i would go ahead and spend the 10 for this mobo

also you don't want a slow, old sata 2 ssd

Or if there is a microcenter near you you can get the 960t and that mobo for 40 off, and i think they had some ssds on sale too.

The memory you got is quad channel, not what you want for that CPU, try this

[wolfeking]

quad channel memory will work in his motherboard. All that means is that all four DIMMs are guaranteed to work together without conflict. The motherboard has 4 DIMM sockets, and quad channel is a good way to fill all of them.

Oh, my bad

 

[Briilee]

The case is really an overkill.
You could buy a cheaper case and be able to afford a I5-2500k, which greatly outperforms the one you've picked

 

[cabinfever1977]

the case comes with a free power supply, it still cost more tham my whole computer, but it is cool.

 

[jonnyp11]

although the psu it comes with isn't the best, really a haf X and a good 750w corsair would cost the same or less, although with the keyboard/mouse/headset it doesn't seem like that bad of a deal, and the case is sort of cool and seems to have good cable management

I like the level 10 gt becasue of looks and accessibility! and the deals that come with it. although i would love to find a cheaper case that still looks cool. any suggestions would be appreciated. If anyone knows where i can buy a HAF x nvidia edition please send me the link!!
