Why do you have two PSUs picked out? The case also comes with a 500W power supply. You don't need it with that 600W combo with the Mobo. I don't know if you can get it without it, but I would try to, because you don't need a 500W crappy quality PSU just laying around. Also your Mobo has to be overclocked to run 1600 MHz RAM, so see if you can find 1333 MHz RAM, a different Mobo, or I guess you could just overclock it. Not really sure how that all works out, but I think you might just not use the full potential without overclocking.

Other than that it looks pretty good. Some others might have some better suggestions, but I think it looks pretty good.

Your case and combo both have a power supply. I would try to find a different case or just trash the crappy raidmax PSU. You could get better RAM than that. Look for ones that have 1.5v, as that is the standard. The rest are just the manufacturer trying to get better timings. Look into corsair and g. skill.

^Like he said.
 
The reason i put the combo up there cuz i planned on using the 500w on another pc. So getting both is nice. Also i had another motherboard picked out then came across the combo so i thought i would save sum money. And thanks for the input cuz i dont really know about how to compare the ram besides the timing and the amount. And I really like the case design thats the reason i picked it lol.. But if u can plz put the items u suggested as a link on here, that would help me out alot.

Also i had an AMD build picked out but it came to about the same price even though i liked the AMD Phenom ll x6 but i think the core i5 2500k is awesome. lol

Well that raidmax PSU is not very good quality and could fry the components in that other computer. Which would result in more money out of your pocket for another computer.

I would recommend either of these.

1333 MHz

1600 MHz

It will just depend on what you want. Either go for the 1333 MHz with 1.5V, or the 1600 MHz with 1.65V. Both are pretty good, and I have G.Skill which is why I recommend it. They aren't the only good brand, but they are typically good for the money.
 
Well the other psu was just going in my moms older dell she had so im sure its prolly better than the one in there or i might just hold on to it for some reason lol it comes free so im not worried. And the other motherboard i was going to get if i didnt get the combo was http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131705 ill prolly buy this set up in about two weeks or so. So im still deciding lol.

Oh and i like G.Skilled too lol
 
If you change to that Mobo, it will run the 1600 MHz RAM, but then you definitely need a better PSU than that Raidmax. I would recommend Corsair, Seasonic, XFX, Antec, PC Power and Cooling, or Silverstone.
 
I was still going to buy the Corsair that was in the combo which i like Corsair's psu's and its 600w which i think that should be enough and its 80 + Certified
 
Alright well i really loved the look of that case but i read most of the reviews and decided that i need to go with another case. Any ideas? something that looks nice and is about the same price or a lil higher or lower, that is for HTPC, like quiet fans, good ventilation, roomy, etc.
 
Antec 900 has a pathetic cable management.
I would rather a Lian Li K62 any day and if you want to save some money the the CM HAF 912 or the CM RC-692
 
I dont care if their outdated but very nice case so far thats the best one for the price. Also this will be my first build so thanks for your guys input it helps alot

Oh and should i buy a ssd please give ur opinion on that and other accessories i should buy.
