of gaming and...

    Thanks all. I'm not real set on getting that monitor I may go for a 27'', What monitor would you recommend for a triple set up? I only need one for now but I may get more later on. As for the ram, getting 2x8 sounds like the better way to go as I may upgrade to 32gb later on. I think I will...

    Upgrading AT&T Internet Plan (Slow Connection)

    Yes we get drop outs when its storming or very cloudy, I have no idea why. I will have to research how much it will cost but if we can at least get the speed up 2 or 3mb's I would be happy, the drop outs do not bother me to much (yet) Im sure the wires will need upgrading soon but probably not now.
