40$ savings in the case. + 15 MIR ~ 30$ in savings with the PSU (&& an extra 50watts, though you might not even need the extra wattage depending on what you are throwing in there)

So.. 70 w/o MIR + 85 w/ MIR

If you jump down to another high-end entry level motherboard- Saves you anywhere up to a little under 100 depending on what you are looking to get. Or even 50 less for a mid-high range motherboard.

The SSD drive you were looking at is already ~ 99.

So, you have the possibility for a larger drive if you really wanted to. I'd would assume that you'd see more performance with a larger SSD drive gaming wise then you would be by investing in these other components. You figure 60GB is ~ 55GB system file size, Windows install size is ~20GB, not including updates and such. That drive is going to be quite small by the time you are done, just installing the OS, and will only fit your OS. Means, you'll have a fast bootup, but you'll still have to access your games for your gaming rig on a slower drive.

@ MyAnathema - You know as well as I do that he's not going to buy watercooling. I'd still invest in a larger SSD drive, by switching around a few components. The Intel Core i5-2500K's do pretty well at OC'ing just on air cooling anyways. So, I don't think that it'll benefit him that much unless if he hates the sounds of fans.


::: I knew I should have clicked the refresh button. && No problem, you can probably cut down your motherboard as well, but that's up to you. There are a lot of boards ranging from 109 after MIR to 145 to 200+.
 
I still don't know what to decide on for the processor. Is an i7 really worth $100 more just for gaming or should I just stick to the i5? The i5 seems to be back in stock.

Edit: Wow... nevermind the i5 is out of stock again...
 
Ethereal- It all comes down to budget. Are you over budget already? Do you mind spending another 80$? I lucked out with my 2500k (195$). It's kind of funny how pricing fluctuates so much. Really comes down if you feel like parting with the money, You do have a good build so far. So, just weigh it out. Make sure once you order, keep checking back on prices- You can always call newegg for a price adjustment if things go down.

I have that Corsair Vengeance ram too, in my brothers build I did.

I did not know they would offer price adjustments after you have ordered. Do you know the timeframe that you are allowed to do that?
 
I've actually gotten a few price adjustments before at NewEgg just by asking. I don't think they have it in their policy online, so I think it can be at their digression but usually I don't think they have an issue as long as it's reasonable, at least I never had an issue out of all of the times I've asked before. Your going to be spending quite a bit as well. So, I think they would be more understanding anyways. Just make sure you call.
 
I was wondering if I should mod a dust filter for my computer case or if I should buy one pre-made from somewhere. Any opinions?
 
I decided to get the HAF 932 instead since it was a little bit cheaper. I haven't looked at it closely, but the holes for the fans on the sides and the top of the case are pretty big and I didn't notice any kind of dust filters on them. I'm not home at the moment, so I can't inspect them too closely but I will do so tomorrow to see if there are any dust filters around the hard drive compartments and 5.25" bays. If I do decide to get some kind of dust filter for the areas without them, are there any recommendations? I watched a youtube video where this guy used window screen mesh, so I thought I might try that.
 
Oh, okay. I was just afraid that too much dust might get in without them. Maybe I should just not be lazy and use compressed air to clean it out every couple of months. :P
 
I wouldn't use the intel Cpu's for gaming.. use AMD's new APU's they embarrass Intel on gaming performance!


You can get AMD APU motherboard combo's for cheap on ebay.. Alot of Intel people try to save face because its a household name but AMD is cheaper + performs better. Avoid Intel if you can
