Check This Out Post Your Gaming Rig!

When I finish paying off my credit card, ill get a new case & a new vid card. Im prob gonna get Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro & 2x2GB G.Skill memory here soon.

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is a rockin' cooler. I got my E7200 up to 3.6 GHz with the Freezer 7. That's in a case with very poor airflow too.

I also hope you plan to buy a 64 bit OS... all of that RAM will do you no good in XP.

I am extremely happy with it. I would have preferred the liquid cooling armor + but it was not out when I needed a new case.

The only problem with it is that all of the exhaust goes out the back, and only the back. You can install extra fans in the bottom and turn them backwards so that some of the exhaust goes out through the bottom, but its not effective.

So you cant really put this thing right up next to the wall and expect to overclock without stuff getting really hot.

the problem got pretty bad after I got my 4870 X2 because all its exhaust also goes out the back. So i have recently slid it away from the wall about 6 inches. It looks strange so far from the wall but im nnot going to burn my parts up.
