Looks good to me. :good:

You can probably get a better case for the price, though. Aerocool has a good deal on ZZF right now:

They do this from time to time for some reason...the Aeroracer Pro and the S9 were both like $50 shipped for a while.

Yeah, I've got suggestions.

Change your case to CoolerMaster RC-690

and maybe motherboard to GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 but it is not necessary. What you've got there is fine.

Everything else is good.

lol you guys dont like my case hehe OK.

Well for the motherboard i would like 2 PCI 2.0 Express slots in case i want to get a second vid card later.

 

[Drenlin]

^ You mobo is actually better than the one he posted, lol.

Case

OK?

This RAM $10 less http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226103 with 7-9-7 timing instead of 7-7-7 worth it?

Price lowers to $792.90 with a $99 motherboard

That case is much better. It's essentially a copy of the Antec 900, which is a good thing. Great cooling. Raidmax cases are usually fairly mediocre, but that one's actually really good.

Out of those motherboards, the Asus 790X board is definitely the one you want. It's the only one that can do crossfire properly.

 

[xxartanisxx]

OK got that motherboard & case going at $835 with windows with $85 MIR

do these things work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811998066 they look kinda cool

Ahh one more thing can i put ddr3 1600 ram in a old computer with it still working? Wanna upgrade some parts on my system atm and its kinda a fail so just curious

 

[Drenlin]

Those touchscreen controllers do work, but I wouldn't trust one made by Logisys. NZXT has a good one around the same price:

As far as the RAM, an older computer probably uses DDR2 or even DDR...they're not interchangeable.

 

[xxartanisxx]

Alright lol never checked that last time we upgraded RAM we musta lucked out
