being "Cut and Dry" in a pissing contest like this is the only way to go!

Although i do enjoy reading pissing contest threads like this, it gets old after you see repetitive post over and over a few times.


Enjoy your pissing contest !

FFS this is still going on?

Get what you can afford and move on !

this is the case i just bought for my current PC build





got it on sale for 99.99 with free shipping

no joke this case is very big when you get it

i have the white one

Lucky for you my fav sight is also Canadian !

as for motherboards it would be good to find one that will support newer processors coming out. The one i have just got now supports Intel new 22nm Ivy Bridge CPU. Those wont be out till next year but i can use Sandy Bridge till then or hold off. It also support the new PCIx3.0 so i can upgrade my video card down the line but don't expect PCIe3.0 video cards just yet.

Ram is getting cheap even for DDR3 depending on size and speed.

Hard drive are still cheap but if you want your system to scream grab a SSD. But note this: they are still new and expensive and the read write has a huge gap between them per size and cost. I have managed to find a Nice 120GB SSD SATA3 for $179 i believe with a read/write of 550/510.

Video cards are up to you do you want to game, design, or brows the net? Also just an FYI in case you see this. PCIe2.1 does fit in PCIe2.0 slots its just a little upgrade for the video cards but they still work together in the same slot so don't go made looking for a motherboard with a PCIe2.1 slot.

As for water cooling that not something i really touch on. But this is also just an FYI the Intel Sandy Bridge CPU can OC close to 5Ghz on air stable. The newer Ivy Bridge will prolly be just the same or better.

Now this is just me talking but I would start with the case first! That way you can picture how all your stuff will look inside before you get them. Also a case with a good air flow design would help as well.

i think that all i have for now till i think of something else
