Budget:around 1500 give or take.

Ok I currently have a Phenom II 1100T Black Edition Six Core Processor - 3.30GHz I got from my lovely gf *she thought I could use it in my current one,but I cant* so it gave me an excuse to go ahead with a new set up so asking for any build idea's around that. This computer will be used mainly for gaming

Also is Azza any good for computer cases? A buddy has a red and black one he got and does not like I was wondering if it be worth taking off him? It's a Salano or something to that effect...it is mainly black and red are my favorite colors and kinda what I want to aim for on this built. Thanks =)
 
you've enough budget to get either full tower or mid tower, however i would suggest mid tower as after using full tower twice and going with mid tower all i can say is HS stuff fits in this one too, and on the way i saved about $150 whole. Azza are good cases, and corsair is making some good once too now, but they are costly, i got in win track grate case and not more mombo jumbo or not too flashy.

if you are doing full water cooling i would go with full tower because in mid tower the once they'll fit water cooling are just gonna be too crowded and will be pain to work things around.
 
I dont plan on going water cooling yet, except maybe for cpu cooler like a h70 or something of that nature for now.Working on a set up with my brothers computer,want to see how it goes. Just trying to get a few ideas on parts I should be aiming for to pretty much build around the CPU my gf got me since I am still fairly novice to picking out the parts. So need everything else but a cpu with that budget...lets see them build ideas =)
 
Are you going to do any overclocking? I built a gaming system for my brother-in-law using an Asus Crosshair IV Formula board that was the best I've ever worked with. It is loaded with options and not just for overclocking. Coupled it with a Phenom II 1055T. I also used a Coolermaster HAF 932 that is a monster full tower.

I think in your case a HAF-922 would work well and though it is a mid-tower it has a lot of room.
 
A little bit, and I was looking at that board actually.My main areas I get lost are the graphics card and ram. and a good monitor mainly. They are where I seem to get lost for what is good and what is not.
