Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window
who posted that they found this for like 65 dollars yesterday? not that it isn't worth 120, but that would be a big save.

why do you need this, I know its 9 dollars but jw.

Storage: Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($101.11 @ eCost)
I would put down the extra fifty bucks to get 240gb but that's personal preference.

again, you can get 3tb seagates for like 130 and 2tb for 90. I bought a nice 500gb hdd just a few months ago and now I am keeping an eye out for a bigger hdd. Not hurting for space mind you, but it fills up faster than you think once you make a disk image, do regular backups, get any kind of media, etc

Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($129.99 @ Microcenter)
good board and nearly what i paid for mine, but these change price rather frequently not to mention got comboed with 8gb ram recently.

CPU Cooler: Enermax ETD-T60-VD 76.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($34.99 @ Newegg)
No. Your case will fit the biggest tower heatsinks they make. Why buy a low profile one with less surface are with which to dissipate heat? CM 212 evo huge surface area, well respected especially for 30 bucks, and cheaper than the enermax.
Overall looks like a good build with lots of high quality components. You wont be disappointed with the way you have it now, but I am trying to get you a little more bang for buck. The only must is the cpu cooler.

I'll have to look at the cpu cooler. I don't know much about them at all and I may just wait till later because I am not overclocking right now.
It was earlier in the thread and I ordered one but they are sold out now.
I am maxed out at my budget now so I can't really go for anything else. I would like to up my storage but I have a laptop with all my media so this is just for steam basically. I was tempted to hold off on the ssd and use the money for a better gpu but i think the 7870 will be good for me. The only manufacture I trusted by word of mouth was evga and sapphire so I did kind of limit my options.
