Well then I'll get one of those. Thanks!

That study about memory was comparing 4 gb to 16 gb. So really the difference between 8 and 16 is still unknown.
Concerning the 212, get the Evo over the plus. From everything I read on ocn the Evo cools better than the plus for basically the same price.
Ilikelsu- that water situation would have freaked me the hell out

You can add USB 3.0 to that case if you ever really need it, Champion. They make 5.25 bays with USB 3.0 in them just for stuff like this.
Or you could find yourself a case that has it.

Want to see if you can find a case around the same price that has it? Or is it not necessary? What's the difference between USB 2.0 and 3.0, anyway? I assume my USB stuff will work on this computer regardless.

If you are going to spend that much just get the N520. It gets overlooked because it is usually $10 more than the 212, but it is better IMO. It comes with two fans for a push/pull set up and the radiator is larger.
Completely have to disagree with this. The 212 stomps all over the N520 in temp testing typically. The 212 also regularly goes for only $20, half that price. Plus 120mm >>>> 92mm as far as fan choices as well.
There's a reason the Hyper 212 (+ or newer Evo) is wayyyyyy more popular than the N520. Cools better, fan choices, noise (dpends on what test I suppose here)...there's nothing the 520 has over the 212 series except shorter height.

Yea it will all work fine and also if you really need 3.0 there are some on that MOBO already in the back I/O.

Ok I'll just go with everything as is, then.

Alright so just snag two of those video cards and the rest buy as directed?

I would wait and buy it all at once. If you get a part that doesn't work you only have 30 days to do an RMA through Newegg or whoever. After that you have to deal with the factory. It's best to get everything in at the same time so you can build the PC and test it all out.

Just to be sure, do you think I should get a case with USB 3.0 if you can find one for around $50 like the other case? Or should I just go with the one I have now?
Posted on 7/13/13 at 8:21 pm to tehchampion140
Everyone has preferences on cases. I just like a basic style case, and I don't like Rosewill cases at all. If it were me though I would go ahead and get a case with 3.0 on it since the mobo supports it. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible too.
I also think there are overall better cases to be had for $50.

If you like the military style look I just picked up an Antec GX700 for $40 from Microcenter and it's a cooling beast for the pricepoint while also remaining very quiet.
The Corsair 300r is also great for the price.

Everything Corsair makes is good.
This one gets overlooked and I think it's a great case. Has plenty of room for fan and radiator options too.

Which would you suggest from the one I posted and that one?
Posted on 7/13/13 at 8:33 pm to tehchampion140
That 200R is a compact case. Not sure what sort of room it has for larger vid cards or coolers as I have never seen it in person.
I have the Xigmateck right now because I bought it as a temporary case and it's pretty nice for the price. I had a Gigabyte card with the 3 coolers on it, which is one of the larger vid cards, and it fit the case fine.
I also cools really well.

Ok I'll probably go with that Xigmateck then.

Here's some good comparos, these helped me choose the Antec GX700, but there's many contenders.

The 300r is a good option too, but is noticeably louder. If you can put up with the looks (not everyone likes military style), the GX700 is tough to beat for $40. Comes stock with 1 120mm in rear and 2 140mm up top. Fan controller, 2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 well spaced apart and good cable management. Also the temp and noise tests favor it very well too.
Mine is fully stocked. I have my LQ-310 closed loop on the rear 120mm mount with 2 120mm stacked on the radiator. The top 140mm I left alone. I moved the rear stock 120mm up front while adding a second 120mm intake fan up front as well as finishing things off with a 120mm intake on the side blowing across the graphics card. I have the 2 front intake 120s and 2 top 140's on the fan controller which has off, low and high settings.
