Instead of the 900, get the Tempest http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] %2btempest Looks like a 900 wannabe, but this is much better, cable management is not a pain, fans are quiet, it accepts E-ATX mobos so you have much more space, and air filters. Tradeoff is the fans don't have speed control. BTW thanks for showing me this, but I have to include monitor with my purchase, as I only have one and its very crappy.

I see a few things I would change on that build. The OS and RAM is the first thing that caught my eye.

I am gonna overclock the hell out the CPU so ill stick with the current one. But for some reason I don't like the look of the 690 seems a bit boring. Thanks for the PSU link I also realized that the 900 was on sale there. And I don't get why 64 bit is so good.. Supports really little apps. |
