My budget is pretty much $1100, but that was with a 3200+, I decided to put a 3700+ in there lol.

With that ram if I were to buy another gig later would it work in dual channel?

Also what kind of benchmarks do you think it will get without being OC'ed at all? I just want to know so I can look forward to what I'll be getting instead of being in the dark.

Is anything wrong with it? Will I have EVERY last cable/screw needed if I were to buy directly off those links? If not what ones would I need? I dont want a stupid cable keeping me from building my pc when i get it lol.

so, let's say it all works with those components. What's your rating on a scale of 1-10 (keep budget in mind lol)

(edit- thanks to Taven for the great idea on the video card)

that looks like a good computer. are u sure u dont want a dvd burner though? and if u were to buy another one gig stick of ram it would work in dual channel. you shuld have all screws and cables as long as one of the parts u bought was OEM. but besides that it looks good. i like that case.
 
bigsaucybob- I'm sure I don't want a dvd burner, the family pc can take care of that =) and thanks for the info on the ram and cables/screws. Also glad to see we both like the case :) lol

taven- Thanks much! That card will enable me to get this pc sooner and cheaper! thanks again!
 
That is a beast of a case (beast means good).
And I am not sure about benchmarks, I just know you will be pleased with the results. Happy gaming. :D
 
I've been looking forward to the actual building of it VERY much, I don't feel very confident with pc's but I will have 3 people I can ask for assistance plus you guys so I know that it will get built + I will gain a lot of confidence after having built it. :)

Hehe nice to see that others like the case, I thought it would be one of those situations where I was one of a few that desired it.

Thanks for all of your replies, it makes me feel much more confident and comfortable with all of this.
